Abstract:		 Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council, was approached with a request to provide costs for an archaeological assessment of the potential impacts of construction of a wind turbine at Polshea Farm, St Tudy as part of a proposed planning application. The proposal is for a 500kw wind turbine with a hub height of 40m and a maximum blade tip height of 67m, to be sited on agricultural land at Polshea Farm, to the north of St Tudy village, in the parish of St Tudy at SX 06989 77681 (NGR). The wind turbine is to be sited at a height of approximately 134m OD on the northern side of a hillcrest. The area immediately surrounding the site proposed for the turbine is recorded as Anciently Enclosed Land (farmland medieval). The assessment consisted of a desk-based assessment, viewshed analysis out to 10km from the proposed turbine location, and a walkover survey. Given the location chosen for the wind turbine, it was anticipated that there was some potential for negative impacts on the settings of a number of important Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings, Registered Parks and Gardens and two Conservation Areas within a 10km radius. Many of the most sensitive heritage assets were located to the northeast and would experience a very minor negative visual impact on their settings from at least the top of the turbine. Cumulative impacts were also assessed as a result of the number of existing turbines in the area. Overall the potential impacts of the proposed wind turbine on the identified heritage assets are rated as minor.
