  • Upper Palaeolithic & Mesolithic Buckinghamshire
    Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Buckinghamshire c 38,000-4000 BC Michael Farley February 2008 Introduction Archaeological investigations in Buckinghamshire have to date had little impact nationally on understanding of the Upper Palaeolithic or Mesolithic. Such evidence as there is comes principally from sites associated with watercourses. There has been one preliminary investigation of a late Upper Palaeolithic site and only a few relatively small-scale investigations on sites of Mesolithic date. Not surprisingly the principal artefactual material recovered has been flint and there are fewer instances where organic materials have been either retrieved or investigated for environmental evidence. In view of the paucity of identified Upper Palaeolithic material, unless specifically stated all of the comments which follow refer to finds of Mesolithic date. Owing to the relatively limited amount of research work undertaken on these periods in the county, it has seemed most convenient to describe discoveries sequentially in order of discovery so that it is apparent how study of the period has developed in the county, and then to provide brief conclusions. The sequence of discoveries In 1955 Jack Head published a survey of Chilterns archaeology. Apart from a few individual Mesolithic finds, he could only muster two ‘sites’ of the period; an early description by Peake (1917) of surface finds (apparently) on land at Kimble Farm, Turville close to the Oxfordshire border and the work of Lacaille at Iver. Had his survey included the whole of the county he would have found no other investigated sites at that date despite the fact that the County Museum-based record of archaeological finds (later to become the basis of the County Sites and Monuments Record) to which Head would probably have referred, had begun to take formal shape as early as the 1930s, so in that respect Buckinghamshire’s record of archaeological finds and investigations was at that time potentially more comprehensive than was the case in many other counties.

  • Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment Single Detached
    Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment For Single Detached Dwelling , Finings Road, Bolter End, Buckinghamshire Document 756 LVIA Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment Introduction This assessment will not follow in detail the Landscape and Visual Guidelines (3rd Edition) as the content is not relevant in its entirety for a development of this size. It will review the potential impact of the proposed development visually and in terms of the landscape character. Whilst assessing the landscape and visual impact, the study will not make any assessments on scale, magnitude of effect, reversibility and other factors concerned with the degree of these effects. It will, however, set out the Zone of Visual Influence which indicates the limits of the area over which there is a visual or landscape impact on people, living, working, walking or driving within the local area from the proposed development. The assessment was undertaken by the applicants who are retired landscape architects, former members of the Landscape Institute and with more than thirty years’ experience of undertaking such assessments. Methodology The site was surveyed on the weekend of 10/11th October 2020 in bright, clear conditions. The survey assessed the visibility of the site and the dwelling which might be observable from the road and footpath network and from adjacent dwellings and commercial enterprises. It seeks to assess the landscape character based on the broad characteristics set out in the ‘Wycombe Landscape Character Assessment’ 2011 prepared by Land Use Consultants. Local Landscape Character The Wycombe Landscape Character Assessment placed the landscape which surrounds the proposed development into LCA 16.1 Stokenchurch Settled Plateau.
