Abstract:		 Border Archaeology (BA) was instructed by Mr Matt Jones of Greenford Road Sutton Ltd to produce an Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment (ADBA) in connection with the demolition of Nos. 2-4 Greenford Road Sutton London SM1 1JY (NGR TQ 25734 64560 – approx. centre) and the erection of an eight-storey block with basement comprising ground floor commercial use with 26-unit residential accommodation above. This ADBA assesses the impact of the proposed development on buried heritage assets (archaeological remains) and forms an initial stage of site investigation enabling the local planning authority to formulate an appropriate response. The archaeological potential of the site has been assessed in overall terms as Moderate to High, with particular reference to encountering archaeological remains of post-medieval date. The potential to encounter remains of Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon date is assessed as Low, as Moderate for the medieval period and as Low to Moderate for prehistoric remains. The overall assessment reflects the fact that the site lies within the Tier 2 Sutton Archaeological Priority Area (GLHER DLO33024) and North Downs Fringe and Springline Archaeological Priority Area (GLHER DLO33266) (Fig. 4). This APA covers the historic core of the borough and is considered to have potential to contain early medieval remains in addition to evidence of medieval and post-medieval activity. The North Downs Fringe and Springline APA which crosses the central portion of the Sutton APA relates to an area favourable to human settlement from at least the Bronze Age and which offers the greatest potential in the borough for well-preserved early prehistoric remains. The impact of the proposed development on any surviving archaeological deposits or features is considered to be Moderate to High. It should be noted that there have been relatively few archaeological interventions recorded in the vicinity of the site and consequently it is difficult to draw definite conclusions regarding the nature and depth of surviving archaeological deposits in this area and the extent of modern truncation. In view of the location of the site within two APAs and the overall assessment of it having Moderate to High potential to encounter archaeological remains, a programme of archaeological work is advised, the details of which to be agreed with the Greater London Archaeological Advisory Service. Recommendations: It is Border Archaeology’s considered opinion that, prima facie, the archaeological potential of the site does not present an impediment to the proposed development. Given the Moderate to High potential of the site it is recommended that an appropriate programme of archaeological work, the details of which to be agreed with the Greater London Archaeological Advisory Service, will be necessary to determine the extent, depth and significance of buried archaeological features and deposits across the site.
