Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a heritage assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. on land at Whiterocks, St Ann’s Chapel, Calstock, Cornwall, as part of the pre-planning documentation for a proposed housing development. 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 assessment suggests that only three assets (Hingston Down Mine Engine house, Salters Farmhouse, and the historic settlement of St Ann’s Chapel) would suffer any level of harm. There will be an incremental change to the character of the WHS, but in terms of the settlement and the wider landscape, that harm is considered minimal. With this in mind, the overall impact of the proposed development can be assessed as negative/minor. The impact of the development on the buried archaeological resource would, however, be permanent and irreversible but this is considered to likely be of low value and can be mitigated through an appropriately worded planning condition to allow for a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording, as occurred for the housing development to the south. |
