Abstract: |
Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council, were approached by Mi-Grid Ltd on 19 September 2012 with a request for the costs of an archaeological assessment of a proposed wind turbine at Blable Farm, St. Issey, Wadebridge as part of a planning application. The proposal is for a single 500Kw wind turbine with a maximum blade tip height of 67m on farmland at Blable Farm in the parish of St. Issey, just to the south of St. Breock Downs at SW 94556 069071. The site lies on a spur of St. Breock Downs in an area of former downland which was enclosed to agriculture during the 20th century. The assessment consisted of a desk-based assessment, viewshed analysis out to 10Km from the turbine location, analysis of a geophysical survey of the site and a walkover survey. Given the open, elevated nature of the location chosen for the wind turbine and the plethora of Scheduled barrows to the south, visual impacts resulting from its construction are inevitable. The most significant impacts would be on the settings of the Scheduled Nine Maidens stone row 1 Km to the south west; impacts would be experienced at many of the Scheduled barrows along the nearby ridgetops and on the HLC of the project area. Impacts on the settings of Listed Buildings, Conservation Areas, Registered Parks and Gardens and more distant Scheduled Monuments are unlikely. A report summarising the results of the assessment and its conclusions was prepared for the client. |
