Abstract: |
The results of a historic visual impact assessment (HVIA) carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. for Woodbury Castle, a scheduled hillfort, with respect to land at Great Cotton Farm, Stoke Fleming as part of the pre-planning submission for a proposed residential development. The proposed phase 2 development will extend an earlier stage of development (phase 1) for which building works are yet to commence. West-north-west of the proposed development is Woodbury Camp, a Scheduled Ancient Monument. This is a substantial defended enclosure located in a locally-prominent position. The hillfort lies within several fields south-west of Woodbury Farm, and parts of the rampart survive relatively well; however, most of the monument has been ploughed down and the site is on the Heritage at Risk Register. This assessment determined that there would be intervisibility between Woodbury Camp and the houses on the edge of the proposed development, and views to the monument from along the valley from the south-east would include the development; those houses would not, however, be substantial skyline features and any impacts can be softened through appropriate mitigation measures. Bearing in mind the current situation and condition of the monument, and the visual effect of the proposed housing scheme, the overall impact of the proposed development can be assessed as negative/minor. Mitigation in the form of hedgerow and tree planting is proposed. |
