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.

Somewhere in their heritage and upbringing these characteristics were dominant. How I wish they were still alive to enjoy with us the new bits of family history we are finding, for clues they passed along have led to many fascinating discoveries. These two brothers, Ab and Ed as they were called, only children of SE (Ed) and Aubin Fry Clarkson, actually knew a bit more about some of their mother’s family lines. This has led to exciting finds on Fry, Anderson, Bolling, Markham, Cole, Rolfe, Fleming, Champe, Slaughter, Walker, Micou, Hutchins, Brooks, Winthrop, Pintard, and even our honored bloodline to the Princess Pocahontas and her powerful father Powhatan! These families were early in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Virginia.

  • Geological Map Extracts
    Geological Map Extracts This part of the report contains extracts of geological maps taken from the 1:50 000 scale BGS Digital Geological Map of Great Britain (DiGMapGB-50). The geological information in DiGMapGB is separated into four themes: artificial ground, landslide deposits, superficial deposits and bedrock, shown here in separate maps. The fifth ‘combined geology’ map superimposes all four of these themes, to show the geological formations that occur at the surface, just beneath the soil. More information about DiGMapGB-50 and how the various geological units are classified can be found on the BGS website (www.bgs.ac.uk). The maps are labelled with two-part computer codes that indicate the name of the geological unit and its composition. Descriptions of the units listed in the map keys may be available in the BGS Lexicon of Named Rock Units, which is also on the BGS website (http://www.bgs.ac.uk/lexicon/). If available, these descriptions can be found by searching against the first part of the computer code used on the maps. Please treat this labelling with caution in areas of complex geology, where some of the labels may overlap occurrences of several geological formations. If in doubt, please contact BGS Enquiries for clarification. In the map keys the geological units are listed in order of their age, as defined in the BGS Lexicon, with the youngest first. However, where units are of the same defined age they are listed alphabetically and this may differ from the actual geological sequence. Date: 26 April 2011 Page: 1 of 6 © NERC, 2011.
