Abstract: |
The results of a heritage assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for land at Upton Manor Farm campsite, Brixham, St Mary's Road, Devon. This work was undertaken in advance of proposed development. The geophysical survey and site inspection revealed no archaeologically relevant features or earthworks that did not correspond to modern activity. The remains of strip fields that likely previously existed within the locale were not visible within the survey results and may have been obscured/destroyed by the campsite and its associated features. The value of the archaeological resource on the site on the basis of these non-intrusive works appears to be of low significance. The southern field was not included in the geophysical survey area due to being overgrown and so no assessment on its potential archaeological value can currently be made. In terms of indirect impacts, most of the designated heritage assets in the wider area are 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 many of these buildings and monuments is such that they would be partly or wholly insulated from the effects of the proposed development by a combination of local blocking from trees, buildings or embankments, or that other modern intrusions have already impinged upon their settings. The singe listed building with a potential line of sight into the proposed development is currently obscured by trees, with a building between the site and it. The likely effect on the local assets by the proposed development would be negligible to neutral, with minor impacts to the Historic Landscape (negligible) and the slight possibility of cumulative impact (negligible). |
