Abstract: |
The desk-based appraisal follows the guidance as outlined in: Standard and Guidance for Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment (CIfA 2014 revised 2020) and Understanding Place: historic area assessments in a planning and development context (Historic England 2017). The historic visual impact 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 2011b), Managing Change in the Historic Environment: Setting (Historic Scotland 2010), and with reference to Visual Assessment of Wind farms: Best Practice (University of Newcastle 2002), Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment 3rd edition (Landscape Institute 2013), Photography and Photomontage in Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (Landscape Institute 2011). The assessment also follows the guidance outlined in the Principles of Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment in the UK produced by CIfA, IHBC and IEMA in July 2021. The Site lies in the former landholding of the Hill, part of the lands of the Poltimore Estate since at least the early 19th century. The Site was located close to the centre of the holding with Hill View Cottages located on the Site of the former farmhouse, and a group of outbuildings formerly located to the South of the Site in 1840. In the early to Mid-20th century the Site became subdivided from a larger field, and may have formed part of a market garden, with the three new plots all terraced into the slope. The Site has since been landscaped further with a modern track and yard built in the southern part of the site. Fieldwork carried out in neighbouring plots indicates that there is a low potential for archaeological remains in the area. The proposals for a residential development on the Site are therefore unlikely to significantly impact any below ground archaeology, especially as it is considered very unlikely that anything will have survived 20th and 21st century works on the Site. In terms of impact the Grade II* Listed Church of St Michael and All Angels is very sensitive to further changes to its setting and whilst the proposals will further encroach upon this setting any harm is largely as part of the cumulative impact of developments in Pinhoe. The Church will retain its rural setting and character, and the proposed use of bungalows on the upper parts of the Site will minimise the impact of the development on heritage assets and the wider landscape. |
