Abstract: |
The relevant Historic Environment Record (HER) data has been obtained from Historic England London Region and Surrey County Council4.The Surrey County Council Archaeological Officer was contacted on 18th October 2021 to provide an overview of the Project and the three options in order to understand the potential for future Archaeological investigations. A response was provided by the Surrey County Council on the 25th October 2021 and confirmed that the area is not identified as being of high archaeological potential. The response noted that the impact of driven sheet piles on any buried archaeological deposits that are present will be minimal, and therefore there are no archaeological concerns for the proposed works and no further archaeological work will be required. Greater London Archaeology Advisory Service (GLAAS) were contacted on 25th October 2021to provide an overview of the Project and the three options in order to understand the potential for future Archaeological investigations. A response was provided by the Archaeology Advisor in GLAAS for South London, on 27th October 2021 and stated that it was deemed that the Site possesses no discernible archaeological interest regarding the proposed works and no further archaeological work will be required.
Baseline information has been gathered within a 1km radius of the Site boundary (hereby referred to as the ‘study area’). This search radius is considered sufficient to produce a comprehensive baseline for the Site and will allow for an understanding of the archaeological potential and historic significance to be established, and any subsequent archaeological mitigation in relation to the proposed remedial works. The DBA follows the 2017 updated Chartered Institute for Archaeologists’ (CIfA) Standard and Guidance for Historic Environment Desk-Based Assessment, and Historic England’s Conservation Principles, Policies and Guidance (Historic England, 2008). The CIfA guidance outlines the necessity of the DBA to enable appropriate mitigation strategies where necessary, in line with the local and national policies in place. The following resources have been used to compile this DBA:
●An examination of local, regional and national planning policies in relation to the historic environment;
●A search of the Historic England National Heritage List for England (NHLE) dataset for designated heritage assets within the study area;
●A search of the Greater London and Surrey HERs for archaeological sites, archaeological findspots, locally listed buildings, archaeological priority areas and archaeological event locations within the study area;
●A search of the relevant published and unpublished archaeological sources within the wider area via the Archaeological Data Service (ADS);
●A search of the Portable Antiquities Project (PAS) database for additional findspots within the study area;
●An examination of relevant aerial imagery held by the National Collection of Aerial Photography;
●An examination of Google Earth Pro, for historic images;
●An examination of the British Geological Survey (BGS) data;
●An inspection of cartographic evidence for land use history of the site, including Ordnance Survey, tithe and earlier maps for the study area; and
●An assessment of relevant published and unpublished historical sources, both online and archive resources. This DBA has been undertaken to assess the likely historic environment impacts of development proposals at Hampton Distribution Reservoir. This assessment has incorporated a review of the available data from the Greater London and Surrey HERs within the study area. Within the study area there is one scheduled monument, three Grade II* listed buildings and 16Grade II listed buildings and two conservation areas. |
