Abstract:		 Baseline information has been gathered within a 250m radius from the Site boundary (hereby referred to as the ‘study area’) for both designated and non-designated heritage assets. This search radius was chosen following consultation with the Greater London Historic Environment Record (GLHER) Officer on the 9th of December 2022, where this distance was determined to be sufficient to produce a comprehensive baseline for the Site. This will also allow for an understanding to be established of the archaeological potential and historic significance as well as any alterations to setting, and subsequently for appropriate mitigation to be recommended for the works regarding the historic environment. The screening assessment has been informed by desk-based research, utilising the following sources: ● 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 GLHER for archaeological sites, archaeological findspots, locally listed buildings, archaeological priority areas and archaeological event locations within the study area; ● An examination of Google Earth Pro, for historic aerial images; ● The Historic England Aerial Archaeology Mapping Explorer8; ● An examination of the British Geological Survey (BGS) data; ● An inspection of the cartographic evidence for the land use history of the Site; and ● An examination of the other available online historic sources (identified in footnotes where relevant). This screening assessment has provided a preliminary assessment of the potential historic environment impacts resulting from the proposed works. There is one listed building with the Site and a further 55 within 250m of the Site boundary. These assets are expected to suffer temporary impacts from the construction works due to a change in their setting which is of great importance for their overall value. The Statue of Lord Byron which is located within the Site is anticipated to suffer the largest number of impacts to its integrity and changes to its setting unless appropriate measures are put in place to safeguard this asset. As such it is recommended that the asset be fully padded and boarded up as well as the establishment of a 2m buffer zone fully surrounding it. These mitigation measures will lower the impacts of the detrimental effects incurred during completion of required works. These mitigation measures should be monitored to ensure the asset is not affected by any negative ramifications as a result of being covered for an extended period of time. The Site sits within the Royal Parks Conservation Area as well as the Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens Tier II APA. A further two Conservation Areas, Mayfair and Belgravia are located within 250m of the Site. There are also three designated Royal Parks and Gardens located within 250m of the Site, these being Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace and Green Park. A further 16 non-designated heritage assets were recorded within 250m of the Site, which indicate the existence of remains that date from the Palaeolithic period onwards. The Site appears to be relatively undisturbed, and the potential for archaeology within the Site is considered to be high for prehistoric periods, and low to moderate for all other periods, with the exception of a high potential for post-medieval and modern remains relating to the high level of development conducted within the area during this period. The nature of the Site is unverified in the absence of a site walkover.
