SUMMARY

Halsall Lloyd Partnership LLP has commissioned an archaeological desk based assessment of land proposed for redevelopment in the Bramcote Hills area of Nottingham. The northern boundary of the site follows the route of a public footpath known as Deddington Track which forms part of the Robin Hood Way. The eastern boundary of the site abuts Moor Lane and the western boundary is adjacent to Thoresby Road. The southern boundary abuts the gardens of houses on Ranmore Close and Balmoral Drive. In line with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), where a site on which development is proposed includes or has the potential to include heritage assets with archaeological interest, the developer is required to submit an appropriate desk-based assessment describing the significance of any heritage assets affected. This report is that desk-based assessment. The proposed redevelopment site is roughly rectangular in shape and covers an area of approximately 7 hectares. Until 2009 the site was occupied by Bramcote Hills Golf Course, some of the former bunkers can still be seen within the central section of the site. Towards the eastern edge of the proposed development site is Deddington Plantation, and the former golf club car park and shop. The remainder of the site consists of rough pasture with some mature trees. No archaeological features, such as extant earthworks, were clearly evident within the proposed redevelopment area during the site visit. The desk based assessment demonstrated that there are no known designated or non-designated heritage assets within the proposed redevelopment area itself. Within a 1km radius of the centre of the proposed redevelopment site there are seven designated heritage assets consisting of Grade II Listed Buildings, and forty two non-designated heritage assets, although some of these heritage assets have no physical form (i.e. they are documentary references or denote surface finds that have now been removed from the study area). The non-designated heritage assets include ten Prehistoric, two Roman, one Medieval, eleven Post Medieval, eight Modern and ten undated heritage assets which are primarily associated with coal mining north of Bramcote Village. There are no designated heritage assets with a restricted direct view to/from the proposed redevelopment area. Cartographic analysis suggests that the proposed redevelopment site remained essentially unchanged from the time of Enclosure in 1771 until the 1960s. First edition Ordnance Survey maps from 1885 show some re configuration of field boundaries within the proposed redevelopment area when compared to earlier maps, but these remain unchanged until residential development took place immediately south of the study area in the 1960s. These Post Medieval field boundaries may be encountered within the site boundary. Aerial photographs reveal a number of cropmarks (indicating buried features) both within the proposed redevelopment site and in the immediate vicinity. Those within the proposed redevelopment area include possible enclosures and a rectangular feature (Figure 10). Those within the wider study area include mining remains, a possible relict watercourse, former field boundaries, probable footpaths, and Medieval cultivation remains. The exact nature, date and extent of these cropmarks is not known. However, in light of the evidence for Prehistoric activity within a 1km radius of the proposed redevelopment site there is significant potential for Prehistoric sub surface and surface remains within the site. Areas of ridge and furrow evident from aerial photographs suggest there is potential for there to be sub-surface remains relating to later medieval cultivation, providing they have not been ploughed out by modern farming. Photographs also indicate that sub-surface remains relating to Post-Medieval cultivation in the form of field boundaries may be encountered within the proposed redevelopment site. The significance of any buried archaeological remains identified beneath the proposed redevelopment area, could address priorities highlighted in the East Midlands Updated Research Agenda and Strategy (Knight, Vyner and Allen 2012).

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Site Background 1.1.1 The current landowners wish to redevelop land at Bramcote Hills Golf Course, Bramcote, and Nottinghamshire (Figure: 1). Pre-planning consultation has suggested that the proposed development, comprising the construction of a continuing care and specialist care community and associated amenities has the potential to impact upon cultural heritage assets and/or buried archaeological remains.

1.1.2 In line with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (see Section 3 below), where a site on which development is proposed includes or has the potential to include heritage assets with archaeological interest, the developer is required to submit an appropriate desk-based assessment describing the significance of any heritage assets affected (including any contribution made by their setting) and, where necessary, a field evaluation. 1.1.3 This report therefore provides a desk-based assessment of the archaeological potential of the proposed redevelopment site at Bramcote Hills Golf Course, Bramcote, Nottingham. The report contains an assessment of the potential significance of heritage assets at the site, impacts upon this significance and recommendations. 1.1.4 The wider study area for the assessment is defined as a 1km radius centred on the site (grid reference SK 51047 388753). 1.2 Site Topography and Geology

1.2.1 The site is located c. 0.64km north of Derby Road (A52) between Moor Lane to the west and Thoresby Road to the east. The northern boundary of the site follows the line of Deddington Lane and the southern boundary abuts the gardens of houses on Balmoral Drive and Ranmore Close. 1.2.2 The 1: 50,000 British Geological Mapping shows that the proposed redevelopment area is situated at the northern extent of a ridge of Nottingham Castle Sandstone Formation, a sedimentary bedrock formed approximately 246 to 251 million years ago in the Triassic period. Immediately north of the proposed redevelopment site is the southern end of the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Coal measures. (http://mapapps.bgs.ac.uk/geologyofbritain/home.html). 1.2.3 The overlying superficial soils comprise slowly permeable seasonally wet slightly acid but base-rich loamy and clayey soils. These soils are associated with seasonally wet pastures, woodland and grass production for dairying (www.landis.org.uk/soilscapes). 1.2.4 Topographically the proposed redevelopment site is undulating. Land slopes gently away from the southern boundary of the site at c. 69 m O.D towards Deddington Lane in the north at c. 59m O.D. Two prominent plateaus are visible within the boundary of the site, these are separated by a narrow hollow running north to south from Deddington Lane footpath. Deddington plantation is located towards the eastern edge of the proposed redevelopment site. To the east of the plantation land slopes away steeply to the east towards the former golf club car park, shop and Thoresby Road. 1.2.5 Beyond the site the natural topography rises to the west towards Bramcote Hills Park and Stapleford Hill where the Hemlock Stone is located. To the north of the proposed redevelopment area the land slopes away northwards towards Wollaton Vale.

