Site Event/Activity record ECH6460 - Land at Heathfield Farm, Wilmslow, Cheshire: Cultural Heritage and Archaeological Desk-based Assessment

Cultural Heritage and Archaeological Desk Based Assessment for a site located to the east of Wilmslow, Cheshire, to the south of Dean Row Road (centred on NGR SJ 86524 81969). The assessment was undertaken in order to inform a full planning application for residential development. The proposed development comprises erection of 161 dwellings, associated access, drainage, and the provision of public open space and landscaping. The assessment has revealed that the proposed development site has largely remained undeveloped throughout the post medieval period. However, two buildings, titled Yew Farm, are shown on the Tithe Map of 1841 in the north part of the site. This historic farmstead, which is a non-designated heritage asset, is considered to be of local significance and of archaeological interest. (1)
