Abstract:		 This report presents the results of a heritage impact assessment that was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) in advance of the proposed addition of two areas of eco-pod lodges within the grounds of Trenython Manor Lodges, Tywardreath, Par, Cornwall. The historic impact assessment followed the guidance that is outlined in: Conservation Principles: Policies and Guidance for the Sustainable Management of the Historic Environment (English Heritage 2008); The Setting of Heritage Assets (Historic England 2015); Seeing History in the View (English Heritage 2011); Managing Change in the Historic Environment: Setting (Historic Scotland 2010); Visual Assessment of Wind Farms: Best Practice (University of Newcastle 2002); and Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment: 3rd Edition (Landscape Institute 2013). Trenython Manor is a fine gentleman's residence of the mid-to-late 19th century that is built in a classic Italianate style. It was later owned by the Bishop of Truro and it was adapted to specifically entertain guests. The Bishop viewed it as his duty to create a focus for the diocese and as such he needed a base from which to host the great and the good of the district to forward his various socio-economic philanthropic aims. The house subsequently fell into disrepair, arguably being too large for a private residence without a full staff, and it now forms a part of CLC Resorts group. It serves as a clubhouse at the heart of a disparate and upmarket holiday park, with a number of small timber lodges built throughout its wooded and landscaped grounds. In many ways Trenython Manor is still ironically being used for its intended purpose as an entertainment hub. Its function within the park as a grand central communal building has allowed for the restoration and the retention of its fine interiors as large open spaces, in contrast to many former grand residences that have since been divided into flats, and as such it has retained its authenticity and its significance. A slight increase in the density of the accommodation within the wider grounds, especially in areas that are not directly visible from the house, will have little to no lasting effect on the house as they will be in line with the current use of the wider setting. The impact on the wider landscape will also be fairly small: Site A ( Area 01) may be glimpsed across the fields from the undesignated enclosure nearby, however it is not visible from the key heritage asset (Castle Dore); and Site B (Area 02) is secluded amongst the trees with no wider viewscape. Where slight negative impacts are felt, the positive changes to a large, unused, and overgrown area outweigh the issues. Furthermore, the proposed development sits within an already established holiday park landscape. The overall heritage impact will be negligible.
