Abstract: |
The Client had been granted consent (planning reference CB/10/03034/FULL) for the construction of a single 2.3 Mw turbine, and the associated haul road and crane base. The Central Bedfordshire Archaeological Officer (AO), who advises the Local Planning Authority (LPA) on archaeological matters, advised that the development site shared a parcel of land which included locally significant sites recorded on the Central Bedfordshire Historic Environment Record (CBHER). CBHER noted that Roman cultural material had been recovered during quarrying at Double Arches Quarry during the early 20th century (HER1170). Therefore, under the terms of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) the proposals were considered to have the potential to impact upon these heritage assets. A Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) outlining the observation strategy and methodology was prepared by Headland Archaeology (2013) on behalf of the client, and was subsequently approved by the AO. |
