Situated in NorthWest England, covering 803 square kilometres (300 sq miles) of rural Lancashire and North Yorkshire, the Forest of Bowland AONB is in two parts. The famous landmark of Pendle Hill is geologically linked to the main upland block but separated by the broad valley of the River Ribble. The area surrounding this outlier is known locally as the Forest of Pendle, whilst being under the umbrella of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty title and designation. 3 Forest of Bowland A Place to Enjoy and Keep Special The Forest of Bowland AONB is protected by law to ensure the conservation and enhancement of its natural beauty, not just for the present, but also for future generations. AONBs have been regarded for generations as treasured areas with special character, and are designated for the quality of their landscapes.

  • Item 12 Contaminated Land Strategy 2015
    1 2 Executive Summary Industrial change and demographic shift during the 20th century resulted in the need for large scale re-organisation of our towns and cities. Industries moved out or disappeared altogether, leaving large brownfield gaps in our urban landscape and a legacy of contaminated land. Pendle Borough Councils Contaminated Land Strategy 2015 - 20 has been developed to address this legacy and to meet the legal requirements of Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. The purpose of the regime is for all local authorities to carry out periodic inspections of their area to identify sites that could be determined as contaminated land if they meet the criteria of the statutory definition and ensure appropriate action is taken to make the land suitable for use. Alongside this primary piece of legislation, other secondary legislative regimes play an important role in ensuring that further contamination is minimised or prevented and that land remediation is secured through the planning process. This Strategy sets out how the Council proposes to implement its inspection duties over a period of five years and contribute towards the sustainable development of the Borough whilst protecting human health and property as well as the wider environment of controlled waters and ecosystems. 3 Contents Chapter 1: Introduction and Overview 6 1.1 Background to Legislation 6 1.2 Relevant Legislation 6 1.3 Explanation of terms 7 1.4 National Objectives 7 1.5 General LA Policy 8 1.6 Roles and Responsibilities 9 1.7 Regulatory Role of the

Each generic landscape type has a distinct character with similar physical influences (underlying geology, land form, pedology) and indeed a common history of land management such as the enclosure of moorland edges to create ‘in-bye land’.

Henry VI lived for a time at the Hall in unhappy circumstances after the Battle of Hexham in 1464, but his hiding place was discovered by Yorkist sympathisers the Talbots of neighbouring Bashall, who surrounded the house with a small force, but failed to trap the King. He escaped through a window with three trusty friends, but was later captured in Clitheroe Wood. Above the gatehouse the hall bears the inscription "I will raise up his ruins and I will build it as in the days of old." Within the house the King's flight is commemorated in the carved panels of a sixteenth-century cupboard. Not far from the village and close to Waddow Hall will be found Peg 0' Nell's well, associated with the legend of a ghost that created mi ~ chief throughout the Ribble Valley. Idle Peg, a servant at the Hall, seems to have aroused in her mistress a wish that Peg should fall and break her neck, which Peg obligingly did down at the well. Her ghost not only haunted the district, but claimed a life every seventh year until the bridge at Brungerley was made. Waddington Parish Church is interesting chiefly for its fifteenth­ century tower, the remainder being largely a restoration of 190I.
