Historic Town Assessment Report
Lancashire Historic Towns Survey.
As part of a national programme, the Lancashire Historic Towns
Survey was undertaken by the County Archaeology Service from 2001 to 2006, with the
support of English Heritage and the fourteen Local Planning Authorities of
Lancashire.
It comprised a three-stage survey of the historical and
archaeological aspects of each of 33 historic towns across the county, in terms of
structures, buildings and the individual character of neighbourhoods. Whilst it
concentrated on assessing the built environment, it also identified areas that may
contain preserved archaeological remains.
Each of the 33 towns is described and assessed in a series of
Historic Environment Guidance Strategy Reports. Whilst these are mainly intended
for the use of the County Archaeology Service and the Local Planning Authorities,
they will be of use to anyone who has an interest in the towns.
Within the reports we have described the development of the town
and the various character areas that they can be divided into. Zones that merit
special management policies have been identified and a large number of new sites
added to the Lancashire Sites and Monuments Record and existing records upgraded.
The final stage of the work is to produce, for the planners, a series of constraint
maps and planning guidance.
