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) at Heane Farm, Hatherleigh, Devon, in advance of the construction of a single (77m to tip) wind turbine. The proposed turbine would be installed on land that in 1840 belonged to a small tenement called Southern Towns, within what was once a medieval common open field system. This was probably originally associated with the medieval Manor of Pulworthy. In terms of the wider landscape, the site is located on a south-facing slope, below the summit of a broad mass of rolling hills orientated north-east to south-west. This landscape is gently undulating and well-wooded; tall vertical element would be highly visible, but local blocking would be an important factor. The overall impact of the proposed turbine can be assessed as negative/minor to negative/moderate, on the basis that most of the heritage assets affected do not derive their significance primarily from setting. |
