Abstract: |
the results of a desk-based assessment, walkover survey and visual impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Newhall Manor Farm, St Teath, Cornwall, in advance of the construction of a single wind turbine. The proposed turbine would be located in a field enclosed by 1695 from open downland. Newhall Manor Farm was probably established during the high medieval period, and belonged in the later medieval and post-medieval period to the Agar-Robartes of Lanhydrock. The geophysical survey undertaken was inconclusive, but may indicate the presence of archaeological features, potentially even a substantial enclosure, but this is far from certain. In general terms, there is a fairly large number of Listed Buildings (mostly Grade II) but few Scheduled Monuments, and most of these are located at such a distance, or in such a location, as to minimise the impact of the proposed turbine. Most of the designated heritage assets identified in this survey will not be affected to any great extent; for only two - the Church of St Adwen and Helsbury Castle - will the impact be more pronounced (negative/moderate). Most of the buildings and monuments are insulated from its effects by a combination of local blocking, topography and (seasonally variable) vegetation. With this in mind, the overall impact of the proposed turbine can be assessed as negative/minor to negative/moderate, largely on the basis that the impact of this turbine decreases markedly above 5km. |
