  • Five Year Housing Supply Statement for Chorley
    Five Year Housing Supply Statement for Chorley May 2020 (Updated March 2021) Introduction 1. The National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework) sets out that local planning authorities should identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide a minimum of five years’ worth of housing against their housing requirement. 2. This statement covers the five year period 1st April 2020 – 31st March 2025. It sets out the housing requirement for the five year period and assesses the land supply available to deliver the requirement. 3. Overall the statement concludes that there is sufficient land available across the Borough with a 11.2 year deliverable housing supply over the period 2020-2025. Five Year Housing Requirement 4. Central Lancashire Core Strategy Policy 4 sets out a housing requirement of 417 dwellings per annum in Chorley over the period 2010-2026 which is the starting point for calculating the five year supply. This equates to a total of 6,672 dwellings over the plan period. At April 2010 Chorley had prior under- provision of 162 dwellings, which Policy 4 requires the Council to make up over the remainder of the plan period. Therefore, at April 2010 the housing requirement for the Borough was 6,834 dwellings. 5. Table 1 sets out housing completions over the period 1st April 2010 to 31st March 2020. It identifies that 6,010 dwellings have been completed in the period and there is a surplus of 1,678 dwellings above the requirement for that period (taking into account the prior under-provision of 162 dwellings).

  • (X0.95) As "Modern," Both Val- Ues Treated As Constants, with AD 1950 As the Reference Year
    [RADIOCARBON, VOL 29, No. 1, 1987, P 78-99] HARWELL RADIOCARBON MEASUREMENTS V A J WALKER, R S KEYZOR*, and R L OTLET Isotope Measurements Laboratory, Nuclear Applications Centre, Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell, Oxfordshire, OXl l ORA, UK INTRODUCTION The results presented in this list include some recently measured sam- ples (1984) but mostly ones from our earlier years of operation which had not been previously published in RADIOCARBON. It is the first of a number of special lists prepared over the last year so that the backlog of unpub- lished dates of this laboratory will be cleared. The samples are all archaeo- logic from the United Kingdom most of which have originated from "res- cue"-type excavations. As in previous lists, all samples were measured by liquid scintillation counting (Otlet & Warchal,1978), and the error term quoted is the 10r stan- dard deviation estimate of the full replicate sample reproducibility (Otlet, 1979). The list was produced semi-automatically from the Harwell data base stored on the main frame computer using the procedures described in Otlet and Walker (1983). Calculations are based on the Libby half-life of 5568 years, using NBS oxalic acid standard (x0.95) as "modern," both val- ues treated as constants, with AD 1950 as the reference year. All results are corrected for fractionation according to the quoted b13C (wrt PDB) values measured in this laboratory. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We wish to acknowledge the work of our colleagues, G A Bradburn and D G Humphreys, with the laboratory measurements and of E F Westall, S E Hasler, and M Gibson with the preparation of the data in computer readable form.

  • A Short History of the Township of Rivington in the County of Lancaster
    ^|S4ii^^^Si^:liif:;ivills^'; THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF IN THE COUNTY OF LANCASTER WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF THE CI)urcl) anil (grammar ^cl)ool BY WM. FERGUSSON IRVINE PRINTED AT THE BALLANTYNE PRESS, EDINBURGH 1904 57848^ ENGLISH LOCAL •r. •-a uj ^ PA PREFACE intention of this book is not to present the reader THEwith a dry archaeological account of the history of the township. The aim of the writer has been rather to put together a consecutive account of the descent of the Manor and the history of the Church, the old Nonconformist Chapel, and the Grammar School in a popular way, choosing in the main such incidents in the story of Rivington as illus- trate the manners and customs of our forefathers. To some people an account of this kind makes no appeal, but the writer ventures to hope that there are many who, while not attracted by the minutiae of antiquarian research, are sufficiently interested in a general way in the history of their neighbourhood to follow the story with pleasure. The idea of this book originated with Mr. W. H. Lever. When talking over the history of the countryside, Mr. Lever suggested that the scattered facts known about Rivington should be collected into a consecutive story, and this book is the outcome. It is hardly necessary to add how much the writer owes to Mr. Lever for the great interest he has taken in the work as it progressed, and for his constant encouragement and help, especially in giving full access to the Rivington charters and documents, many of which are dated as early as the thirteenth century.

In order to understand why it is there in a comparatively remote place one needs to know a little of the history of worship in Rivington since the Reformation.