2. METHODOLOGY

2.1 Assessment Methodology

2.1.1 The archaeological potential of the proposed redevelopment site was assessed using the following methods. Nottinghamshire Historic Environment Record The Nottinghamshire Historic Environment Record (NHER) held by Nottinghamshire County Council and was consulted for any relevant data for the proposed redevelopment site and 1km study area including recent fieldwork reports (Grey Literature). The Historic Environment Record holds records on both non-designated heritage assets, and designated heritage assets that are also recorded by the NMR including Listed Buildings, Conservation Areas and Scheduled Ancient Monuments. A comprehensive record of previous archaeological events is also maintained and this links to unpublished reports which are held in the HER library. National Monument Record Database (Including National Mapping Programme and Heritage Gateway) Information from the English Heritage database of archaeological sites (comprising over 400,000 records, including the Pastscapes website, along with other heritage evidence held on the on-line Heritage Gateway was consulted. The NMR Heritage List for England holds records on designated heritage assets that are also recorded by the NMR including Listed Buildings, Conservation Areas and Scheduled Ancient Monuments. Air Photographs A cover search of aerial photographs of the area held at the NMR included several that showed the proposed redevelopment area. Twenty five vertical prints were seen (Appendix C) Documentary & Cartographic Sources A rapid search was made for relevant published works, maps and documents held at the Nottinghamshire Archives, the Nottinghamshire Local Studies Library and the Trent & Peak Library. A cartographic date range of 1771 to 1991was obtained. Site Visit The proposed redevelopment site was subject to a rapid field inspection on the 2nd June 2014. Notes and photographs were taken to record conditions and any visible features of archaeological significance. Geological Information (Boreholes) No geotechnical data was available. 2.2 Report Structure Section 1. Introduces the proposed redevelopment site Section 2. Outlines the assessment methodology and report structure. Section 3. Summarises relevant national and local planning policy. Section 4.

3. PLANNING POLICY STATEMENTS RELATING TO ARCHAEOLOGY 3.1. National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)

3.1.1. In March 2012 the Department for Communities and Local Government published the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). This replaced PPS5: Planning for the Historic Environment. However, the PPS5 Practice Guide remains a valid and Government endorsed document pending the results of a review of guidance supporting national planning policy. 3.1.2. Section 12 of NPPF (Conserving and enhancing the historic environment) states; Local planning authorities should set out in their Local Plan a positive strategy for the conservation and enjoyment of the historic environment including heritage assets most at risk through neglect, decay or other threats. In doing so they should recognise that heritage assets are an irreplaceable resource and conserve them in a manner appropriate to their significance (para.126). 3.1.3. In regard to planning applications paragraph 128 states; Local planning authorities should require an applicant to describe the significance of any heritage assets affected, including any contribution made by their setting. The level of detail should be proportionate to the assets’ importance and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal on their significance. 3.1.4. In submitting applications;

As a minimum the relevant historic environment record should have been consulted and the heritage assets assessed using appropriate expertise where necessary.

Where a site on which development is proposed includes or has the potential to include heritage assets with archaeological interest, local planning authorities should require developers to submit an appropriate desk-based assessment and where necessary a field evaluation.

3.1.5 The PPS 5 practice guide states that: Where a desk-based assessment does not provide sufficient evidence for confident prediction of the impact of the proposal, it may be necessary to establish the extent, nature and importance of the asset’s significance through on-site evaluation. This document is the required desk-based assessment. 3.1.6. In determining planning applications it is recommended that in regard to

Designated Heritage Assets, Substantial harm to or loss of a Grade II listed building, park or garden should be exceptional. Substantial harm to or loss of designated heritage assets of the highest significance, notably scheduled monuments, protected wreck sites, battlefields, Grade I & II* listed buildings, Grade I & II* registered parks and gardens, and World Heritage Sites, should be wholly exceptional (para.132).

Where a proposed development will lead to substantial harm to or total loss of significance of a designated heritage asset, local planning authorities should refuse consent, unless it can be demonstrated that the substantial harm or loss is necessary to achieve substantial public benefits that out weight that harm or loss (para. 133).

Non-designated Heritage Assets.

In weighing applications that affect directly or indirectly non-designated heritage assets, a balanced judgement will be required having regard to the scale of any harm or loss and the significance of the heritage asset (para. 135).

3.1.7. In regard to applications it recommends to local planning authorities that;


___________________________________________________________________________________

13

They should also require developers to record and advance understanding of the significance of any heritage assets to be lost (wholly or in part) in a manner proportionate to their importance and the impact, and to make this evidence (and any archive generated) publicly accessible (para 141).

In addition note 30 states ; copies of evidence should be deposited with the relevant Historic Environment Record, and any archives with a local museum or other public depository. Note: - In NPFF Annexe 2. Heritage assets = A building, monument, site, place, area or landscape identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions, because of its heritage interest. Heritage asset includes designated heritage assets and assets identified by the local planning authority including local listing. Designated heritage assets = a world heritage site, scheduled monument, listed building, protected wreck site, registered park and garden, registered battlefield or conservation area designated under the relevant legislation. Archaeological interest = There will be archaeological interest in a heritage asset if it holds, or potentially may hold, evidence of past human activity worthy of expert investigation at some point. Heritage assets with archaeological interest are the primary source of evidence about the substance and evolution of places and the people and cultures that made them. Significance (for heritage policy) = The value of a heritage asset to this and future generations because of its heritage interest. That interest may be archaeological, architectural, artistic or historic. Significance derives not only from heritage asset’s physical presence, but also from its setting. 3.2 Setting Setting Policy and Guidance 3.2.1 Setting Policy: The definition of setting As defined in the PPS5 Practice Guide, setting is the surroundings in which an asset is experienced (CLG/DCMS/EH 2010, 34). In the document, Conservation Principles: Policy and Guidance (English Heritage 2008), it is noted that ‘places where significance stems essentially from the coherent expression of their particular cultural heritage values can be harmed by interventions of a radically different nature’ (English Heritage 2008, 58). The latest statement on Setting is the English Heritage document The Setting of Heritage Assets (English Heritage, 2011). This document refers to the practice guide for PPS5 and, in particular, the statement: ‘All heritage assets have a setting, irrespective of the form in which they survive and whether they are designated or not. Elements of a setting may make a positive or negative contribution to the significance of an asset, may affect the ability to appreciate that significance, or may be neutral’ (CLG/DCMS/EH 2010, 34). 3.2.2 Setting Assessment Criteria Paragraphs 114-117 of the PPS5 practice guide (CLG/DCMS/EH 2010, 34) consider setting extensively. In line with this guidance, criteria by which existing setting and change to setting will be judged as making a positive, negative or neutral contribution to the setting of an asset are: • View: the views to and from an asset will play an important part in the way in which we experience an asset. • Environmental factors: setting is influenced by environmental factors such as noise, dust and vibration. • Spatial associations and our understanding of the historic relationship between places: Buildings that are in close proximity but not visible from each other may have a historic or


