Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment to assess the potential impact that a proposed solar farm development site on land near Fobbing, Essex would have on the historic environment In March 2020 Headland Archaeology was commissioned to produce a desk-based assessment to assess the potential impact that a proposed solar farm development site on land near Fobbing, Essex would have on the historic environment. The site contains no designated heritage assets, although there is one Scheduled Monument, one Grade I Listed Building, two Grade II* and seventeen Grade II Listed Buildings within the Outer Study Area. No harm is predicted to the significance of any of the designated heritage assets in the wider 1 km study area through change within their settings. This includes the Bombing Decoy scheduled monument and the Grade I Listed Church of St Michael. This assessment has found evidence for Mesolithic activity and for Iron Age, Roman and medieval settlements within the Outer Study Area. The site contains two known non-designated heritage assets: a low mound of salt-making debris dating to the Late Iron Age or Romano-British period of medium archaeological significance within Field 5 and a medieval or post-medieval hollow way of low archaeological significance marking the route of an old road. There is a potential for the survival of additional, previously unknown archaeological remains at the site, in particular further remains associated with the salt-making mound. Groundworks for the construction of the new solar farm and battery storage facility, access roads, utility trenches, compounds and landscaping works are likely to physically impact any archaeological remains at the site. The impacts on known and potential archaeological remains are not considered to be sufficiently significant to prevent development of the site, but further investigations and/or mitigation work may be required by the local planning authority.
