Abstract:		 Baseline information has been gathered within a 500m radius from the site boundary (hereby referred to as the ‘study area’) for non-designated heritage assets; a 1km radius has been used for designated heritage assets. This search radius is considered sufficient to produce a comprehensive baseline for the site. This will 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 proposed development regarding the historic environment. This 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 Oxfordshire Historic Environment Record (HER) 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; ● 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). There is one conservation area and 55 listed buildings within 1km of the site. There may be temporary changes to the settings of the conservation area should measures not be in place to minimise noise and vibration caused by the construction works. There may also be temporary changes to the setting of the conservation area and listed buildings contained within it through the introduction of noise intrusion, construction machinery and traffic if construction traffic passes through the conservation area itself to reach the STW. Oxfordshire HER maps a further two heritage assets within 500m of the site, which include moderate – high potential for modern remains relating to the construction of the STW and a low potential for remains from all other periods. There is considered to be a moderate potential for paleoenvironmental remains. An examination of current and historic mapping indicates that the current STW was not constructed until after 1960 and is present on aerial imagery from 2004. No significant change has been observed in the layout of the STW since this date. Areas within the south-west and north-west of the site appear as grassland in aerial imagery, which may not have been disturbed by the infrastructure of the STW. However, the topography and evidence of former ground disturbance in these areas is unverified in the absence of a site walkover.