___________________________________________________________________________________

14

aesthetic connection that amplifies the experience of the significance of each. They would be considered to be within one another’s setting. Importantly, the perceived extent of a setting may change as an asset and its surroundings evolve or as understanding of the asset improves. Also, the setting of a heritage asset can enhance its significance whether or not it was designed to do so. • Public appreciation: Finally, it is stated that the contribution that setting makes to the significance of an asset does not depend on there being public rights or an ability to access or experience that setting. Evaluation of the effect of change within the setting of a heritage asset will usually need to consider the implications, if any, for public appreciation of its significance. 3.3 Other considerations

3.3.1 Scheduled Monuments Scheduled Monuments, as defined under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act (1979) are sites, which have been selected by a set of non-statutory criteria to be of national importance. These criteria comprise period, rarity, documentation, group value, survival/condition, fragility/vulnerability, diversity and potential. Where scheduled sites are affected by development proposals there is a presumption in favour of their physical preservation. Any works, other than activities receiving class consent under The Ancient Monuments (Class Consents) Order 1981, as amended by The Ancient Monuments (Class Consents) Order 1984, which would have the effect of demolishing, destroying, damaging, removing, repairing, altering, adding to, flooding or covering-up a Scheduled Monument require consent from the Secretary of State for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport. 3.3.2 Listed Buildings/Structures Buildings of national, regional or local historical and architectural importance are protected under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act, 1990. Buildings designated as ‘Listed’ are afforded protection from physical alteration or effects on their historical setting. As of 2011 English Heritage guidance defines all Listed buildings as of some ‘“national importance and special interest” (http://www.english heritage.org.uk/caring/listing/listed-buildings), though Grade II is the lowest grade of formal national designation which can be applied to a heritage asset. 3.3.3 Hedgerows Hedgerows of historic importance are afforded protection under The Hedgerow Regulations 1997, section 97 of the Environment Act 1995 (coming into effect in 1997). Any hedgerow which is defined as being of historical or ecological importance may require consent from the local planning authority prior to removal. 3.3.4 Institute for Archaeologists Standards and Guidance for Archaeological Desk-Based Assessments This guidance (IfA 2008) is non-statutory guidance representing industry best practice. It is commonly stipulated by local planning authorities that archaeological work is undertaken to IfA standards. The IfA also operates an accreditation scheme of Registered Archaeological Organisations in order to monitor the application of standards across the industry. 3.4. Local Policy: Broxtowe Local Plan 2004

The Broxtowe Local plan adopted in 2004 is gradually being replaced by documents being prepared under the Local Development Framework system (introduced in 2004), including the Core Strategy which is currently being compiled. The Broxtowe Local plan of 2004 was reviewed in 2007 to select those policies which should be "saved" under a legal process

http://www.english/


___________________________________________________________________________________

15

required for all local plans to ensure that they are kept up-to-date. No policies relating to heritage appear to have been saved. The following policies were deleted:

LISTED BUILDINGS

3.70 This policy confirms the Council’s intention to give protection to buildings listed as being of special architectural or historic interest. This is an area where development and conservation issues need to be addressed together. English Heritage will be consulted where appropriate in the assessment of proposals. Proposals to change the use of listed buildings which would otherwise be redundant may be appropriate in certain circumstances, although there will generally be a preference for retaining the building for the use for which it was originally built. Policy E5 states clearly that the demolition of listed buildings will not be granted consent; as with all policies in this Plan, an exception could be made if other material considerations justified it. Appendix 6 contains the addresses and grading of the borough’s listed buildings.

3.71 In considering any proposals where there would be an adverse effect on the character or interest of a listed building, it will be important for the Council to assess whether the adverse effect is outweighed by the benefits of securing a long-term use for the building. In these circumstances, it will also be important for the developer to demonstrate that the degree of alteration or addition is the minimum necessary to secure the future of the building, and that the development avoids the fragmentation of the management of the building and its grounds.

3.72 This policy is designed to implement objective e/h and accords with Structure Plan policy 3/17.

E5 Planning permission or listed building consent will not be granted for any alteration or addition to a listed building where there would be an adverse effect on its architectural or historic character or interest, unless, exceptionally, it can be demonstrated that the alteration or addition is essential to provide income for the upkeep of the building and/or secure a long-term beneficial use for the building, which is otherwise likely to become disused or fall into disrepair. Demolition of listed buildings will not be granted consent. Proposals to change the use of listed buildings which would otherwise be redundant may be appropriate in certain circumstances, although there will generally be a preference for retaining the building for the use for which it was originally built.

SETTING OF LISTED BUILDINGS

3.73 The setting of buildings of special architectural or historic character is often an essential part of their value, particularly in cases where there is an important view of a building across open land. Sometimes, the whole character of a street is determined by the prominence of listed buildings but can be easily upset by proposals for other development elsewhere in the street.

3.74 This policy is designed to implement objective e/h and accords with Structure Plan policy 3/17.

E6 Planning permission will not be granted for development which would adversely affect the setting of a listed building in terms of the scale, form, siting or design of the proposals.


___________________________________________________________________________________

16

ANCIENT MONUMENTS

3.120 Policy E21 applies to Scheduled Ancient Monuments in the borough. Existing Scheduled Ancient Monuments are listed in Appendix 6. There will continue to be a presumption to preserve these most important sites, as advised by PPG16.

3.121 This policy is designed to implement objective e/p and accords with Structure Plan policy 3/4.

E21 Planning permission will not be granted for development which would detrimentally affect Scheduled Ancient Monuments shown on the Proposals Map, or their setting.

OTHER SITES OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL INTEREST

3.122 In the case of sites of archaeological or historic significance other than Scheduled Ancient Monuments, the Council wishes to safeguard important sites wherever practical. It will seek to reconcile the needs of development with the interests of archaeology, and will where appropriate request that an archaeological evaluation be submitted prior to determining an application. Where, after consideration, development is permitted, conditions may be imposed to ensure the most appropriate treatment for the archaeological remains. Policy E22 applies to sites which emerge during the plan period on the advice of the county council or English Heritage.

3.123 This policy is designed to implement objective e/p and accords with

Structure Plan policy 3/4.

