archaeological value

1 story · 1 council

Wandsworth Council is currently discussing the archaeological value of a site for a proposed housing development.

In January 2026, the Wandsworth Conservation and Heritage Advisory Committee raised archaeological concerns regarding a proposed housing development at 2-28 Bickley Street. The committee stressed the need for further investigation into the site's archaeological value, which is the significance of a site in terms of its historical importance, before construction could begin.

The development plans involve erecting three two-storey dwellings, along with associated bin stores, cycle parking, and landscaping. Members of the committee questioned whether the site was located within an archaeological priority area during their discussion on January 8, 2026.
