Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The proposed turbine would be installed on land enclosed from former common/moor in the 19th century, which was located on the edge of post-medieval enclosure. In the early to mid 20th century the area to the north of the proposal site became a plantation. There are two Grade II Listed assets/groups of assets within 1km, within 5km of the proposal site are a further ten Grade II Listed structures/groups mostly farm buildings and a single Scheduled Monument. There are numerous higher value assets between 5-10km from the turbine, the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site and the Registered Battlefield at Solway Moss. Most of the designated assets in the wider area are located at such a distance or lack landscape presence as to minimise the impact of the proposed turbine or else the contribution of setting to overall significance is less important than other factors. In this border landscape many of the heritage assets formerly had defensive functions and so views and visibility contribute to their significance. However, the landscape context of many of these monuments is such that they would be partly or wholly insulated from the effects of the proposed turbine by a combination of local blocking and the topography. The presence of a new, modern and visually intrusive vertical element in the landscape would impinge in some way on at least ten designated assets (negligible to negative/minor or negative/minor), and have a more serious potential impact on the wider setting of The Ash; Cumcrook and adjoining Barn; Sleetbeck; and Outbuildings north of Sleetbeck (negative/moderate). Cumulative impact with existing and other proposed turbines will not be an issue for this site (negligible), but the impact on the landscape character is likely to be negative/moderate.
