Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a desk-based assessment, walkover survey and visual impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Tregarth Farm, Camelford, Cornwall, in advance of the replacement of a single 10kW wind turbine with a 300kW model. The proposed turbine would be located within Anciently Enclosed Land (AEL) north of Camelford and on the northern edge of Lanteglos parish. The fields formed part of the medieval hamlet of Tregarth, and were part of a charitable bequest made in 1679 for a school in Camelford. The walkover surveys failed to identify any features of particular interest within the field in question, but the discovery of a late Iron Age site at Camelford School would suggest Prehistoric and Romano-British remains would not be unexpected. In terms of the wider landscape, the proposed turbine is to be located on the upper slopes of the Camel river valley, which forms part of the Delabole Plateau Character Area. This is a relatively subdue, rolling landscape that already features a number of operational wind turbines, so cumulative impact is an issue. However, as this is a replacement turbine the overall impact of the proposed turbine can be assessed as negative/minor. |
