Abstract: |
This archaeological assessment was undertaken in accordance with best practice. The heritage assessment follows the guidance outlined in: Conservation Principles: policies and guidance for the sustainable management of the historic environment (English Heritage 2008), The Setting of Heritage Assets (Historic England 2015), Seeing History in the View (English Heritage 2011), Managing Change in the Historic Environment: Setting (Historic Scotland 2010), and with reference to Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment 3rd Edition (Landscape Institute 2013). The impact assessment also follows the guidance outlined in the Principles The proposed development would see the construction of 6 houses on part of one agricultural field to the north of Windmill Road. Continuing the linear nature of development along this road, and the pattern of development almost entirely being on the northern side of this lane. The indirect impacts on nearby designated heritage assets, namely the Grade II* Listed windmill are considered slight adverse. There is a potential constructional phase impact on the closest heritage assets in terms of aural and visual intrusion, though this impact will only be temporary. The overall impact of the proposed development can be assessed as slight adverse and therefore less than substantial harm, so the slight harm in this instance will be considered outweighed by the public benefits of this proposed scheme. The impact of the development on any buried archaeological resource will be permanent but can be mitigated if deemed appropriate by the planning authority through a standard archaeological monitoring and recording planning condition. |