E22 Where proposals are submitted for development on sites identified as being of archaeological or historical importance, other than Scheduled Ancient Monuments, the Council will where appropriate:

a) request that an archaeological evaluation be submitted prior to determining the application; and

b) refuse permission for development which would detrimentally affect nationally important archaeological sites and their setting; and

c) where development is acceptable, impose conditions to achieve partial preservation in situ and/or secure appropriate treatment for archaeological remains including their recording or excavation

As part of the Local Development Framework, the Aligned Core Strategy will set out the strategic policy direction for future development in Broxtowe Borough. Whilst no detailed policy relating to archaeology currently exists, paragraph 2.4.1 vi in the Aligned Core Strategy (Publication Version June 2012) gives weight to heritage concerns (see below). However, the document is still out for consultation.

The following relevant paragraphs are taken from the Aligned Core Strategy (Publication Version June 2012)

1.1.14 The Aligned Core Strategies include policies and guidance on how the anticipated level of development can occur in a sustainable way, with all the infrastructure, parks and open space, community facilities and so forth that people need in their daily lives. The Strategies also describe in broad terms where the new homes, jobs and infrastructure will go; how development will be made to be as sustainable as possible; how the growth will benefit our existing communities whilst recognising what is special about the area. This includes the historic environment, the culture and heritage, the local distinctiveness between the City

Centre, the inner and outer suburbs, the town centres, and the more rural settlements and villages, together with the countryside that surrounds them.

The Future of Broxtowe, Gedling and Nottingham City in the Context of Greater Nottingham

2.2.8 The area has an excellent and improving cultural offer, with nationally recognised facilities, such as the world class sporting venues, a range of theatres, Capital FM Arena, the new ‘Nottingham Contemporary’ and Art Exchange galleries, and the Broadway independent cinema and film centre. Tourism, focussed around Robin Hood, Byron and DH Lawrence, is also a central element of the cultural offer, which has an important role for towns such as Eastwood. There are a wealth of listed buildings, conservation areas, scheduled ancient monuments, and registered historic parks and gardens, which all contribute to its quality of life, local distinctiveness and sense of place.

2.3.10 The area’s unique built and natural environment has been improved through the sensitive and high quality design of new development, whilst the historic environment, both urban and rural is valued and protected. The principle of the Green Belt remains and it continues to shape new development, especially with regard to its key purpose of preventing coalescence of Nottingham and Derby and their associated towns. Major new Green Infrastructure has enhanced the multifunctional open space provision and network of green corridors linking the built up areas to open countryside and has helped to address the impacts of that growth whilst also providing opportunities for healthy lifestyles. It has also contributed to a step change increase in the region’s biodiversity whilst allowing it to cope with climate change. Landscape character is now a key influence on new development.

2.4 Spatial Objectives

2.4.1 The Aligned Core Strategies spatial objectives seek to deliver this vision, and are also consistent and complementary with the various Councils’ Sustainable Community Strategies and national policies, particularly those on sustainable communities, as set out in national planning guidance.

vi. Protecting and enhancing the area’s individual and historic character and local distinctiveness: to preserve and enhance the distinctive natural and built heritage, by protecting and enhancing the historic environment, by promoting high quality locally distinct design, and by valuing the countryside for its productive qualities and ensuring its landscape character is maintained and enhanced. Strategic historic assets will be protected including Wollaton Park, Nottingham Castle and Newstead Abbey.

BASELINE DATA 4.1. Known Heritage Assets within the redevelopment area

NB: The Nottinghamshire HER organises data by Elements (prefix L) and Monuments (M) (see Appendix A). Elements (L) describe the archaeological evidence and Monuments (M) describe what those elements represent - so a find scatter remains at Element level unless there is enough evidence to suggest, for example, a villa, which then gets a Monument record. Accordingly, a number of elements (L) may actually be part of an ‘umbrella’ monument, whilst some Monuments do not have any associated elements. For the purposes of this assessment, elements have been considered as separate heritage assets even though they may only duplicate part of an interpreted Monument. Elements and Monuments can be cross-referenced in Appendix A. The National Monuments Record also have their own reference numbers for heritage assets, these are referred to as the NMR ref in the text. 4.1.1 Previous Archaeological Events There are no recorded previous archaeological events within the proposed redevelopment area, which remains unexplored archaeologically. 4.1.2. Designated Heritage Assets There are no designated heritage assets within the proposed redevelopment area or within the immediate vicinity. 4.1.3. Non-Designated Heritage Assets There are no non-designated heritage assets within the proposed redevelopment area. However the NHER records one non designated heritage asset c. 0.35km north of the centre of the proposed redevelopment site in the form of possible mining remains on Bramcote Moor (NHER ref: L7287). 4.2. Known Heritage Assets beyond the redevelopment area NB: The Nottinghamshire HER organises data by Elements (prefix L) and Monuments (M) (see Appendix A). Elements (L) describe the archaeological evidence and Monuments (M) describe what those elements represent - so a find scatter remains at Element level unless there is enough evidence to suggest, for example, a villa, which then gets a Monument record. Accordingly, a number of elements (L) may actually be part of an ‘umbrella’ monument, whilst some Monuments do not have any associated elements. For the purposes of this assessment, elements have been considered as separate heritage assets even though they may only duplicate part of an interpreted Monument. Elements and Monuments can be cross-referenced in Appendix A. 4.2.1 Previous Archaeological Events There are no previous archaeological events recorded by the NMR within a 1km radius of the site. 4.2.2. Designated Heritage Assets (Figure: 2) Within the wider study area there are seven designated heritage assets consisting of Grade II Listed Buildings, these comprise; the Church of St Michael and All Angels (NMR ref: 1247920) and tower (NMR ref: 1248207), the White Lion public house (NMR ref: 1246962), Broom Hill Terrace (NMR ref: 1248089), a group of Almshouses (NMR ref: 1263871), 338 Trowell Road (NMR ref: 1255225) and the Grange and Conservatory (NHER ref: 5.3.54). Grade II buildings are nationally important and of special interest. 92% of all listed buildings are in this class and it is the most likely grade of listing for a home owner.

