Abstract: |
Historic Environment Projects, Cornwall Council, in August 2013 with a request to provide costs for an archaeological assessment of the potential impacts of construction of a wind turbine at Healey's Cider Farm, Callestick, Perranzabuloe as part of a proposed planning application. The proposal is for a 50kw wind turbine with a hub height of 24m and a maximum blade tip height of 33.6m. The assessment consisted of a desk-based assessment, viewshed analysis out to 7.5km 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 a Conservation Area within a 7.5km radius. Many of the most sensitive heritage assets were located to the northeast and would experience a slight negative visual impact on their settings from at least the top of the turbine. Cumulative impacts were also assessed as a result of the high number of existing turbines in the area. The sub-surface remains of Callestock Veor Round may be physically and irreversibly impacted by the proposed wind turbine and a mitigation strategy including further archaeological investigation is recommended. Overall the potential impacts of the proposed wind turbine on the identified heritage assets is rated as slight with the impact on Callestock Veor Round and Bronze Age huts as significant. |
