Heritage Statement Land at Dunblane Road / Well Hall Road Eltham London SE9 6RX

Border Archaeology (BA) was instructed by A & E Elkins on behalf of RBG Housing to undertake a Heritage Statement (HS) with regard to a proposed social housing development of 20 apartments located off Dunblane Road and Well Hall Road, Eltham, London SE9 6RX (fig. 1). The proposed development comprises 20 new dwellings, consisting solely of social rent apartments of mixed size and occupancy, including 2 wheelchair accessible apartments, rising to between 3-4 storeys in height. It will also have a combination of private and shared external amenity/play space, hard and soft landscaped areas, and a total of eight parking bays, two of which will be wheelchair accessible. Please note that due to travel restrictions as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, it has not been possible to undertake a detailed site visit as per usual practices. BA has endeavoured to use its experience in accessing alternative sources and methodologies to provide the relevant information and will look to carry out subsequent site visits at a later date once restrictions have lifted and if appropriate and so required. The overall significance of impact of the proposed development on nearby designated and undesignated heritage assets can be assessed, based on the available information, as being Slight and positive. In view of the minor and largely positive impacts the proposed scheme will have on the site and nearby heritage assets, no further built heritage mitigation work is recommended in connection with the proposed application.