The NHER lists one building of Local Interest Enhancement (LIE), this is the swimming baths at Crow Hill Park (NHER ref: 5.3.99). A further forty three buildings of local interest are listed as a result of the Bramcote Conservation Area Appraisal (LICA). These structures are listed in Appendix A. Full summaries of the designated heritage assets listed above are provided in Appendix B. 4.2.3. Non-Designated Heritage Assets (Figure 2)

Within the a 1km radius of the centre of the proposed redevelopment site the NHER records forty one non-designated heritage assets, although some of these heritage assets have no physical form (i.e. they are documentary references or denote surface finds that have now been removed from the study area). There is some duplication with NMR designated heritage assets. The non-designated heritage assets can be broken down by period and type to give a crude impression of the main phases of human activity (or at least the exploration of these phases of human activity) in the study area: The NHER lists ten Prehistoric heritage assets. The possible site of a Bronze Age barrow (NHER ref: M645) and pottery and pit at Bramcote (NHER ref: L645), copper mines on Stapleford Hill of probable Prehistoric date (NHER ref: M5169), quern and flints at Bramcote (NHER ref: L474), a stone axe hammer found at Wollaton (NHER ref: L547), Mesolithic implements at Wollaton Park (NHER ref: L862), barbed and tanged arrowhead from 24 Moor Lane, Bramcote (NHER ref: L5218), a Bronze Age socketed axe found at Wollaton (NHER ref: L7961), flints found on Stapleford Hill (NHER ref: L8785) and a quern found on Stapleford Hill (NHER ref: L8786). In addition to the dated heritage assets there are also ten further undated heritage assets comprising a map depiction of two wells (NHER ref: M651 and M661) and a fish pond (NHER ref: M657) at Bramcote, two coal shafts (NHER ref: M660 and M662), a clay pit (NHER ref: M663), an earthwork bank at Bramcote Hill (NHER ref: L577), boundary and settlement earthworks at Bramcote (NHER ref: L10051), an earthwork enclosure at Bramcote (NHER ref: L6090) and geophysical anomalies by Coventry Lane, Bramcote (NHER ref: L12165). There are two Roman period heritage assets comprising Roman pottery and clay fire bars found at Wollaton (NHER ref: M7962/L7962), and a Roman coin from Stapleford Hill (NHER ref: L5173). There are no Early Medieval heritage assets listed within a 1km radius of the proposed redevelopment site. This does not guarantee that activity from this period is absent. There is one Medieval heritage asset listed which comprises a possible park pale at the edge of Bramcote Hills Park beside Ilkeston Road (NHER ref: M576/L576). There are eleven Post-Medieval heritage assets listed including a red brick bridge in Wollaton (NHER ref: M513/L513), a colliery and brickworks at Wollaton (NHER ref: M530/L530), a documentary reference to a windmill at Bramcote (NHER ref: M595/L595), a map depiction of a smithy at Bramcote (NHER ref: M650/L650), a documentary reference to two glass furnaces at Wollaton (NHER ref: M5222/L5222), a coal mine (NHER ref: M18416) and associated elements (NHER ref: L12164/L7038), mining remains at Bramcote (NHER ref: L7038), mining remains at Trowell (NHER ref: L8856 and L7039), possible mining remains at Bramcote Moor (NHER ref: L7287), and a bell pit at Coventry Lane, Bramcote (NHER ref: L12164). The NHER lists eight Modern heritage assets consisting of Broom Hill Terrace, 139-143 Derby Road, Bramcote (NHER ref: M509/L509), Coventry Lane Bridge, Bramcote (NHER ref: M522/L522), a documentary reference to a wind pump at Beeston (NHER ref: M636/L636), a map depiction of an ice house at Bramcote (NHER ref: M658/L658), Framework Knitter’s houses on Chapel Street (NHER ref: M3026/L3026), a railway bridge at Bramcote (NHER ref: M5225/L5225), and Bramcote Hills (NHER ref: M18247/L10932) which includes Bramcote

Hills House and gardens. The majority of the buildings listed in the NHER Historic Buildings Register are Modern in date, and are a reflection of Bramcote’s expansion with the arrival of framework knitting and coal mining in the area during the 19th century. The non designated heritage assets are fully summarised in Appendix A and incorporated into the synthesis in Section 6.

4.3. Aerial Photographic Analysis

No extant earthworks were identified within the boundary of the proposed redevelopment site during the site visit. However, aerial photographs reveal a number of cropmarks both within the proposed redevelopment site and in the immediate vicinity (Figure: 10). Those within the proposed redevelopment area include possible enclosures and a rectangular feature. Those within the wider study area include mining remains, a possible relict watercourse, former field boundaries, probable footpaths, and Medieval cultivation remains. The exact nature, date and extent of these earthworks is not known.

4.4. Cartographic Analysis

Consultation of the Nottingham Archives and the Trent & Peak Archaeology Library revealed a number of historic maps that depict the proposed redevelopment site and the wider study area. A cartographic date range of 1771 to 1960 was obtained. The maps are now discussed in chronological order, where key changes are noted the maps are depicted. Enclosure map 1772 The earliest map depicting the proposed redevelopment area is the Bramcote with Stapleford Enclosure map of 1772 (Figure: 3). On this map the proposed redevelopment area is located within farm land which is allocated to a number of land owners including Joseph Stubbins, A.H Baudin, Burrows and Lane, John Trowell, Sir Henry Hunlake Bart & others, and John Sherwin whose family acquired the Bramcote estate in the first half of the 18th century. Moor Lane is depicted on this map immediately to the west of the study area and to the north of this is Bramcote Moor referred to on this map as ‘Moor Closes’. A foothpath or track, later to be known as Deddington Lane, is shown running parallel to the northern boundary of the proposed redevelopment site. In 1687 Deddington Lane is referred to as the Coale Cart Way (NRO ref: DR/1/3/2/24/1). A cluster of possible farm buildings are shown towards the western edge of this lane Chapman’s map (1774) Sanderson’s Map (1835) Bramcote Tithe Map (1846) Chapman’s map of 1774 lacks detail and no field boundaries or structures are shown within the proposed redevelopment site. A shaded area to the north of the proposed redevelopment site indicates Bramcote Moor. The church of St Michael and All Saints is indicated within the area of core settlement at Bramcote, c. 1.2km south-west of the proposed redevelopment site. Comparison of Sanderson’s map of 1835 (Figure: 4) with the Enclosure map of 1772 (Figure: 3) reveals that the proposed redevelopment site and immediate environs remains essentially unchanged by the early part of the 19th century with the exception of a few additional field boundaries and the depiction of Deddington Plantation towards the eastern extent of the site. A second area of woodland is depicted.Three structures are shown c.0.4km south-west of the proposed redevelopment site which could be interpreted as farm buildings. Within Bramcote village, settlement has expanded along Town Street, Church Street and the Nottingham to Derby Road (now the A52). The Nottingham to Derby road was turnpiked under an Act of 1758 (http://www.lentontimes.co.uk/images/gallery/derby_road/derby_rd_listener_15.htm). The Bramcote Tithe map of 1846 (Figure: 5) reveals that the proposed redevelopment area remains essentially unchanged from Sanderson’s map of 1835 (Figure: 4). However, as the Tithe Map is drawn in more detail, a footpath is depicted crossing north to south through the

