Sites Between 1.5km and 3 Km of the Application Area
10.4.83 There are a number of recorded sites located between 1.5km and 3km of the application area
(Figure 10.5).
10.4.84 There are two Scheduled Monuments between 1.5km and 3km of the application area and
within the ZTV.
10.4.85 SAM 5012 is Kennetpans Distillery, located some 2.1km southeast of the south-eastern
boundary of the application area. The monument comprises a large distillery with ancillary
buildings and a small harbour, built during the 1770s to supply the London gin distillers with
malt spirit. The principal building is three storeys in height and roofless. The ancillary buildings
are lower in height but similarly roofless. The mouth of the adjacent creek is also scheduled.
The buildings are very overgrown with trees and other vegetation.
10.4.86 The primary setting of the SAM is functional and comprises its relationship with the River Forth
along which malt spirit was shipped. An area of woodland to the southwest of the buildings
reduces or removes any views towards the proposed wind energy development from the
scheduled part of the creek. The buildings are located on the east side of the access road
leading to them and views towards the proposed wind energy development are limited by the
adjacent garden centre buildings and trees and belt planting to the northwest.
10.4.87 The proposed wind energy development would have no physical impact on the SAM and a
negligible impact on its setting. The effect of the proposed wind energy development on the
SAM would be slight adverse.
10.4.88 SAM 1756 is Airth Market Cross. This is located in the High Street and is surrounded by the
buildings of the centre of the settlement. It is unlikely that in practice there would be any
intervisibility with the proposed wind energy development.
10.4.89 The proposed wind energy development would have no physical impact on the SAM and the
magnitude of impact on its setting would be no change. The effect of the proposed wind energy
development on the SAM would be neutral.
10.4.90 There are three Category A Listed Buildings between 1.5km and 3km of the application area
and within the ZTV. These are:
