Abstract: |
The results of a desk-based assessment, walkover survey and heritage impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. for a site at Norrington Yard, South Molton, Devon, to inform the future use of the site. The site lies on the edge of the South Molton Conservation Area, close to several Grade II and one Grade II* structure - the Market House/Pannier Market. The Grade II buildings most likely to be affected are located on South Street; their principal elevations all face onto the street and most would be insulated from any change to the site. The Market House is a large but plain structure that projects into the shallow valley to the rear of Broad Street. Development of the site would affect the setting of this building as viewed from across the open and rather bleak car parks to the south and east of the site. Its presentation elevation is on Broad Street, and the lack of elaboration to the rear of the building would strongly suggest this element of the structure was almost entirely functional. Nonetheless, development of the former recycling centre would impinge on the setting of the structure, and be visible from the (later, forced) rear entrance of the Market House. Change within that setting is judged to be moderate, but given its current derelict state that change could, if sensitively handled, be a positive one. |
