INTRODUCTION 1.1. In May 2020, Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological evaluation (of land) at 199-207 Henley Road, Caversham, Berkshire (centred at NGR: 473017 175198; Fig. 1). This evaluation was undertaken for RPS Consulting Services Limited. 1.2. The evaluation results will inform a planning application for residential development on the site, which has been made to Reading Borough Council (ref: 180418). 1.3. The scope of this evaluation was defined by Roland Smith (Berkshire County Archaeologist), the archaeological advisor to RBC. The evaluation was carried out in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) prepared by CA (2019) and approved by Roland Smith. 1.4. The evaluation was also undertaken in line with Standard and guidance for archaeological field evaluation (CIfA 2014), Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment (MoRPHE) PPN 3: Archaeological Excavation (Historic England 2015) and Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment: The MoRPHE Project Managers' Guide (Historic England 2015). The site 1.5. The proposed development area is approximately 1.08ha and comprises the brownfield site of 199-203 Henley Road residential buildings and their associated garden space with part of the garden space from residential properties 205-207 included in the site area. It is bounded by Henley Road to the north and Berry Brook to the south. To the east and west of the site are residential properties. The study site slopes from North to South from 46m above Ordnance Datum (aOD) to c. 36m (aOD). 1.6. The results of a ground investigation (Carter 2018) revealed a ground profile comprising Topsoil up to 0.40mbgl; overlying cohesive Head deposits up to 2.80mbgl; overlying undifferentiated deposits of the Seaford Chalk Formation and Newhaven Chalk Formation to the base of the borehole at 20mbgl. 1 © Cotswold Archaeology 199-207 Henley Road, Caversham, Berkshire: Written Scheme of Investigation for an Archaeological Evaluation 2. ARCHAEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND 2.1 The archaeological background is drawn from the CgMs (2019) desk-based assessment which focused on a 1.25km radius of the site. Prehistoric (500,000 BC – AD43) 2.2 Palaeolithic tools are associated with an ancient channel of the Thames running northeast through the central area of Caversham parish (Wymer 1999) and a number of undated palaeo-channels have been found as close as 200m to the site. 2.3 Adjacent to the site a Lower Palaeolithic pointed an Acheulian hand axe was found. However, this has a general location reference, and therefore should be noted to be in the general area. 2.4 A Mesolithic grove was found approximately 1,100m southwest of the site. 2.5 A Neolithic knife and flakes are recorded from 22 Grosvenor Road approximately 1km northwest of the study site, and Neolithic axe fragment is recorded approximately 1km west of the site. 2.6 To the immediate west of the site, an evaluation on land rear 98-102 Lower Henley Road and 177-197 Henley Road, Caversham revealed several undiagnostic flint flakes and twelve sherds of Late Bronze Age pottery. A post-medieval pit also contained one residual sherd of grog tempered pottery of Late Iron Age/early Roman date. 2.7 Approximately 700m west of the study site, the base of an Iron Age colander pot was found to the east of Bar Close Avenue. 2.8 A Late Iron Age and early Roman pottery assemblage is recorded from Caversham Hill approximately 1.1km northwest of the site, and a further pottery assemblage is recorded from ‘Suttons Pit’ quarry on the periphery of the study area. 2.9 The study site was thought to have a low to moderate archaeological potential for the Palaeolithic Period and is considered to have a moderate potential for the later Prehistoric periods. 2 © Cotswold Archaeology 199-207 Henley Road, Caversham, Berkshire: Written Scheme of Investigation for an Archaeological Evaluation Roman (AD43 – AD 410) 2.10 Roman finds have been widespread, including numerous coins and pieces of pottery. As such an assemblage of Late Roman coins (House of Constantine), is recorded from Caversham Hill approximately 1.1km northwest of the site; In 1924, approximately 400m northwest of the site, a first-century cremation group was discovered at the Henley Road cemetery, and almost entire pots recovered from nearby All Hallows Road. Approximately 400m south of the site, four sherds of Roman pottery were recovered; 750m west of the study site, Romano-British pottery was recovered from Henley Road; a Follis of Constantine I was found in the garden of a house on Briants Avenue approximately 750m southwest of the site; a large piece of Roman mosaic was found in spoil during road works at the Marina approximately 750m east of the site; a Roman open lamp tray was found in the River Thames at Reading, approximately 1km southwest of the site; a third-fourth century Roman spoon was found at South View Avenue, approximately 1km west of the site and finally, approximately 1km to the south of the site, a Roman occupation site, close to Dean’s Farm is indicated by two timber-lined wells, one containing fourth century pottery and possibly ritually deposited objects (Booth et al, 2007). 2.11 The study site was thought to have a moderate archaeological potential for the Roman period. Saxon and Early Medieval (AD 410 - 1066) 2.12 Evidence of Saxon activity is limited in the immediate vicinity of the site, though much has been found in Reading. The place name Caversham (meaning ‘Cāfhere’s homestead