proposed redevelopment site from Deddington Lane towards probable farm buildings in the south OS Map First Edition 1885, 25 inch By the time of the Ordnance Survey map 1st edition of 1885 (Figure: 6) the proposed redevelopment site remains essentially unchanged with the exception of the removal of some field boundaries. To the south of the proposed redevelopment site the small parcel of woodland previously depicted on the 1846 Tithe Map (Figure: 5) is no longer visible. A public footpath is shown to cross north-east to south-west just below the eastern edge of the proposed redevelopment site Manor Farm is indicated on this map immediately adjacent to the north-western edge of the proposed redevelopment site. When compared with the Tithe map of 1846 (Figure: 5) it would appear that farm buildings have been extended and new ones constructed. Structures previously depicted on the Tithe Map at the western and eastern end of Deddington Lane are no longer visible. OS Map 1900, 25 inch Comparison of the 1900 Ordnance Survey map (Figure: 7) with the Ordnance Survey map of 1885 (Figure: 6) reveals that the only observable change within the proposed redevelopment site is the addition of a probable field boundary orientated east to west within the central part of the site. This field boundary appears to mark out an area of furze (or gorse) land adjacent to Deddington Lane. Outside of the proposed redevelopment area at the western end of Deddington Lane structures previously depicted on the 1885 map have been removed, OS Map 1914, 25 inch By the time of the 1914 Ordnance Survey map an additional small parcel of land is depicted immediately south of Deddington Plantation. Symbols within this area indicate it was an area of mixed vegetation including bushes, furze, and rough pasture. The remainder of the proposed redevelopment site remains unchanged. OS Map 1930, 25 inch; OS map 1937, 25 inch; OS map 1944, 25 inch, OS map 1945, 25 inch, OS map 1949, 25 inch. Comparison of the 1914 Ordnance Survey map with the 1930, 1937 (Figure: 8), 1944, 1945, and 1949 Ordnance Survey maps reveal no apparent changes within the proposed redevelopment site. Beyond the proposed redevelopment site mapping from the 1930s onwards reveals the gradual increase in residential development north of Derby Road in the Bramcote Hills area. OS Map 1967, 6 inch; OS map 1973-1982 1:10,000 and OS map 1984-1991, 1:10,000 By the time of the 1967 Ordnance Survey map (Figure: 9) much of the residential development south of the proposed redevelopment area and north of Derby Road, is complete and the area is labelled ‘Bramcote Hills’. North of Deddington Lane a small amount of residential development has taken place within the vicinity of Grangewood Road in the Wollaton Vale area. Three new schools are depicted to the west of the study area and Thoresby Road can be seen partially completed adjacent to the eastern boundary of the proposed redevelopment site. Ordnance survey mapping indicates that by the early 1980s further residential development has taken place immediately north of Deddington Plantation around Rivergreen Crescent and Denewood Avenue. Residential development across the city boundary in the Wollaton Vale area has also increased.


___________________________________________________________________________________

22

By the end of the 1980s residential development in the Bramcote Hills area is complete. Ordnance Survey mapping from 1984 to 1991 shows that the Bramcote Moor area was completely redeveloped by the early 1990s. Comparison of mapping from the late 1980s with earlier mapping from the 1970s reveals that the only observable change within the boundary of the proposed redevelopment area is the removal of a field boundary sometime during the early 1980s. To summarise, cartographic analysis suggests that the proposed redevelopment site remained essentially unchanged from the time Deddington Plantation was established at the turn of the 19th century. After 1835 there is very little mapped change to the proposed redevelopment area other than the reconfiguration of field boundaries and the creation of Bramcote Hills Golf Course sometime in the 1990s.

5. SITE VISIT AND SETTING

A site visit was undertaken on the 2nd of June 2014. The proposed redevelopment site is roughly rectangular in shape and is bounded by mature trees and hedgerow. The site was formerly occupied by Bramcote Hills Golf Course. Since the closure of the golf course in 2009 the proposed redevelopment area has been unmanaged and allowed to return to rough pasture. In total the site measures roughly 7 hectares. No archaeological features (such as extant earthworks) were clearly evident within the boundary of the proposed redevelopment area, At the eastern extent of the proposed redevelopment site adjacent to Thoresby Road is the former car park and shop of the golf course.

There are no designated heritage assets with a restricted direct view to/from the proposed redevelopment area. Wollaton Hall can be seen in the far distance to the north-east of the proposed redevelopment area however, given the distance and prexisting modern vertical precedents between the proposed redevelopment site (roads, hedgerows, street lighting, woodland and modern housing) and the hall, it is very unlikely there will be any adverse impact on the setting as a result of the proposed redevelopment.

