Abstract: |
ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd. were appointed by John Handley Associates on behalf of Persimmon Homes PLC. to complete a DBA and walkover survey in advance of proposed development at Barns Farm to the east of Dalgety Bay, Fife. The proposed development involves construction of a number of dwelling houses on two plots of land with a total area of 5 hectares. The development area was identified as one with archaeological potential. As part of the planning application, the client requested a DBA and Walkover Survey of the site at the pre-planning stage in order to inform the proposals and the council decision. This assessment identifies any archaeological features affected by the development and recommends mitigation. This report will guide Fife Council's archaeological response to the project. The DBA and walkover demonstrated that the development area contains no known archaeological sites, features or built heritage and the development will have no direct impact. A number of sites were identified within the environs of the development, which have the potential to be indirectly affected. While the setting of these monuments is important, the DBA showed the impact to be negligible or minor. However, the Category B Listed Dalgety Kirk lies in close proximity to the site, and the setting of this monument will be compromised by the proposed development. ARCHAS recommend the development is sensitively designed so as not to encroach upon the setting of the monument, with careful planting of vegetation in order to screen the new houses from the church.
