Abstract: |
No statutory designated or non-designated heritage assets lie within the proposed development site. No World Heritage sites, Scheduled Monuments, Registered Parks and Gardens or Battlefields were identified by the baseline survey within the study area. The fields comprising the proposed development site are considered to contribute to the wider agricultural setting of the Grade II Listed Norden, and also to make a minor contribution to the wider agricultural setting of the Listed buildings within Kingsbridge, and Kingsbridge Conservation Area. It is anticipated that the proposed development would adversely alter part of their wider agricultural setting. However, as the development will not physically impact upon the buildings, or affect their immediate setting, it is not considered that development is likely to lead to 'substantial harm' to Norden, or the Listed buildings within Kingsbridge, and Kingsbridge Conservation Area as defined by National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF; paragraph 133). Below ground remains relating to a well and linhay, both of very limited heritage interest, may survive within the northern end of the western field of the proposed development site. The masterplan indicates that these heritage assets will not be impacted upon. There is considered to be some limited potential for palaeolithic remains, and very limited potential for all later prehistoric and Roman remains, to be present within the proposed development site. The site appears to have been in agricultural use from the early medieval period onward and is likely to have formed part of the agricultural hinterland of Kingsbridge and West Alvington, in particular associated with Norden. There is considered to be very low potential for medieval and later settlement remains to be present within the proposed development site. |
