Abstract: |
The proposed site lies at the summit of Pines Tip. This formed part of the Wheal Remfry china clay workings which had historically been part of the Wheal Edith iron mines. In the 1870s, these workings were acquired by Henry Remfry, John James and George Rogers. In 1906 The Wheal Remfry Clay Brick and Tile Company was listed. The works were later sold to English China Clays Ltd. (ECC)/English Clays Lovering Pochin and Company (ECLP), before being sold to IMERYS. Keeping the array as low level as is functionally possible and setting the panels in from the edge of the tip will minimise visibility, as the maturing gorse on the slopes will partly screen views. By leaving a generous band around the top of the summit, the site will maintain its community use, although this will need to be carefully fenced for safety. If this is impossible and the sites now established foliage is to be reduced and grazing management stopped, then the impact of undermining the good work achieved here of regenerating a landscape must be weighed up against the benefit of natural energy production. With this in mind, the overall impact of the proposed development can be assessed as negligible to negative/ minor. The impact of the development on the buried archaeological resource would be permanent/irreversible. |