6. PERIOD SYNTHESIS AND THE HERITAGE POTENTIAL OF BRAMCOTE HILLS GOLF COURSE, BRAMCOTE, NOTTINGHAM

6.1 Prehistoric 6.1.1 No designated or non designated heritage assets of Prehistoric date are listed as being within the boundary of the proposed redevelopment site. 6.1.2 The environs of Bramcote with a number of suitable topographical locations and natural water sources were evidently a focus for prehistoric human activity. The NHER lists ten non designated Prehistoric heritage assets within a 1km radius of the centre of the proposed redevelopment site. 6.1.3 Late Palaeolithic (c.13,000-9500BC) human activity in the east midlands region appears fragmented and highly mobile. Activity of this period is usually represented by the presence of worked flints. There are no recorded remains from the Late Palaeolithic period within the proposed redevelopment area or within a 1km radius of the site. 6.1.4 During the Mesolithic period (c.9000-c.4000 BC) mobile hunter-gatherer populations were present in the region, making a living through the gathering of plant foods, fishing and the hunting of animals (Myers 2006, 52). The archaeological record of the Mesolithic period consists mainly of lithics (flints). The earliest evidence of human activity within the vicinity of the proposed redevelopment site comprises a number of Mesolithic implements found in the grounds of Wollaton Park (NHER ref: L862). 6.1.5 By the Neolithic period (c.4000-c.2500 BC), humans in the region were becoming more sedentary, living in permanent settlements and farming the land. Evidence of Neolithic activity in the region is most commonly presented in the form of cropmarks, artefact scatters and occasionally earthworks (Clay 2006, 70). There is currently no evidence to suggest Neolthic activity within the proposed redevelopment site or the immediate environs. 6.1.6 By the Late Neolithic to Bronze Age (c.2500-1500BC) and Bronze Age (c.1150-500 BC), continuing social change reflecting growing hierarchies is evidenced by the adoption of new burial practices. Ceremonial and burial areas from this period are most clearly identified through earthworks such as ring ditches and long barrows. Lithics continue to form a significant part of the archaeological record for this period alongside metal work and pottery. There are no known Late Neolithic finds recorded within the proposed redevelopment site or within a 1km radius of the centre of it. However, the NHER lists five probable Bronze Age heritage assets within a 1km radius of the site including the possible site of a Bronze Age barrow (NHER ref: M645), pottery and pit at Bramcote (NHER ref: L645), a truncated beehive quern and Bronze Age flints (NHER ref: L474), a stone axe hammer found at Wollaton (NHER ref: L547), a barbed and tanged arrowhead found in the garden of 24 Moor Lane Bramcote (NHER ref: L5218), and flints of probable Bronze Age date from Stapleford Hill (NHER ref: L8785). 6.1.7 By the Iron Age (c.500BC- 43 AD) a much wider variety and types of settlement evidence are present in the region. Cultural developments and rapid social change during this period generated a diverse archaeological record consisting of material culture and settlement remains. There is currently no evidence to suggest that activity of this period will be encountered within the proposed redevelopment area. 6.1.8 Ten heritage assets of unknown date are recorded in the NHER within a 1km radius of the proposed redevelopment site. These include settlement earthworks, enclosures and banks which could be Prehistoric in date. This is especially likely given the number of known Prehistoric heritage assets within the locality. 6.1.9 Examination of aerial photographs reveals a number of potential features within the boundary of the proposed redevelopment site including possible enclosures and a rectangular feature. The nature, extent and significance of these features is presently unknown but may represent activity of Prehistoric date.


___________________________________________________________________________________

31

6.1.5 On the basis of the existing evidence within the vicinity of the proposed redevelopment site, there is certainly some potential for Prehistoric surface and sub-surface remains to be present at the proposed redevelopment site. 6.2 Romano-British

6.2.1 The Romans conquered the midlands of Britain in AD 48 and brought great influence on settlement types and material culture use of the indigenous British population. No heritage assets from the Roman period are currently recorded within the boundary of the proposed redevelopment site. However, two Roman period heritage assets are recorded within a 1km radius of the site comprising Roman pottery and clay fire bars found at Wollaton (NHER ref: M7962/L7962), and a Roman coin from Stapleford Hill (NHER ref: L5173). 6.2.2 On the basis of the existing evidence, there is some potential for the discovery of sub-surface (or surface finds) from the Romano-British period within the proposed redevelopment site, particularly in light of crop marks visible in aerial photographs of the site. The nature, extent and significance of these features is presently unknown but may representative of Roman activity. 6.3 Early Medieval (410-1066 AD) 6.3.1 There are no Early Medieval heritage assets listed within the boundary of the proposed redevelopment site or within a 1km radius of the site. 6.3.2 Following the Roman period there appears to be a cessation of concentrated settlement activity within the vicinity of the study area. Nevertheless, the first known record of Bramcote is just prior to the Norman conquest when it was divided in to four manors held by Ulchel, Godric, Alvric and Levric (Lawton 182, 1). There were also 6 bovates of sokeland in Bramcote which were allotted to the king’s manor of Arnold (Williams & Martin 2003, 760), and a further 6 bovates of wasteland within the manor of Wollaton (ibid, 772). 6.3.3 The place name Bramcote is thought to originate in the Early Medieval period. In the Domesday survey of 1086 Bramcote is recorded as Brunecote and Bruncote, meaning cottages in the broom (Gover, Mawer and Stenton 1940, 140-141). The Domesday Survey records Bramcote as lying within the Wapentake of Broxtowe. The place name Broxtowe consists of two elements; the Old English personal name Brocwulf and stow, meaning place or locality, thus the place of Brocwulf. 6.3.4 Evidently there was some form of settlement at Bramcote during the Early Medieval period therefore the presence of Early Medieval sub-surface and surface remains within the redevelopment site cannot be ruled out entirely. 6.4 Late Anglo-Saxon and Medieval 6.4.1 No Late Anglo-Saxon or Medieval heritage assets are currently recorded within the boundary of the proposed redevelopment site. 6.4.2 The Domesday Survey records that after the Norman Conquest the four manors of Bramcote were consolidated in to one manor with the majority of land passed to William Hostiarius, ‘the Usher’ (Lawton 1982, 1). The survey suggests that at this time Bramcote was a relatively small settlement with a total of five households consisting of four villagers and one small holder, and land for one and a half ploughs (Williams & Martin 2003, 780) 6.4.3 The exact nature of land ownership in Bramcote during the latter part of the 11th century is unclear but during the 12th century the main landowner in the parish was Sempringham Priory (Lawton 1982,1). The Willoughbys of Wollaton also held lands in Bramcote at this time. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538 the Bramcote estate lay in the hands of a number of local families. These include Charles Jackson and William Mason who were granted Sempringham Priory land sometime in the early 1560s, and the

