GDL 00076

Broxmouth Park Inventory Designed Landscape

Inventory Garden and Designed Landscape

High

Yes

Designed landscape for Broxmouth Park house set on the coast of the Firth of Forth.

The centre of the designed landscape is largely enclosed by dense mature deciduous woodland. The coastal edge is now a golfcourse and to the east is a caravan site.

Approximately 3.7 km from the east edge of the designated area to the edge of the onshore substation

No impact

Although the bare earth ZTV suggests limited visibility from the eastern edge of the designed landscape, it is probable that the intervening Tarmac Cement Works will block, heavily filter, or distract from views to the Proposed Development.

The setting of the inventory garden and designed landscape will be uncompromised.

None

-

GDL 00154

Dunglass Inventory Designed Landscape

Inventory Garden and Designed Landscape

High

Yes

Designed landscape for Dunglass House, set on the coast of the Firth of Forth.

A largely enclosed landscape surrounded by dense mature coniferous and deciduous woodland the exception is the views out to the north and the coast, in which Torness Power Station is a feature in the distance. There are possible wider views from higher points within the designed landscape, where trees do not block views.

Given the location of Dunglass, on the low flat lands of the East Lothian Plain, views from any high points are likely to afford wide panoramic views over the surrounding landscape.

Approximately 3.1 km from the west edge of the designated area to the edge of the onshore substation

No impact.

The bare earth ZTV suggests very limited visibility from within the designed landscape. Locations where visibility is predicted are generally high points which, if not blocked by trees, will have wide views over the surrounding landscape including over agricultural fields, the A1 Trunk Road, the East Coast Main Line and Torness Power Station, among others.

The Proposed Development would constitute a slight change in distant views from such viewpoints.

None

Innerwick Conservation Area

Conservation Area

Medium

Yes

Small agricultural village, centred round an 18th century church, built on a knoll, and surrounded by arable farmland, with steeply rising ground to the south. To the north of the Innerwick runs the A1 Trunk Road, which although not visible from much of the Conservation Area is clearly audible, to the northeast and visible from the eastern edge of the Conservation Area is the Torness Power Station.

Approximately 477 m from the east edge of the designated area to the edge of the onshore substation

Medium

The Proposed Development will be approximately 410 m to the northeast of the edge of the Conservation Area.

While the Proposed Development will not be visible from many of the buildings within Innerwick, it will bring a large industrial building into the arable farmland to the northeast of the village, beyond which the Torness Power Station will be visible as a taller structure. The Proposed Development will, detract somewhat from the wider agricultural surrounding of the Conservation Area.

Oldhamstock Conservation Area

Conservation Area

Medium

No

Small rural agricultural village, of medieval origin, surrounded by arable farmland with rising ground to the north and the steep-sided slopes to Oldhamstock Burn to the south. It is often referred to as ”one of the ’hidden villages’ as it can only be reached by local roads and has a remote and timeless feel” (East Lothian Council Local Development Plan, Cultural Heritage and the Built Environment, Supplementary Planning Guidance 2018, 29).

Approximately 3.4 km from the north edge of the designated area to the edge of the onshore substation

No impact

No visibilitiy from the Conservation Area.

BTL 31

Battle of Dunbar I

Inventory Battlefield

High

Yes

Battle of Dunbar I took place in 1296 and was the first major battle of the First Scottish War of Independence. The Inventory Battlefield Site covers an area of approximately 11 km2 to the southwest of Dunbar.

The HES significance statement (Battle of Dunbar I (BTL 31) (historicenvironment.scot) Accessed 14th February 2022), states that this large inventory battlefield area ”encompasses areas of fighting, key movements of troops across the landscape, and other important locations, such as the positions of camps or vantage points.”

Approximately 3.1 km from the east edge of the designated area to the edge of the onshore substation

No Impact

The Proposed Development will be visible from some vantage points from within the Inventory Battlefield, but It is not within the battlefield area nor is it in a key landscape area related to events of the battle. The Proposed Development would be a further modern feature in the wider landscape surrounding the battlefield, along with Torness Power Station and the Tarmac Cement Works. Its presence would not interfere with the ability for any visitor to key battlefield locations to understand or appreciate the landscape in which this battle took place.

Battle of Dunbar II

Inventory Battlefield

High

Yes

The Battle of Dunbar II took place in 1650 and was the most influential battle fought in Scotland during the War of the Three Kingdoms. It was one of the largest battles fought in Scotland and one of Oliver Cromwell’s most significant victories. The Inventory Battlefield Site covers an area of approximately 16 km2 and stretches south and east from the coast at Dunbar.

The HES significance statement (Battle of Dunbar II (BTL7) (historicenvironment.scot) Accessed 14th February 2022), states that this large inventory battlefield area ”encompasses areas of fighting, key movements of troops across the landscape, and other important locations, such as the positions of camps or vantage points.”

Approximately 1.3 km from the east edge of the designated area to the edge of the onshore substation

No Impact

The Proposed Development will be visible from some vantage points from within the Inventory Battlefield, but is not within the battlefield area nor is it in a key landscape area related to the battlefield. The Proposed Development would be a further modern feature in the wider landscape surrounding the battlefield, along with Torness Power Station and the Tarmac Cement Works. Its presence would not interfere with the ability for any visitor to key battlefield locations to understand or appreciate the landscape in which this battle took place.
