Abstract: |
Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council, was approached in January 2013 by Capture Energy Ltd with a request to provide costs for an archaeological assessment of a proposed single 24m to hub height (34.4m to blade tip) wind turbine. The turbine is proposed for land at Rowland's Corner, Egloskerry, located between Launceston to the east and Camelford to the west at SX 25817 86871. The site is located in an undulating rural area of east Cornwall near Tresmeer and Tregeare, in ground combining altered medieval and post-medieval Anciently Enclosed Land and Upland Rough Ground. There are a number of Listed Buildings and Scheduled Monuments in the vicinity, as well as non-designated sites noted within the HER. Tregeare House and village, along with Penheale Manor and associated structures plus its designated Park and Garden both lie within 3km of the site. Egloskerry Church is clearly intervisible with the proposed site and the probable visual impact has been graded as negative/moderate. Lying 250m west of the site is Tregeare Camp, which incorporates a number of Scheduled elements dating to the prehistoric to post-medieval periods. Tregeare Camp will be clearly intervisible with the site and the potential visible impact has been graded as negative/significant. Most other site impacts have been identified as neutral to negative/minor. The assessment report consisted of a desk-based assessment, a viewshed analysis (out to a maximum of 10km) and a walkover survey. |
