Abstract: |
The results of a desk-based appraisal and historic visual impact assessment (HVIA) carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. At The Old Coalyard, Duporth Road, Charlestown, St. Austell, Cornwall, as part of the pre-planning submission for a proposed residential development. The proposed site lies within the World Heritage Site/Conservation Area of Charlestown, which includes numerous Grade II* and Grade II Listed buildings. The site is comprised of two distinct components; to the south is an area of overgrown gardens formerly associated with terraced workers cottages located on the other (south) side of Duporth Road; to the north is a largely still open, although truncated and patchy former ore floor. The sites location off the main street and within the settlement means that that there will be no significant impact upon the setting of the World Heritage Site. Most of the individual designated heritage assets within the settlement (two Grade II*, fifteen 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 twelve of these assets (negligible or negative/minor), primarily due to proximity and appearing within views from or of these assets. |
