| Abstract: |
The following resources have been consulted in the process of compiling the Historic Environment baseline information: ● a search of the Historic England National Heritage List for England (NHLE) dataset for World Heritage Sites, Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings, Registered Parks and Gardens, and Registered Battlefields within the study area; ● an examination of local, regional, and national planning policies in relation to the historic environment; ● a search of the South Derbyshire District Council local plans for conservation areas; ● a search of the Derbyshire HER (search Ref No. CDR12465) database for non-designated archaeological sites, find spots and non-designated historic buildings within the study area as well as mapped paleochannels; ● an inspection of geological (maps) relevant to the study area; ● a site walkover (see Section 2.2.3); ● previous archaeological surveys and investigations; ● an inspection of the cartographic evidence for the land use history of the site; and information on previous impacts to the pipeline route. The pipeline route runs through both urban and rural contexts on the edge of the historical cores of Melbourne and Ticknall, which are designated conservation areas. These Conservation Areas contain numerous designated heritage assets which demonstrate the towns’ historical identity. The majority of designated assets identified within the study area fall within the Melbourne core where monuments such as Melbourne Castle and Melbourne Hall exemplifies the settlement’s development throughout the medieval and post-medieval periods. The settlements also contain a number of non-designated assets relating to the town’s industrial history including former quarry pits from lime and brickyard industries that were prevalent in the area until the 19th century. Nearby archaeological investigations have identified continuous activity dating back as early as the Neolithic period. Water courses such as Carr Brook would have been favourable locations for early settlements and evidence recovered from excavations close to these waterways within the study area appear to corroborate this. Archaeological works carried within the settlements of Melbourne and Ticknall have uncovered remnants of the towns’ earlier phases, primarily from the medieval and early post-medieval periods, which showcase the extensive and multi-phased developments of these settlements. Outside the settlement cores, the potential for archaeological remains is generally considered lower. Although the pipeline route runs through the edge of the Melbourne and Ticknall Conservation Areas where there are numerous listed buildings, the works which involve a buried pipe below ground will not cause any permanent changes to the ability to understand their significance and therefore no harm. Within Melbourne the new rising main will connect to the town’s existing sewage network at Penn Lane which will convey flows to the existing Melbourne STW and will remove the need for archaeological work to take place within the historical core of the town. The decommissioning of Ticknall STW and the construction of a new PS is not anticipated to impact on any known or unknown archaeological remains. The PS will be located within the footprint of the existing STW which has already undergone significant ground disturbance during its construction. The pipeline is expected to be constructed via a cut trench and excavations associated with this will remove all potential unknown archaeological remains within its footprint. There are currently no known archaeological remains within the route of the pipeline. Where the pipeline is within existing road corridors, there is likely to have been some previous disturbance and it is unknown what extent of archaeological remains may survive in these areas. |
