Abstract:		 Planning application PA11/09829 was submitted on the 23rd November 2011 for the installation of two 50kw Endurance wind turbines mounted on 36m high monopole masts on 6m x 6m concrete bases, each having three 9.6m radius blades, together with cabling. A brief for site investigation was prepared by the Historic Environment Planning Advice Officer (East), Cornwall Council, and HE Projects was commissioned to carry out an assessment of the potential impacts of this proposal on 1st May 2012. Geophysical survey of the area surrounding the location proposed for the wind turbine and along the route for its cables was commissioned from GSB Prospecting. The site chosen for the wind turbines lies in an area of former medieval farmland on a north western facing slope overlooking the valley of the River Allen, to the south west of Polshea Farm in the parish of St. Tudy. The assessment consisted of a desk-based assessment, viewshed analysis, a geophysical survey and a walkover survey. The geophysics revealed the potential for the development to negatively affect sub-surface archaeology within the site. The other aspects of the assessment did not suggest that the development was likely to produce any significant negative impacts on heritage assets within the site or in its surroundings.
