The proposal is for a solar farm. The application area is 26.3ha in size. That part of it where panels are proposed is 18.7ha and the solar farm would be centred at NGR SO 83846 22576, c. 0.7km to the northwest of Twigworth and c. 1.3km southeast of Sandhurst (Figure 1). By way of introduction, the land is formed of arable at the time of writing, two fields would become the solar farm. These proposals are hereafter referred to as the Proposed Development Area (PDA) and/or the inner study area. In summary, the development will provide a solar farm and ancillary structures, grid connection/s and associated access routes. For this report the land has been assessed for its below ground archaeological potential and for its potential to indirectly affect above ground heritage (setting). In terms of archaeology, the assessment has had several stages, and in accordance with relevant government planning policy and guidance, this began with assembling baseline information. Research was led by a review of the Historic Environment Record (HER) Data and analysis of other published and readily available material. This was in order to clarify the archaeological potential of the land. A Site visit was then undertaken in order to augment that process. Production of a baseline was followed by additional archaeological data-gathering via geophysical survey and trial trenching. In these ways the potential direct impact of the proposals is well informed. The proposal is for a solar farm. The application area is 26.3ha in size.
