Description

This section of the ES considers the potential archaeological remains on the site, and the possible impact of the proposed development on these and any constraints that may effect possible archaeological investigation. A review is given of the geology of the area and the likelihood that archaeological material may be present on this site. An examination is presented of the historical and archaeological background of the area in order to determine the possibility of the survival of buried archaeological remains. The Borough's policy with regard to archaeology and the planning process is also reviewed.
This section is based upon an Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment report compiled by Wessex Archaeology (London). The Site is centred on NGR 538800 184350.
