Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment for the historic environment was undertaken at Ormiston Park Academy, Nethan Drive, Aveley, Thurrock (NGR TQ 567 809). It was undertaken on behalf of Arthur Amos Associates whose client Thurrock Council intends to demolish the existing school buildings on the site and construct new school buildings. The report describes and assesses the significance of the heritage assets (and potential heritage assets) that are potentially affected by the application. The setting of heritage assets is considered. The potential impact of the application, and the need for further on-site evaluation, is assessed. A desk-based assessment for the historic environment was undertaken at Ormiston Park Academy, Nethan Drive, Aveley, Thurrock (NGR TQ 567 809). It was undertaken on behalf of Arthur Amos Associates whose client Thurrock Council intends to demolish the existing school buildings on the site and construct new school buildings. This report describes and assesses the significance of the heritage assets (and potential heritage assets) that are potentially affected by the application. The setting of heritage assets is considered. The potential impact of the application, and the need for further on-site evaluation, is assessed. The site is currently an academy on the northern edge of Aveley, a village in the borough of Thurrock. The site is rectangular in outline with the school buildings to the west and playing fields to the east. To the west of the site is the Kenningtons estate built in the 1950s and 1960s, while to the east and north are playing fields and a golf course. Thurrock is an area in which Pleistocene gravels of national importance survive. The Thames terrace sequence in this area provides an important record of climatic conditions since the Anglian glaciation. At Sandy Lane to the west of the site, gravel workings in the 1960s uncovered fossilised mammoth and straight tusked elephant remains which are now in the Natural History Museum. |
