August 2016 1. Introduction This study forms part of the evidence base for the Wyre Local Plan. It details research undertaken by the Wyre council planning policy team into the role and function of the borough’s settlements, describing why this work has been undertaken, the methodology used and the results. Understanding the nature of different settlements and the relative roles they can play is critical to developing and delivering local plan strategy and individual policies. With this in mind, the aim of this Settlement Study is two-fold. First, to establish a baseline position in terms of understanding the level of economic and social infrastructure present in each settlement and how this might influence the appropriate nature and scale of development. It will provide evidence for discussions with stakeholders and developers about the nature of supporting infrastructure needed to ensure that future development is sustainable. Second, to identify, analyse and rank the borough’s settlements according to a range of indicators, and by doing so to inform the definition of the local plan settlement hierarchy (see Section 3 below).

The Government is pursuing a number of policies and initiatives that aim to empower local communities and give citizens the opportunity to help shape decisions about the way public services are designed and delivered to them. As part of this agenda the Government recognises that democratically elected town and parish councils - the most local tier of local government - can play a key role in meeting this aim.

  • The Early History of Man's Activities in the Quernmore Area
    I Contrebis 2000 The Early History of Man's Activities in the Quernmore Area. Phil Hudson Introduction This paper hopes to provide a chronological outline of the events which were important in creating the landscape changes in the Quernmore forest area. There was movement into the area by prehistoric man and some further incursions in the Anglo- Saxon and the Norse periods leading to Saxon estates and settled agricultural villages by the time of the Norman Conquest. These villages and estates were taken over by the Normans, and were held of the King, as recorded in Domesday. The Post-Nonnan conquest new lessees made some dramatic changes and later emparked, assarted and enclosed several areas of the forest. This resulted in small estates, farms and vaccaries being founded over the next four hundred years until these enclosed areas were sold off by the Crown putting them into private hands. Finally there was total enclosure of the remaining commons by the 1817 Award. The area around Lancaster and Quernmore appears to have been occupied by man for several thousand years, and there is evidence in the forest landscape of prehistoric and Romano-British occupation sites. These can be seen as relict features and have been mapped as part of my on-going study of the area. (see Maps 1 & 2). Some of this field evidence can be supported by archaeological excavation work, recorded sites and artif.act finds. For prehistoric occupation in the district random finds include: mesolithic flints,l polished stone itxe heads at Heysham;'worked flints at Galgate (SD 4827 5526), Catshaw and Haythomthwaite; stone axe and hammer heads found in Quernmore during the construction of the Thirlmere pipeline c1890;3 a Neolithic bowl, Mortlake type, found in Lancaster,o a Bronze Age boat burial,s at SD 5423 5735: similar date fragments of cinerary urn on Lancaster Moor,6 and several others discovered in Lancaster during building works c1840-1900.7 Several Romano-British sites have been mapped along with finds of rotary quems from the same period and associated artifacts.

  • Bowland Tea Shops
    1 Forest of Bowland Tea Shops FOREST OF BOWLAND A place to enjoy and keep special 2 Forest of Bowland A Place to Enjoy and Keep Special Expanses of sky above the wild dramatic sweep of open moorland. Gentle and tidy lowlands, criss-crossed with dry stone walls and dotted with picturesque farms and villages. This is a place like no other, a place with a strong sense of stepping back in time to a forgotten part of the English countryside, a place known as Bowland – the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). 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. The Forest of Bowland was designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1964 under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1949) and was recognised by the government as being of equal status as National Parks by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act (CRoW) 2000.
