Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted for the creation of a lake as a wildlife habitat by mineral extraction (part retrospective) on Land at Bridge Farm, off Bedford Road, Sandy, Bedfordshire. The permitted development comprised the regularisation of part of the lake, a temporary access track and temporary storage of topsoil during development. Topsoil and subsoil across part of the lake had earlier been excavated down to the underlying terrace gravels without archaeological supervision. As the lake lies adjacent to archaeological heritage assets in the form of a Roman road and a series of cropmarks of possible prehistoric and Roman date, the Central Bedfordshire Council Archaeologist advised that a programme of archaeological observation, investigation, recording, analysis and publication should be carried out during the excavation of the remainder of the lake. This is in line with Paragraph 141 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). The archaeological works consisted of two stages: Cleaning of the surface of the part of the proposed lake that had already been reduced. and machine-excavation of the unexcavated part of the proposed lake to the level of archaeological visibility. No archaeological features or artefacts were revealed during any stage of the works.
