Permission/Marine Consent: Post Planning Application: Applicant will not post a copy of the Planning Application Post Planning Permission: Applicant will not post a copy of the Planning Permission Uploaded Planning Applications/Permissions: Threat Threat: Several proposals over the last 5 or 6 years have chipped away at the integrity of the wall, because, in the absence of scheduling, EH was not consulted. The boundaries of Kerrybullock Park and the New Consols Mine site were due to be scheduled under the Monument Protection Programme, and preparatory work was being done, but halted when the MPP was abandoned about 5 - 6 years ago, and the whole process has been in abeyance since. (1) The local farmer has successfully gained a Stewardship agreement from Natural England, which has involved refacing part of the wall with stone imported from elsewhere in the country. The refacing has also changed the profile of the wall by making the inner face vertical in preparation for fencing. Scheduling is vital because more work under the agreement is being programmed for the forthcoming months. (2) At Clitters a new mobile home and an agricultural tool shed have been constructed up against the wall, adversely affecting its integrity. Neither required planning permission, so objections as to their proximity to the wall could not be raised. (3) In Luckett villagee 2 planning applications have been made concerning buildings sitting on the wall. It is vital that the boundary features are scheduled so that local people can raise concerns and EH can be consulted. Reasons Historical Interest: Kerrybullock park dates back to at least 1272, and in 1337 it became a Duchy of Cornwall deer park, one of nine in the county. It was disparked in Henry VIII's reign, but was leased out as one unit within its ancient bounds even into modern times. Because it was held by the Duchy of Cornwall, the park and subsequent lessees of the park are well documented in the Duchy archives. Its ancient bounds were shown in a Survey of 1830 and remained largely in tact into the 1980s when the farmland within the park was sold. Deer Park Farm border follows most of the S, W and E boundaries of the park. The Duchy retains woodland bordering the N boundary, but elsewhere ownership has become fragmented. For research see Bibliographical Notes Archaeological Interest: The boundaries comprise banks with stone faces, standing several metres high in places. Sometimes the stone faced banks are topped with hedges, sometimes they are free-standing walls, and along the parts of the S, N and W boundaries they drop vertically down for several metres holding back soil behind almost level with the top, while soil of the other side has slipped downhill. The continuity of the park enclosure for several miles enclosing 465 acres is a rare and remarkable survival. The walled park enclosure is first mentioned in the Caption of Seisin in 1337 and it seems likely that the foundations date back to the park's origin in the C12th. The park's history since disparkment in the 1530s would lead one to suspect that while the boundaries might have been repaired no substantial rebuilding or realignment subsequently took place. This is a fine upstanding example of a medieval park enclosure. The banked wall is also associated with ditches in places. Its encircling access routes have largely become lanes, but two trackways at Clitters and from Old Mill to High Trip Lane continuing over High Trip Lane towards Clitters survive and could be incorporated into the scheduling.
