Introduction 1.1: Matthew Wigan Associates has been instructed to undertake a Landscape and Visual Appraisal of the proposed development at Penmorva, Helford, hereafter referred to as the ‘Site’. 1.2: The Site is situated on Bar Road, which forms the northern boundary above the community of Helford PassaGe. The Site is located in the west end of this private road, the lane supportinG a ribbon development of housinG, sliGhtly separate from Helford PassaGe, by virtue of beinG some 40 to 60m above the fore shore dwellings. A mosaic of pine trees and deciduous trees and often well planted Gardens increases the visual separation. The nearby housinG of Bar Road, reflects the incremental development of the area, displayinG a great variety of housinG from the 1920’s to the modern day.. The site is located in the Cornwall AONB. In 2013, full planninG permission was Granted for a replacement dwellinG on this site. That approval has since expired and a new approval is souGht for the site. The Site will be accessed from the existinG Bar Road. To the north of Bar Road, the risinG topoGraphy and extensive tree planting screen views from the Budock Vean Golf Club and the settlement to the north. Directly to the north, the steeply fallinG Ground, combined with the dense boundary veGetation screen views from Boscantle and Polvadhi for all but the upper roof of Penmorva. To the east the dense vegetation screens views to the rest of Bar Road, includinG the adjacent property of Bay Trees. To the west, the veGetation is less dense, and there are partial views to the adjacent property of Mullion CottaGe. Immediately to the south, the local steep topoGraphy of the creekside, well planted with evergreen trees, provide substantial screeninG and locally visually contain the Site within the broader landscape context of an enclosed valley with wooded up-slopes. There are more distant views into the Site from the south, from the far side of the Helford River. However, Given the sylvan character of the Bar Road residential development, the views are reGularly screened by the interveninG veGetation. Elsewhere to the east and west, the local topoGraphy, narrow country lanes and interveninG veGetation prevent views of the Site. The views from Helford River itself were assessed in principle, however they were not able to be corroborated on site. The local views from the Helford Point foreshore and slipways identify the likely extent of the views and the context of the site within those views. There are very localised views into the Site from the northwest and north from Bar Road and occasional views from the south from the Public footpath 218/18/1 and 218/19/1 but otherwise the Site is well contained with only partial Glimpsed views throuGh the veGetation, from PROW, the South West Coat Path, limited areas of foreshore and residential dwellinGs. Penmorva, Helford: Landscape and Visual Appraisal 2 Matthew Wigan Associates 2. Methodology 2.1: This appraisal considers two separate, but inter-linked issues as follows: • Landscape Issues: The physical and cultural characteristics of the Site and its surroundinGs and the landscape character of the local area; and • Visual Issues: Views from visual receptors surroundinG the Site and the amenity value of these views. 2.2: In considerinG these issues the standard industry Guidance for Good practice, on which the methodoloGy adopted for this appraisal is based, includes the followinG Guidance: • ‘Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment’, Landscape Institute (LI) and Institute of Environmental ManaGement and Assessment (IEMA) 2013; and • ‘Landscape Character Assessment’, the Countryside AGency and Scottish Natural HeritaGe (SNH) 2002. • The Cornwall Landscape Character Best Practice Guide 2011 parts1-7; • The methodoloGy adopted comprised a combination of desktop and field studies includinG the followinG: • An overview of statutory plans and other data reGardinG relevant desiGnations and planninG polices for the area; • A topoGraphical analysis of the Site, usinG OS profile data, to establish the topoGraphy of the area and zone of theoretical visibility of the Site itself; • An assessment of the landscape character of the Site, toGether with the sensitivity of the landscape to chanGe. This includes the classification of the landscape into units of distinct and recoGnisable character; • Identification of representative viewpoints and classifications of sensitivity; • Consideration of the likely potential landscape and visual effects which miGht result from the proposed scheme options. 2.3: The visual analysis is based on views from external spaces within the public domain and not from inside buildinGs or private spaces. PhotoGraphs were taken from selected viewpoints with a diGital camera with the equivalent of a 50mm lens. PhotoGraphs were diGitally stitched usinG software to create panoramic imaGes representinG the Site’s full context. The camera location and details of each viewpoint were recorded and summarised in the table below.

  • Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Landscape Character Study
    CORNWALL AND ISLES OF SCILLY LANDSCAPE CHARACTER STUDY Overview and Technical Report Final Report May 2007 Forward The Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Landscape Character Study 2005-2007 has been developed as a joint project between the local authorities in Cornwall, the National Trust and the AONB units of Cornwall, the Tamar Valley and the Isles of Scilly supported by the Countryside Agency (now Natural England). Diacono Associates in conjunction with White Consultants were appointed in 2005 to undertake a Landscape Character Assessment for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. This updates the Cornwall Landscape Assessment published in 1994. This report sets out the methodology by which Landscape Character Areas have been identified, based on Landscape Description Units, and brings together the main findings of the study including the initial consultation stages. Part of the study included an assessment of landscape sensitivity at the level of the Landscape Description Units. This aspect of the study is however to be the subject of further investigation and the findings set out in this report have not therefore been endorsed at this stage by the participating organisations. This report will form the basis of a number of areas of further research and investigation including landscape sensitivity, and seascape assessment as well as the further consultation on the draft Landscape Character Area Descriptions.
