Abstract:		 The results of an archaeological assessment comprising a desk-based appraisal and historic visual impact assessment (HVIA) carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. at Porthleven Shipyard, Porthleven, Cornwall, as part of the pre-planning submission for a proposed development. The sites location north of the B3304 and immediately north of the harbour, within the core of the settlement, means that there will be visible and physical changes to the conservation area, however, the level of impact on the setting and character of the conservation area can be assessed as negligible. Most of the individual designated heritage assets within the settlement (one Grade II*, twenty seven Grade II Listed buildings) are also located at such a distance to minimise the impact of the proposed development, or else the contribution of setting to overall significance is less important than other factors. Other buildings would be partly or wholly insulated from the effects of the proposed development by a combination of local blocking, and the topography, or that other modern intrusions have already impinged upon their settings. However, the construction and presence of a new, modern development in the landscape would impinge in some way on eight of these assets (negative/minor or negligible), primarily due to proximity and appearing within views from or of these assets. The archaeological potential of the site is low, although the paleo-environmental potential is very high, as the site is located in close proximity to known peat deposits, which date back to at least the Bronze Age. Depending on the proposed foundation strategy it is recommended that a strategy of archaeological monitoring and paleo-environmental sampling may be required.
