Abstract: |
Historic Environment Projects were approached by Corylus Planning and Environmental Ltd. on behalf of Trethosa Solar Ltd. on 24 September 2012 with a request to provide costs for an archaeological assessment of a proposed solar farm at Trethosa Farm, St. Stephen in Brannel as part of a proposed planning application. The proposal is for a solar farm within four fields having a total area of 10.7 hectares centred at SW 93909 54600 to the north of St. Stephen in Brannel and just to the south of an area of upland being actively being exploited for china clay. The site occupies an area of land whose Historic Landscape Character is Anciently Enclosed Land (farmland medieval). Given the nature of the location chosen for the solar farm, with its views across the landscape to the south, it is likely that some visual impacts on the settings of designated sites will result from its construction, which will introduce an area of modern development into a landscape whose origins are essentially medieval. The impacts of the proposal will be significantly diminished by the extent of active and abandoned china clay workings in immediately adjacent areas to the north and north west. The assessment consisted of a desk-based assessment and a walkover survey. A report summarising the results of the assessment and its conclusions prepared for the client included recommendations for further archaeological investigation of the site to determine any potential for the presence of sub-surface archaeology which might be negatively affected by the development. |
