Abstract:		 A planning application has been submitted to Luton Borough Council for the erection of 19 domestic dwellings with ancillary buildings, garages, access routes and landscaping. The application was supported by a heritage statement (Albion Archaeology 2014). The Central Bedfordshire Council Archaeologist (CBCA) has advised the planning authority that further information is required before the application can be determined. This is to be supplied by means of an archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching. Clarence Country Homes commissioned Albion Archaeology to undertake the evaluation. The trial trench evaluation uncovered no archaeological remains. The area is shown to have been subject to modern landscaping, most likely associated with construction of the housing estate to the west. This has increased the depth of overburden across the majority of the site. Whilst the potential for the presence of prehistoric remains within the area is still classed as high for the far northern part of the site, adjacent to Dray's Ditches, the potential impact is classed as low given the large depth of overburden. Given the absence of archaeological remains uncovered during the evaluation the potential for assets across the remainder of the site is negligible to low, with the significance of such assets negligible to low.
