Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a desk-based assessment, walkover survey and visual impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at Coombe Farm, Iddesleigh, Devon, in advance of the construction of a single small wind turbine. The site lies to the south of Coombe Farm, within an area of land probably enclosed in the later medieval period. On the basis of the available cartographic evidence, the farm itself was established between 1827 and 1843, probably as a sub-division of an earlier estate. The antiquity of the field boundaries and the character of some of the field names would, however, suggest earlier origins, so there may be an abandoned medieval settlement somewhere on the farm. There are a relatively large number of Grade II Listed buildings in the local area, most of which are Listed farmhouses and associated structures. Under normal circumstances farmhouses are not considerable particularly sensitive to the visual intrusion of a turbine; however, given that much of the local fieldscape appears to be derived from late medieval enclosures, the significance of setting to both elements is enhanced. On this basis the impact of the proposed development is assessed as negative/minor to negative/moderate, despite the relatively small size of the proposed turbine. |
