Abstract:		 The results of a Heritage Impact Assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for the Gospel Mission Hall, Downinney, Warbstow, Cornwall, in advance of the proposed construction of 1 or 2 dwellings. The site lies at the north-western end of the village of Downinney and includes the former Congregation Chapel and Sunday school, which was acquired by the Downinney Foursquare Gospel Party from the Congregational and Baptist Union in 1959. The structure appears to be a reused temporary military structure from the Second World War Period, but fittings relating to its origin or original use have been lost. A programme of renovation and modernisation was carried out in the 1960s. By the 1980s, the timber-framed building was deemed unsuitable for the needs of the Foursquare group and was abandoned, remaining unused; deteriorating and partially collapsing in 2013. The proposed development will see the building which currently occupies the site being replaced. The proposed design will broadly occupy a similar location in the plot but slightly taller and with a larger footprint being comprised of three blocks. The site will therefore change to have a domestic character, but will fit within the wider settlement character but will stand above the hedgebank boundary. The low profile of the existing structure allows for open views up the high ground to the north-west, towards Bury hillfort and high down. Whilst the construction of a larger building(s) may create a slight change in views and provide more of a sense of enclosure, it will not fundamentally change the character of the setting or views, which will still be retained as domestic/working agricultural.
