Abstract: |
The results of a desk-based appraisal and historic visual impact assessment (HVIA) carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. on land behind Crossways, Buckland Brewer, Devon, as part of the pre-planning submission for a proposed residential development. The proposed development would take place on land within the Conservation Area at the edge of the village of Buckland Brewer, extending it slightly into the post-medieval fields on this side of the village. Relatively little archaeological fieldwork has taken place in the immediate area. Although the site could not be subjected to a walkover due to crops and overgrowth blocking access, the archaeological potential of the site based on the cartographic and HER evidence appears to be low. Most of the individual designated heritage assets within the settlement (one Grade II*, three Grade II assets) would be partly or wholly insulated from the effects of the proposed development by a combination of local blocking, or that other modern intrusions have already impinged upon their settings. The development would have little impact on views to or within the Conservation Area or from or between individual heritage assets (neutral or negligible). With this in mind, the overall impact of the proposed development can be assessed as neutral to negligible. The impact of the development on the buried archaeological resource would be permanent/irreversible, although the chance of encountering any significant archaeological deposits appears low. |
