Abstract:
The results of a Historic Visual Impact Assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for land south of the A30, Mitchell, Cornwall. This work was undertaken in support of a planning application. The site is located to the south of the A30, immediately to the north of the linear settlement of Mitchell, which itself is located along the Old A30. Mitchell formed part of the Degembris manor holdings until 1284 when this arrangement was ended and Mitchell formed its own independent community, a chapel being recorded since the early 13th century. In 1306 it was restyled from a small village and taxed as a borough. It is believed to have been at its most prosperous in the 14th century when it was a hub for medieval farming in the area. However, its prosperity declined in the 15th century. Archaeological investigations in Mitchell have been relatively few and limited in extent to date. Also, no assets are recorded within the proposed development site boundary on the Historic Environment Record (HER), though the surrounding landscape contains evidence of Prehistoric enclosures and burial mounds; Medieval settlement and farming; and the Post-Medieval and Modern development of the settlement at Mitchell. In terms of indirect impacts, most of the designated heritage assets in the wider area are located at such a distance to minimise the impact of the proposed development, 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 development by a combination of local blocking from trees, buildings or embankments, or that other modern intrusions have already impinged upon their settings. The asset that will be impacted to the greatest extent are Mitchell Farmhouse and the Wesleyan Chapel, with a predicted impact of negative/minor.
