The Church of St Michael and Cotleigh House are both located within the dispersed village of Cotleigh. The church is set within a secluded churchyard but has a tower which is locally prominent. The church wider setting largely comprises agricultural fields of pasture. Views from the church towards the Site are entirely screened by trees on a ridgeline between the Site and the church with the Site mostly occupying the far side of a large hill. Cotleigh House is set within a secluded gardens bounded by high hedges. Views towards the house towards the Site are screened by the church. As such the Site is not considered to be within the setting of the church or the house and development within it would cause no harm to their significance.
