Environmental Impact Assessment possibly by RWE power, Tilbury C power station, Tilbury, Thurrock, 2010 - EEX62824

There were a number of archaeological sites and features recorded within the proposed application site boundary. The Essex Historic Environment Record (HER) included the discovery of Palaeolithic and Neolithic artefacts, a Roman settlement and pottery scatters, a medieval sea wall, possible medieval oyster beds and post- medieval buildings. The region had a strong industrial heritage, in the Borough of Thurrock, particularly in the field of power generation. The Tilbury site celebrated 50 years of power generation in 2006. The potential impacts to archaeology and built heritage from the proposed CCGT station and associated gas pipeline was to be assessed. The assessment would consider the existing layout (Tilbury B) and the final layout (Tilbury B and Tilbury C). The assessment would also consider construction lay down areas. Mitigation measures to reduce impacts would be proposed where necessary.
