Abstract:
A desk-based assessment, geophysical survey and historic visual impact assessment were carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Treworder Farm, Kenwyn, Cornwall, in advance of the construction of a 500kW wind turbine. The proposed turbine would be installed on land that now belongs to Treworder Farm, but that constituted part of the Manor of Tregavethan in 1840. It came into the possession of the Vivian family, probably in the 19th century. The geophysical survey that was undertaken identified only lost historic field boundaries. There are two Grade II Listed buildings and one Scheduled Monument that fall within 1km of the proposed site. There are three individual or groups of Scheduled Monuments within 2km and three Grade II Listed structures. There are well over 130 sites in total considered under the 10km radius from the turbine. 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 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 three of these heritage assets (negative/minor), and have a more pronounced impact on Treworder Farmhouse, Causilgey House, the hillfort 225m north-east of Bosvisack (negative/moderate) and the Round 200m north-west of Penventinnie (negative/substantial). Cumulative impact is not an issue, with very few individual assets or designated landscapes which the proposed turbine will have any significant cumulative effect upon.
