Abstract: |
The results of a Heritage Impact Assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for the erection of a stable block and separate garage/workshop building at Mockham Down House, Bratton Fleming, North Devon, Devon. The proposed site lies in close proximity to a Scheduled Iron Age 'Hillfort' within the gardens and fields of Mockham Down House (formerly Farm) an early 20th century Farm established on the site of post-medieval quarrying and mining activity. Keeping the buildings as two separate low level timber clad structures within existing and proposed additional planting will reduce visibility, with the natural topography and proposed actual) terracing for the structures. Other modern impacts are all located to the north and west of the Scheduled Hillfort and as such the proposed adds to the modern visual impacts (cumulative harm) on this side of the monument, but will not compound this impact. By leaving the fields to the south and east of the monument open and undeveloped, the site will maintain a more open and agricultural character. The northern and western sides are more densely planted with mature trees and garden features, which limit views in and out from these directions. It is recomende that some additional, though limited planting would soften the lines of the new stables. |
