Abstract: |
Baseline information has been gathered within a 750m radius of the red line boundary of the site (hereby referred to as the ‘study area’). This study area is considered sufficient to produce a comprehensive baseline for the site, to facilitate an understanding of the archaeological potential within the site, its historic significance and heritage assets which may constrain development of the site. The following actions have been undertaken for this assessment: ● An examination of the local and national planning policies in relation to the historic environment; ● A search of the National Heritage List for England (NHLE) for Listed Buildings, Registered Parks and Gardens, Scheduled Monuments, World Heritage Sites and Registered Battlefields within the study area; ● A search of the Derbyshire Historic Environment Record (HER) for archaeological sites, archaeological findspots and other non-designated heritage assets within the study area; ● A search of the South Derbyshire District Council website for conservation areas within the study area, review of local planning policies and confirmation there is no list of locally listed buildings in south Derbyshire; ● An examination of the relevant published and unpublished archaeological and historic sources e.g. journals and historic records; ● An examination of topographical and geological evidence; ● A map regression exercise using historic maps, as available online, to help determine previous land use of the site; and ● A site visit undertaken on the 31st January 2023. Due to distance between the site and all identified assets, as well as screening by topography and the built environment, no impact to any designated or non-designated heritage asset is anticipated as a result of the proposed scheme, including through change in setting There is limited potential to impact archaeological remains. Remains are anticipated to best survive in the centre and west of the William Allitt playing field. If present, remains would likely relate to post-medieval and modern agricultural practice. Assessment undertaken in this survey has found that block EFAG is not considered a non-designated heritage asset; it is not recorded as a heritage assets in any referenced data set and does not meet the requirements set out by Historic England (2017) to be considered significant enough to be considered a heritage asset. However, it does have some individual features of limited architectural interest, such as the decorative terracotta surround to the principal entrance. |
