Abstract: |
The proposed turbine would be installed on land that now belongs to the 20th century Trude Farm; located approximately 1km to the west of the village of Goodleigh, on a north facing slope above the River Yeo. This HVIA has considered one Grade II* Listed Church together with a group of nine Grade II Listed buildings, which all fall within the Goodleigh Conservation Area. 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 landscape context of many of the buildings considered is such that they would be partly or wholly insulated from the effects of the proposed turbine by local blocking. However, the presence of a new, modern and visually intrusive vertical element in the landscape would impinge in some way, primarily on views of the conservation area (negative/minor to negative/moderate), and have a more pronounced impact on the Grade II* Listed Church (negative/moderate). Cumulative and aggregate impacts are not currently major issues for this site. With this in mind, the overall impact of the proposed turbine can be assessed as negative/minor to negative/moderate, largely due to the introduction of a new visual element in a relatively sensitive historic rural environment and landscape. The impact of the development on any buried archaeological resource would be permanent/irreversible. |
