Abstract: |
The study area is made up of a 1km buffer from and including the proposed development area for designated heritage assets, and a 500m buffer for undesignated heritage assets. This considers those heritage assets with potential to be directly affected by the proposed development, for example archaeological remains within the proposed development area and
the setting of heritage assets which could be affected by the proposed development. Where appropriate, reference is made to heritage assets beyond the study area, but only where it is required to provide greater context and inform an understanding of heritage potential for the study area.
The following resources have been used to inform this assessment including;
● Relevant national and local planning policy documents;
● The online National Heritage List for England (NHLE);
● The Humber Historic Environment Record (HER);
● Local studies resources;
● Historic maps; and
● Online resources including the archaeological data service and local history websites. This report has provided a heritage impact assessment for an extension to the sewage treatment works at Leven in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The proposed development will result in a 2800m2 extension into a previously arable field to the south of the existing sewage treatment works, within which will be constructed two 25m diameter trickling filters. During
construction, an additional temporary work compound will be sited within an area of approximately 2800m2 adjacent to the south of the proposed works.
The assessment has shown that there will be no significant impact from the development upon
the setting of designated and undesignated heritage assets within the landscape. Nor will there be any impact upon the Leven conservation area.
The potential for archaeological remains before truncation has been assessed as moderate for
the prehistoric period and low for all other periods. However, the lack of previous archaeological investigation makes the exact nature of potential archaeological deposits difficult to determine. The extent of truncation within the boundary of the proposed development is considered to be low.
Due to the potential for prehistoric remains, and the limited understanding of the location’s archaeological potential, it is recommended that the site be investigated further through trial trenching.
It is recommended that Humber Archaeology Partnership is consulted during the planning
application process regarding any requirements for further investigation. |
