Abstract:		 The proposal site forms part of the former MOD base at Turnchapel, which was established in 1903 and sold in 2014. Ths site has a much older history having been established by the 1st Earl of Morley as a shipyard in the 1790s, as part of his ambitious diversifications and industrialisations of the Saltram Estate. The site appears to be a mix of substantially terraced or made-up ground, with evidence of extensive quarrying obvious in the surrounding areas and on the historic mapping of the site. This has clear implications for the preservation of archaeological features and deposits, particularly for the eastern part of the site. The part of the site west of the former railway cutting has greater archaeological potential, given that it includes the site of several pre-1830 buildings and their associated gardens, and appears to have remained relatively untouched since this date. The western part of the site is substantially overgrown and the walkover survey could not thererfore provide any supporting or contradictory evidence for the archaeological potential of these former gardens. The Mansion House, and Boringdon Terrace are Grade II Listed buildings, and the area to the west of the site is all within the Turnchapel Conservation Area. Provided the scale and massing of any proposed development on the site does not exceed 2-3 storeys, harm to the setting of these assets will be minimal, largely due to the topography and busy and complicated views which already exist. It is recommended that the limestone boundary walls should be retained in all instances, particularly along the southern and western boundaries with new breeches kept to a minimum. The Admiralty boundary stones should also be retained, and restored where possible.
