Project E was an opportunity for Cornwall Council Strategic Historic Environment Service to contribute to understanding of the suitability of SHINE data in the context of mapping for woodland creation. The project was funded by the Forestry Commission who aim to evolve the existing SHINE dataset to make it suitable for woodland creation by improving its methodology, produce an online targeting and opportunities map for afforestation, and feed historic environment data into their existing sensitivity mapping. A discrete project area, the Carnmenellis National Character Area (NCA) (Historic England 2020), was chosen, and within this the Low Risk Area (LRA) (Forestry Commission 2023) was singled out for study. This LRA of 9221ha represents roughly 3% of the entire LRA for Cornwall (291667ha), with roughly 11% of HER entries for the same area (Reynolds 2022). This project area was recorded in 15 days of Project time, including the creation of new SHINE records and amendments to existing records where these were required as well as the creation and updating of sites and monuments records in the HER. An additional area beyond Carnmenellis primarily within the Cornish Killas Character Area 152 was explored with the remaining 5 days of recording time remaining in the original project specification. This area added approximately 3400ha to the original recording target. The aim of the project was to provide feedback on the suitability of the SHINE dataset as a means of informing new woodland planting, while applying existing SHINE methodology and criteria. Results from this project include recommendations for amendments to the existing methodology, to make it suitable for informing woodland creation. Recommendations: 1.Update the level of data available via SHINE attribute tables so that applicants have a clearer understanding of the reasoning behind polygonization of some sites. Hyperlinks to local HER data would be helpful. 2.Amend the recording process in the HBSMR to include sub-categories for Woodland and Agri-environment schemes so these can be recorded and audited as distinct processes. 3.Update SHINE recording criteria to accommodate site types that currently do not qualify, such as dense or multiple artefact scatters. 4.Ensure time and funding are set aside for retrospective amendments to legacy SHINE data to accommodate changes. 5.Upgrade the polygonization guidelines to limit problems caused by the proximity rule. 6.Provide up-to-date training for user...
