archaeological priority area
Wandsworth Council is currently discussing archaeological concerns delaying a housing development at Bickley Street.
In January 2026, the Wandsworth Conservation and Heritage Advisory Committee stressed the need for further archaeological investigation at a proposed housing development site rear of 2-28 Bickley Street, SW17 9NF. The committee questioned whether the site was located within an archaeological priority area, delaying plans for three two-storey dwellings.
Archaeological priority areas are designated geographical zones with a high likelihood of containing significant archaeological remains, requiring careful consideration for new developments. No further meetings or decisions on this specific site have been announced.
