Abstract:		 The proposed development, referred to presently as Waterbeach New Settlement, has a mixture of current land uses. Over half of the Site is occupied by the former Waterbeach barracks and airfield and the eastern extents by agricultural farmland. North is the Scheduled Monument and medieval remains of Denny Abbey. The Site is also bounded on its western side by Car Dyke Roman canal and the Roman road known as Akeman Street. Evidence for archaeological remains from the Lower Palaeolithic through to the modern period have been identified within the 1.5km study area, predominantly located across the western and northern portion of the search area on the higher clay geology. Remains of a Roman date are likely to be present within the Site. The eastern portion of the Site is least likely to hold any archaeological remains due to it being located by of the deeper peat fen. It is quite likely that potential archaeological remains within the former barracks and airfield have been disturbed. The airfield itself contains large areas of green space which could hold surviving archaeology. The airfield was active during the Second World War and as a result there is the potential for military remains on the Site. It is known that a number of military aircraft crashed here. Effects on the historic landscape need to be considered, particularly as the Site bounds the Scheduled Monument of Denny Abbey. The setting of these medieval monastic buildings form part of a heritage asset that is of high importance.
