Abstract:		 This report presents the results of a heritage impact assessment that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for a wind turbine at Wheal Martyn Pit, Treverbyn, Cornwall. The proposed development would be located within the flat top of a small bench tip between the Gunheath and the Wheal Martyn working clay pits and on the edge of the scheduled Wheal Martyn clay works. The bench tip developed in the late 19th century and the early 20th century as it does not appear on earlier 19th century mapping. It is of low profile, almost recessive compared to some of the larger historic bench tips and sky tips, and it does not make any significant contribution to the skyline profile. On the basis that the proposed development would be located on an early 20th century bench tip, the archaeological potential of the site can be assessed as low. In terms of indirect impacts, most of the designated heritage assets within the wider area are located at a distance whereby the impact of the proposed development on the assets would be minimised, or where the contribution of the setting to the overall significance of the assets is less important than other factors. The landscape context of many of the assets is such that they would be partially or wholly insulated from the effects of the proposed development by a combination of local blocking from trees, buildings, or embankments, or from modern intrusions that have already impinged upon their setting. A small number of assets of medium value and when considered in detail would be affected by the proposed development to a limited but quantifiable degree, such as the assets at Carthew and the assets within the valley that runs adjacent to the proposed development. The impact on these assets would be negligible to negative/moderate, with a negligible impact on the historic landscape, a negligible aggregate impact, and a negative/minor cumulative impact on the basis that there are several operational wind turbines in close proximity to the proposed development. On this basis, the impact of the proposed development can be assessed as negligible overall.
