Abstract:		 Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council, were approached by Sarah Chapple for Soltys Brewster in December 2013 with a request to provide costs for the provision of an archaeological assessment for a parcel of land at Newton Ferrers, to the south of Callington, in preparation for an application for planning consent. The proposal (PA13/03359) is for a solar farm which would extend over an area of 30 hectares in the parish of St. Mellion, centred at 1.7km from the St.Mellion Golf Course. The site consists of land that has been a part of the Newton Ferrers estate since at least the seventeenth century. The assessment consisted of a desk-based assessment using historic paper maps and maps and information layers on GIS; a viewshed analysis out to 3km from the site plus selected references to significant designated and other areas beyond that; a walkover field survey of the site itself and visits to selected sites within the 3km radius to check inter-site visibility. It was found that despite the height of parts of the site, open visibility on to and off of the site was severely restricted by a combination of woods, wooded strands and plantations, semi-ornamental tree planting, densely vegetated boundaries and the extreme variation in local and wider contour levels. The specific topography of the local landscape greatly restricted the ZTV for the site. In addition, the local landscape contains very few designated sites. No significant setting impacts were identified during the assessment, viewshed analysis or fieldwork.