  • ID No Comment
    M3: General comments on minerals strategy ID No Comment 441 (Defence Infrastructure It is evident from Background Paper No 3 that MOD safeguarding interests are clearly identified within the draft plan. Organisation) Chapter 5 outlines the potential birdstrike risk associated with restoration schemes within an MOD safeguarding consultation zone and acknowledges that mitigation will be necessary to reduce the birdstrike risk. I can therefore confirm that the MOD has no objections to the draft plan however it is crucial that the MOD is invited to comment further once specific sites have been allocated to ensure that the birdstrike risk is appropriately addressed. 168 (PAGE) Policy M3: Strategy for the location of mineral working 6. The identification of the new area of working at Cholsey is broadly supported as the southern site to replace Sutton Courtenay when supplies expire around 2020. Cholsey is closest to the demand nodes and has limited risk of flooding. Continued extraction is supported at the existing areas of working (the Lower Windrush Valley, Eynsham/Cassington/Yarnton, Sutton Courtenay, and Caversham). These sites can provide sufficient resources to meet the above supply requirements and are well located to the principal centres of demand - i.e. where significant housing development is proposed - at Oxford, Witney, Didcot and Wantage & Grove. In addition they are well located to the strategic transport network to access centres of demand in the north of the County at Banbury and Bicester. 7. Notwithstanding this broad support, the policy as drafted is objected to: the wording should be amended so as not to necessarily restrict working at the reserves at the Lower Windrush Valley, and at Eynsham/Cassington/Yarnton.

The project was commissioned by Mr Paul Browne, of Mott MacDonald, Demeter House, Station Road, Cambridge, CB1 2RS. This report comprises the first stage of a process to determine the presence/absence, extent, character, quality and date of any archaeological remains that may be affected by redevelopment of the area. Site description, location and geology A site visit was made on 8th July, 2002, in order to determine the current land use on the site. The Caversham Lakes site comprises approximately 250ha, and is bounded to the south by the northern bank of the River Thames, and to the north by Henley Road. Access onto the site is via Marsh Lane, from Henley Road. The site comprises an irregular shaped parcel of land occupied by several large lakes, occupying the sites of former gravel quarries, a marina, open space and one active gravel working.

    COMMITTEE REPORT BY THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND NEIGHBOURHOOD SERVICES READING BOROUGH COUNCIL PLANNING APPLICATIONS COMMITTEE: 31 MARCH 2021 Ward: Out of Borough App No.: 210237 (SODC ref. P/20/S3501/FUL) Address: North Lake, Caversham Lakes, Henley Road Proposal: Change of use of an established lake for recreation and sports purposes Applicant: Cosmonaut Leisure Ltd. Date received: valid by SODC on 21 September 2020 Application target date: SODC target date: 4 May 2021 RECOMMENDATION: That South Oxfordshire District Council (SODC) be informed that Reading Borough Council raises an OBJECTION to the proposal on the following transport grounds: 1. Insufficient information has been submitted with the planning application to enable the highways, traffic and transportation implications of the proposed development to be fully assessed. From the information submitted, it is considered that the additional traffic likely to be generated by the proposal would adversely affect the safety and flow of users of the existing road network within Reading, contrary to Policies TRANS4 and TRANS5 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035; 2. The proposed development does not comply with the Local Planning Authority’s standards in respect of pedestrian facilities and, as a result, is in conflict with South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2035 Policies TRANS2 and TRANS5; and 3. That SODC is sent a copy of this report for their information and use. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Council has been notified of an application within the adjacent authority area (within South Oxfordshire District) which directly adjoins the Borough boundary in the eastern extremity of Caversham (Emmer Green ward). The site currently has an undeveloped appearance and was formerly a gravel extraction pit, which ceased operation approximately ten years ago.
