  • Trawden Forest Neighbourhood Plan (2018-2030)
    Trawden Forest Neighbourhood Plan (2018-2030) Final Version Trawden Forest Parish Council Autumn 2018 Foreword This Neighbourhood Plan sets out planning policies for the parish of Trawden Forest. It has been developed with the involvement of local people to ensure that they have a say in how their parish will develop up to 2030. It adds detail to the Pendle Local Plan and will be used alongside it to help determine planning applications in the parish. The Trawden Forest Neighbourhood Plan is the responsibility of Trawden Forest Parish Council and has been developed by a Steering Group consisting of Parish Council members and other volunteers, with professional advice from Pendle Council’s Planning Department. It has been supported by Pendle Borough Council and received financial support from the Government’s Neighbourhood Planning Grant Scheme. One of the main objectives of the Neighbourhood Plan is to direct the amount of housing to be built in Trawden up to 2030 – a figure established in the Pendle Local Plan – to the most appropriate and sustainable locations within the Parish. Where possible the sites selected will help to protect and enhance existing infrastructure assets and provide a positive benefit to residents. As you read through the Plan, you will see how this can be achieved. There is however, much more to a Neighbourhood Plan than housing development. In the questionnaire delivered to every household in September 2016 we asked local residents for their hopes, concerns and ideas for the parish, both now and in the future. From these responses we identified several areas of importance to local people.

  • Lancashire Behaviour Support Tool
    Lancashire Behaviour Support Tool Introduction Lancashire is committed to achieving excellent outcomes for its children and young people. Our aim for all our young people is for them to have the best possible start in life so that all have the opportunity to fulfill their learning potential. Schools and other settings should be safe and orderly places where all children and young people can learn and develop. The consequences of behaviour which challenges others can, if not addressed effectively, impact negatively on individual pupils and groups of pupils. The need for the Local Authority, schools and other partners to work together to address behavioural issues is essential if we are to promote high standards of achievement and attainment for all. The purpose of the Behaviour Support tool is to produce accessible, and accurate information for schools and settings in one place, on sources of training, support and advice led by Lancashire services and clear pathways in relation to meeting pupil's social, emotional and behavioural needs. Aims 1. To develop safe, calm and ordered school environments within which pupils are able to learn and develop and thrive. 2. To develop skills for emotional literacy, positive social relationships and emotional health and well-being among pupils to take into their adult lives beyond school. 3. To Improve capacity within our schools and other settings to include all our pupils including those children and young people who, at times, may present very challenging behaviour, as a result of a variety of factors originating both within the child or young person or resulting from their social environment.

  • Pendle Local List of Heritage Assets – Version 2, 27Th January 2021
    Pendle Local List of Heritage Assets – Version 2, 27th January 2021 Trawden Forest Proposed Entries for the List This document has been prepared by a group of parishioners on behalf of Trawden Forest Parish Council. The Trawden Forest Neighbourhood Plan, which was ‘made’ by Pendle Council early in 2019, included a Policy (6) which protects the parish’s Heritage Assets. The principal focus of that Policy is the protection of non-designated heritage assets, and when the Neighbourhood Plan was being developed it was decided that this protection should be achieved by means of a Local List of these assets. The development of a Local List was discussed with Pendle Council in May 2018 and it was agreed that once a comprehensive list of Trawden Forest’s Heritage Assets had been compiled, Pendle would review it and take the proposal through to committee for approval. As early as 2005 Pendle Council intended to set up a Local List for the borough, and one of the steps towards this was the commissioning of a study of Trawden Forest Conservation Area by Friends of Pendle Heritage Archaeological Group. Their report was published in January 2005. That report (An Assessment of the Special Historic and Architectural Interest, Character and Appearance of the Trawden Forest Conservation Area) contained the following paragraph: Pendle Council does not have a formal list of local buildings of interest but intends to draw up a list through the process of surveying its area in partnership with Parish Councils. This is outlined in the Council document Laying Foundations – Built Heritage Strategy.

    2016 marks the 200th anniversary of Charlotte Brontë’s birth in 1816. ith her sisters Anne and Emily and brother Branwell, Charlotte often crossed the border over the moors from Yorkshire, drawing ideas from Lancashire places and colourful histories. Nine miles as the crow flies from her home in Haworth, Charlotte was inspired by the atmospheric ruin of Wycoller Hall. She re-named the desolate manor house Ferndean Manor and made it the place of Jane’s moving reconciliation with Rochester at the end of her world-famous novel.

  • 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

In keeping with Anglo-Saxon tradition, the site Brontës was named after the prominent tree in the area and so they chose ‘Wic-alr’ meaning the dairy farm among the alders. Wycoller was an agricultural settlement until the 18th century when the manufacture of woollens and worsted in Pendle on handlooms became an important industry. The site has been a popular picnic spot for family outings with a tea room, craft centre and visitor information centre to enjoy. Circular Walk Seven bridges span the stream beside which Wycoller is built, ranging from an ancient packhorse bridge to one single slab of stone believed to be over 1,000 years old. Wycoller Hall Wycoller Hall is the best known feature of the hamlet, built in 1550 but crumbling since the death of its last squire in 1818. It was thought to have been used as a model for Ferndean Manor in ‘Jane Eyre’. In the novel, Jane was reunited here with her blind, maimed Rochester.
