| Nigel, Thank you. You raise some very important issues. I had the same thoughts as you while looking at the clearance of the site to the south of Morrisons. I believe that Barlow rails are, or were, incorporated into the base of the fence at northern end of Dock Road. The rails should certainly be retained, perhaps in a museum, as part of our industrial heritage. I would hope that the most stringent archaeological conditions have been attached, and are being enforced, to the development of the entire site south of Brentford High Street. Evidence of activity within the Prehistoric, Roman, Saxon, medieval and post -medieval periods have previously been found within the larger site to the south of Brentford High Street. English Heritage Archaeology raised concerns with the scheme given the significant evidence of archaeological remains from a number of eras. Hounslow were to be in discussion with them to establish a range of conditions and protection measures that would ensure work is carried out sensitively and any remains identified and found are dealt with appropriately. The planning history of the site south of Brentford High Street is difficult to follow. However the report to Hounslow Planning Committee on 27th November 2014 stated that: “…the development also offers the opportunity to have a beneficial effect by providing a greater understanding of the archaeology and history of Brentford. For this to be achieved a suitable scheme of mitigation would be secured by safeguarding condition. The impact of the proposed scheme upon possible buried heritage assets could be mitigated by two stages of investigation. An initial programme of geo-archaeological boreholes dug in advance of construction would be required by safeguarding condition and in consultation with English Heritage. If areas of archaeological potential are then identified, this could lead to a second stage comprising targeted archaeological evaluation trenches in order to clarify the nature, date, extent, and significance of any buried heritage assets that might be present. A safeguarding condition will ensure that these mitigation methods are implemented and therefore it is considered that the application is policy compliant.” It would be nice to trust that an adequate programme for archaeological investigations is in place. However I haven’t been able to find any recent references to such measures and I think that this is one of those cases where clear answers are needed to direct questions to Hounslow and to the developers …. before it’s too late. I would be happy to draft an email to local councillors and to the Director of Planning. What do you think? Happy New Year! |
