Land at Penyglog Aberhosan, Machynlleth, Powys Assessment of Impact on Nationally Important Sites within 2km of the Proposed Turbine

1. Summary 1.1 This historic environment assessment has been undertaken by Trysor to examine likely impacts on Nationally Important sites within 2 kilometres of a proposed wind turbine on land at Penyglog, Aberhosan, Machynlleth, Powys, planning application number P/2015/0148.

1.2 It has also looked at the impact on LANDMAP historic and cultural aspect areas within 2 kilometres.

1.3 The assessment has studied the impacts on all designated historic assets within an area measuring 2km in radius, focused on SN8131398307, the location of the proposed turbine. Datasets circulated by Cadw on 8th September 2015 were used.

1.3.1 There are no Scheduled Ancient Monuments within a 2km radius of the proposed turbine.

1.3.2 There are no Registered Historic Parks and Gardens within a 2km radius of the proposed turbine.

1.3.3 There are eight Listed Buildings within the 2km radius. There would be a Very Low indirect visual impact on two Listed Buildings and a Low indirect visual impact on one Listed Building but in no case would there be an impact on their setting.

3. Introduction 3.1 Roger Parry & Partners LLP, The Estates Office, 20 Salop Road, Oswestry, Shropshire, SY11 2NU has commissioned Trysor heritage consultants on behalf of their client to write an Historic Environment Impact Assessment on Nationally Important sites for a proposed turbine on land at Penyglog, Aberhosan, Machynlleth Powys, SY20 8SG, planning application P/2015/0148.

3.2 The report was commissioned at the request of the Built Heritage Conservation Officer for Powys County Council.

4. The proposed development 4.1 It is proposed that a single turbine, 24.8 metres to hub and 36.6m to the upright blade tip, is located at approximately SN8131398307 on high ground south of Melin Byrhedyn.

5. Planning History 5.1 A planning application for the proposed turbine was submitted to Powys County Council planning department on 3rd March 2015.

5.2 An EIA screening opinion was compiled by Powys County Council on the 18th August 2015

5.2.1 On page 2, paragraph 3, of the screening opinion it was noted “..The closest listed buildings are the Smithy in

2 Land at Penyglog Aberhosan, Machynlleth, Powys Assessment of Impact on Nationally Important Sites within 2km of the Proposed Turbine

Melinbyrhedyn some 600 metres to the north and Aberhosan chapel approximately 1km to the south….” 5.2.2 In the last paragraph on page 3 under “Does the development fall within a sensitive area” Scheduled Ancient Monuments are listed as one of the sensitive areas according to EIA regulations. It is noted that “There is two Scheduled Ancient Monuments (SAMs) within 5km of the site namely, Fron Goch Hillfort some 3.2 km to the north east and Foel Fadian round barrow approximately 3.3 km to the south east”

5.2.3 On pages 4 and 5 is the section “The main issues which emerge as potentially having an effect on the environment are…”

5.2.4 Listed Buildings and Scheduled Ancient Monuments are not mentioned in this section.

5.2.5 On page 5 in this section under a heading “Archaeologiocal Impacts” it is stated that Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust had commented and that there were no archaeological implications from this proposed turbine. This is in line with the response from Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust of 10th March 2015.

5.3 Debra Lewis, Built Conservation Officer for Powys County Council, to an email to Gemma Bufton, planning officer, dated 08/09/2015, for Powys County Council stated that she “…would not consider the impact that the proposed wind turbine would have on the heritage assets in the area has been addressed sufficiently to approve this application…” The particular concerns were the Listed Buildings within 2km.

5.4 This report was commissioned to assess the impact on Nationally Important Sites within 2km of the proposed turbine.

5.5 After a meeting between Richard Corbett and Becky Bowen of Roger Parry & Partners and Debra Lewis, further assessment on the impact of the turbine on the historic and cultural aspects areas within 2 kilometres was also undertaken.

6. Methodology 6.1 A study area of 2km radius centred on SN8131398307, the proposed turbine site, was chosen for the assessment of all designated historic assets.

6.2 Datasets received from Cadw on 8th September 2015 was used for the assessment. Descriptions available through the Historic Wales portal for Listed Buildings were used to inform the history of the buildings and their current condition.

6.3 Historic mapping was consulted. The maps used included 19th and 20th century 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey mapping.

6.4 A site visit was made to the area on May 7th, 2015 and to four of the Listed Buildings on 18th September 2015.

6.5 The aerial photographs on Google Earth, dating to 2006 and 2009, were used to inform the assessment as well as the more recent aerial photographs on the People’s Collection.

6.6 Elevation profiles, were used assess to intervisibility, views and impact on setting, as well as a ZTV provided by the client.

6.7 Modern mapping was used to assess current public access

6.8 All information gathered during the desktop assessment and site visit was entered into a bespoke database created in Access 2003 to form an assessment dataset.

6.9 The Direct and Indirect impact on each site and its setting was assessed taking into account both physical and non-physical impacts. Each impact was assessed within the scale Very Low, Low, Moderate, High and Very High, taken into account the significance of the site and the nature of the impact.

7. Impact on Nationally Important Historic Assets

7.1 Scheduled Ancient Monuments and their settings 7.1.1 There are no Scheduled Ancient Monuments within the 2km assessment area.

7.2 Listed Buildings and their settings 7.2.1 There are eight Listed Buildings within the 2km assessment area. There would be a Low indirect, visual impact The Smithy (84431) and a Very Low indirect visual impact on Pen Rhiw Las (84429) and Gydrhos (84423) but with no impact on their settings, see Table 1 and Figure 2. Details of the settings and impacts are given in Appendix A as well as photgraphs.

A communication mast already stands c.1.6km to the southwest. Trees have been planted to the northwest of the house which will eventually block this view to some extent.