Hanley family who acquired the estate around 1565 and held the manor until 1650 (http://www.bramcotehistory.org.uk/history.html). 6.4.4 The NMR records one designated Medieval heritage asset within a 1km radius of the proposed redevelopment area, this is the Grade II 14th century church tower of St Michael and All Angels located within the historic core of Bramcote (NMR ref: 1247920). Construction of the church is thought to have begun in 13th century with various additions being made throughout the 14th century. The existing church of St Michael was built in 1862. 6.4.4 The NHER lists one non designated Medieval heritage asset within a 1km radius of the proposed redevelopment site, which comprises a possible park pale at the edge of Bramcote Hills Park beside Ilkeston Road (NHER ref: M576/L576). In addition, the NHER lists a number of undated heritage assets that could be Medieval in origin within the 1km radius including a fish pond, a smithy, two wells, an ice house, two coal shafts and a clay pit, all of which are currently known to exist in documentary form only. 6.4.5 The first known written reference to Bramcote Hills and Moor occurs in 1480 in a report on the Manuscripts of Lord Middleton at Wollaton Hall (Gover, Mawer and Stenton 1940, 141). There is little documentary evidence to indicate the nature of activity in and around the Bramcote Hills and Moor area during the Medieval period, however, there is cartographic evidence to suggest probable agricultural activity at this time in the form of the long narrow strips of land associated with the Medieval open-field system. Ridge and furrow earthworks (formed as a result of open field strip farming) are visible in aerial photographs and can be seen in fields immediately north of the proposed redevelopment area at the eastern end of Deddington Lane (Figure: 10). No extant earthworks were observed during the site visit, however, this could be a result of poor visibility due to vegetation or that they have been ploughed out by modern farming. 6.4.7 On the basis of this evidence there is potential for there to be Medieval surface and sub-surface remains relating primarily to cultivation at the proposed redevelopment site. 6.5 Post-Medieval and Modern 6.5.1 No designated or non designated heritage assets are currently recorded within the boundary of the proposed redevelopment site. 6.5.2 The manor of Bramcote was under the ownership of the Hanley family from around 1564 until 1650 (Ashworth 1992, 19). Henry Hanley is thought to have commissioned the construction of a manor house at Bramcote sometime at the beginning of the 17th century (Lawton 1982, 1). The Manor house is a Grade II* listed building that lies just outside the 1km search radius, located approximately 1.5km south-west of the proposed redevelopment area. After Henry Hanley’s death in 1650, Bramcote estate was bought by John Sherwin and the Longdens (Lawton 1982, 1) who held the estate for over 280 years (Ashworth 1992, 19). The Sherwins (and related family members the Longdens) lived at the old manor house until 1805 when John Sherwin moved in to his new residence, Bramcote Hills House (NHER ref: M18247). 6.5.3 Throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, agriculture was the main occupation in Bramcote alongside a few miners employed at the Willoughby’s coal mine on Bramcote Moor (Ashworth 1992, 8). Thoroton writing in 1667suggested that there were between 40 or 50 dwellings in Bramcote (ibid, 8). 6.5.4 Much of Bramcote’s Post-Medieval heritage is connected with the introduction of framework knitting in the 18th century and a number of historic buildings in the village are associated with the industry including Broom Hill Terrace (NMR ref: 1248089), a Grade II former lacemaker’s cottage.

6.5.5 White’s Directory of 1864 records 161 houses and 691 inhabitants in Bramcote including seven framework knitters and eight bobbin net makers. Bramcote is described as ‘one of the most delightful villages in the whole county, seated upon several lofty hills’ (White’s Directory of Nottinghamshire 1864, 611). This pleasant location attracted a number of Nottingham’s prominent business men to the area who lived in ‘several handsome mansions’ (ibid, 611). By the end of the 19th century Bramcote had become a popular residential area and the village had expanded considerably. Many of the local interest buildings listed in the historic buildings register date from this period (Appendix A). Bramcote Hills is described as the ‘sylan seat of John Sherwin Gregory Esq., beautifully surrounded with shrubberies and verdant lawns’ (White’s Directory of Nottinghamshire 1864, 612). The NHER records Bramcote Hills Park as a historic park and garden which was first noted on Sanderson’s map of 1835. In 1862, John Sherwin Gregory’s brother in law Henry Holden acquired Bramcote Hills House (NHER ref: M18247) and estate and they remained in the family’s ownership until the 1940s when they sold the land to the County Council as school grounds and to the Urban District Council as a public park (Lawton 1982, 1). The house was demolished in 1966 but recently part of the building’s footprint has been restored. Bramcote Moor is listed as a former colliery worked by Lord Middleton. Possible former mining remains can be seen in aerial photographs c. 0.36km north-west of the study area. It is stated that Bramcote Moor Close (immediately north of the proposed redevelopment area) was ‘purchased for the poor’ and let for 25 shillings a year (White’s Directory of Nottinghamshire 1864, 612). 6.5.6 Cartographic analysis suggests that the proposed redevelopment site remained essentially unchanged from the time of Enclosure in 1771 until the 1960s. First edition Ordnance Survey maps from 1885 show some re configuration of field boundaries within the proposed redevelopment area when compared to earlier maps, but these remain unchanged until residential development took place immediately south of the study area in the 1960s. The most recent observable change to have occurred within the boundary of the proposed redevelopment site was the creation of Bramcote Hills golf course sometime in the 1990s. 6.5.7 In light of existing evidence it is possible that sub-surface remains relating to Post Medieval agricultural activity may be encountered within the proposed redevelopment site. These remains are most likely to consist of former field boundaries.

7. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 Statement of Potential

6.1.1 Examination of aerial photographs has revealed cropmarks within the area of proposed redevelopment. The date, nature and extent of these features is currently unknown. However, in light of the considerable evidence for Prehistoric activity within a 1km radius of the proposed redevelopment site there is significant potential for Prehistoric to Roman sub-surface and surface remains within the area of proposed redevelopment. 6.1.2 Areas of ridge and furrow evident from aerial photographs suggest there is potential for there to be sub-surface remains relating to later medieval cultivation, providing they have not been ploughed out by modern farming. 6.1.3 Examination of aerial photographs and Ordnance Survey maps suggests that sub-surface remains relating to Post- Medieval field boundaries and a footpath may be encountered within the proposed redevelopment site. 6.2 Statement of significance 6.2.1 Any buried archaeological remains identified beneath the proposed redevelopment area, would offer an opportunity to address research priorities highlighted in the recent East Midlands Updated Research Agenda and Strategy (Knight, Vyner and Allen 2012), 6.2.2 The recovery of Prehistoric or Roman period remains would represent a find of local or regional significance. The significance of the discovery would depend on the coherence of the remains that were recovered and whether the significance of any remains had been reduced by later truncation. 6.2.3 On the basis of this desk-based assessment, it is suggested that the identification of Medieval (or Post-Medieval) cultivation remains such as ridge and furrow would be of local significance. The recovery of Post-Medieval field boundaries would represent finds of local significance only. 6.3 Potential Impacts on Significance 6.3.1 The proposed development, comprising reduced level excavation for housing plots and associated drainage/landscaping, has the potential to impact adversely on sub-surface archaeological deposits if they remain 6.4 Recommendations 6.4.1 To clarify below ground remains, in line with national and local policy, Nottinghamshire County may require a scheme of on-site evaluation to establish the extent, nature and importance of the potential asset’s significance. 6.4.2 Not all areas within the site may be subject to sub-surface impact. This may be demonstrated through a scheme of geophysics/trial trenching.
