Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation and historic visual impact assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at Beara Farm, Chulmleigh, Devon, in advance of the construction of a single 50Kw wind turbine. The proposed turbine would be located in a field belonging to the farmstead at Beara, itself part of the Manor of Chulmleigh. This location is near the summit of a broad, plateau-like hill dissected by steep-sided narrow valleys. The large-scale plateau-like landform should serve to diminish the visual scale of the development. Most of the designated heritage assets in the wider area are located at such a distance to minimise the impact of the proposed turbine, or else the contribution of setting to overall significance is less important than other factors. The presence of a new, modern and visually intrusive vertical element in the landscape would impinge in a minor way on some of these heritage assets, with a more pronounced impact on the farm at Beara and the barrow cemetery on the adjacent Horridge Moor. With this in mind, the overall impact of the proposed turbine can be assessed as negative/minor to negative/moderate. The impact of the development on the buried archaeological resource will be permanent/irreversible. |
