Abstract:
This report presents the results of a historic building recording and a heritage impact assessment that were carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for a residential development at Vogue House, Vogue Hill, St. Day, Cornwall. The outbuilding is a locally important structure that makes a contribution to the setting of Vogue House, however it holds little individual historical value. Its conversion will be an improvement on the setting and the views within the immediate setting of the Grade II Listed Vogue House. Its design will minimise the visual change from outside of the garden plot in which it stands and it will seek to reuse openings and to minimise fabric loss within the building. The conversion and the reuse of an otherwise derelict building that would only deteriorate further is considered to be broadly beneficial, with few impact considerations serious enough to outweigh the positives to the building and to the adjacent Vogue House (slight/positive impact). In terms of indirect impacts, most of the designated heritage assets within the wider area (two Grade II* Listed Buildings and fifteen Grade II Listed Buildings) 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 proposed development is the reconstruction and the reuse of a former outbuilding that will maintain scale and historic openings as far as is possible. The proposed development will therefore have little to no impact on the World Heritage Site (neutral-negligible impact). With this in mind, the overall impact of the proposed development can be assessed as neutral-negligible. The design is sympathetic to the overall aesthetic of the settlement and to the mini-estate in which it stands, whilst mitigation is possible through archaeological monitoring and recording, through minor additional recording of the building, and through the restoration of historic fabric and structures. The impact of the proposed development on any buried archaeological resource, as well as on the historic floor surface, would be permanent and irreversible, however the potential for encountering any significant archaeological deposits below the floor surface is considered to be low.
