Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an historic visual impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Winsham Cross, Braunton, Devon in advance of the construction of two 46m to tip wind turbines. The proposed turbines would be located in two fields formerly belonging to the Manor of Winsham, which is listed in the Domesday Book. The location is on an east-west orientated broad ridge within a largely open landscape. Most of the designated heritage assets in the wider area are located at such a distance to minimise the impact of the proposed turbine, or else the contribution of setting to overall significance is less important than other factors. The presence of a new, modern and visually intrusive vertical element in the landscape would impinge in a minor way on some of these heritage assets, with a more pronounced impact on the Church of Holy Trinity; Ash Barton; and Buckland Manor (negative/moderate). The assets of Beer Mill; Higher Winsham Cottage and Higher Winsham Farm will be the most seriously impacted (negative/moderate to negative/substantial or negative/substantial). There is also a cumulative impact, although given the scale of the Fullabrook Down Windfarm, this only applies for a small number of assets, and more generally to the landscape character, given that is largely open and simple. With this in mind, the overall impact of the proposed turbine can be assessed as negative/minor to negative/moderate. The impact of the development on the buried archaeological resource will be permanent/irreversible.
