Summary
A proposed residential development near All Saints Park and St Ann's Chapel in Calstock, Cornwall, is unlikely to cause substantial harm to nearby heritage assets. The study, conducted by South West Archaeology Ltd., found that the development would have a negligible adverse effect on Grade II Listed Salters Farmhouse and non-designated Hingston Down, aligning with 'Less than Substantial Harm' criteria. Modern housing developments in the vicinity provide screening, reducing visual impact. Desk-based research and archaeological trenching suggested minimal risk of significant archaeological findings. The report recommends adhering to local design guidance and using vernacular materials sensitive to the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site.
