Abstract:
South West Archaeology Ltd. was asked to undertake a desk-based assessment, walkover survey and historic visual impact assessment on land at Monkey Tree Campsite, Perranzubaloe, Cornwall , in advance of a planning application for the construction of a 500kW (77m to tip )wind turbine. The proposed turbine would be installed on formerly open common land, which was historically part of the manor of Tywarnhayle, a place-name meaning 'house on the salt river/estuary'. The land was enclosed in the second half of the 19th century. During the Second World War a radio station was built in the south-east corner of the site with the eastern half of the site being developed as a compound. In the late 1990's the land was purchased by the current owner and the concrete bunker of the radio station was buied and landscaped (for health and safety reasons). The compound wall enclosures surrounding the radi station were subsequently removed and the area was generally landscaped to facilitate camping activity allied to the Monkey Tree Holiday Park. Most of the designated heritage assets identified and assessed 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 these buildings and monuments is such that they would be partly or wholly insulated from the effects of the proposed turbine by a combination of local blocking and the topography. However, the presence of a new, modern and visually intrusive vertical element in the landscape would impinge in some way on at least nine of these heritage assets (negative/minor), and have a more pronounced impact on four assets: fort at Shepherds Farm (SAM), Twelve Barrows (SAM) and St Piran's Oratory and Church (SAM) (negative/moderate). Aggregate impact is not a real issue, but cumulative impact will become an issue in time.
