Abstract: |
The results of a historic visual impact assessment (HVIA) carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. on land adjacent to Barton Close, Filleigh, Devon, as part of the pre-planning submission for a proposed residential development. The proposed development would take place within the grounds of the largely 18th century Castle Hill Estate, and within its Grade I Listed Registered Park and Garden. The park contains a number of designated and undesignated garden structures, with the Grade II* Listed Palladian mansion at its centre. The site itself is situated on the boundary of the estate village of Filleigh which flanks the road between Swimbridge and South Molton. The estate has continued to evolve and change with each generation, and it is a living landscape, that has, and will continue to evolve. It is not a static entity but something that is, and should continue, to be cherished and allowed to thrive with significant communal as well as aesthetic and historic value. Most of the individual designated heritage assets in the area (three Grade II*, 23 Grade II Listed buildings/structures and two scheduled monuments) 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. The landscape context of those monuments or buildings which would be important is such that they would be partly or wholly insulated from the effects of the proposed development by a combination of local blocking, and the topography. Other modern intrusions already impinge upon the settings of most of the assets, most notably in the audible presence of the North Devon Link Road. |
