Abstract: |
The results of a desk-based appraisal, walkover survey and Historic Visual Impact Assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. on land at Wheal Jane, Baldhu, Kea, Cornwall, in order to inform a proposed development of the site. The site is comprised of a single field within the property boundary of the Wheal Jane Earth Science Park. The proposed site lies on the edge of the Gwennap Mining District World Heritage Site, which includes Grade II* and Grade II Listed buildings and Scheduled Ancient Monuments. Due to the location of the site, within a basin near the bottom of a valley with made ground to its north and east there are very few designated heritage assets that could be impacted upon by the development, if at all. The combination of topography and local blocking by trees and hedge banks makes its impact on all of the considered assets neutral. With this in mind, the overall impact of the proposed development can be assessed as negative/minor, although this can be further offset through the knowledge that there is no permanent structure being put in place, and that any buried archaeological resource, will be preserved in-situ beneath the made-ground used to level the site. The impact on the buried archaeological resource would be neutral. The visual impact of the development will be temporary/reversible. |
