We aim to promote a sustainable vision for Todmorden The completion of this document will provide a sustainable vision for Todmorden which will infl uence future land use within the town and highlight a number of key proposals to tackle the important issues or problems by enhancing the areas existing natural and built assets. identifi able within the town today. The vision will establish a framework to transform Todmorden into a vibrant and creative ‘sustainable community’, one which is “safe, inclusive, well planned, built and run and offer[s] equality of opportunity and good services for all” (Mcdonald et al., 2009, 49). The vision has been developed in line with the objectives or themes outlined within the wider visions for both Todmorden and the Calderdale region, and by considering other relevant national planning and regeneration policies or guidance. Where possible, the results of any community consultation or engagement conducted will also be used to infl uence the development of the vision to ensure that its proposals refl ect the priorities of local people. This ensures that the plans for Todmorden are developed by, and for the benefi t of, the local community. Key Questions: • What is the current image of Todmorden? • What problems or challenges can be identifi ed within the town today? • How can we build on the success of community-based initiatives such as ‘Incredible Edible Todmorden’ to help achieve the targets outlined within this document? • How can new, modern forms of employment opportunities be created within Todmorden? • Where and how can new, affordable housing be built in Todmorden and how can the current housing stock be maintained to a high standard? • How is the management of Transport in Todmorden? • How can visitors be attracted to Todmorden? 1 A Sustainable Vision for Todmorden 1.1 Todmorden Todmorden is a market town which is affectionately know by its residents as ‘Tod’. Todmorden offers an exciting mix of cultural attractions, such as a bustling market, a popular art gallery, Centre Vale Park, areas of historical interest and the Hipperdrome Theatre. Todmorden also provides visitors with the chance to enjoy the surrounding moorlands for fantastic walks and cycling opportunities. Where is Todmorden? Todmorden is located within the Calder Valley at the far west of the county of West Yorkshire and is close to a number of large thriving towns and cities, including Manchester (24 miles), Leeds (33 miles), Bradford (21 miles), Halifax (19 miles) and Rochdale and Burnley (9 miles). Todmorden is served by good transport links to Leeds and Manchester, which are both within easy reach by car (1 hour) or rail (1 hour and 35 minutes respectively). 2 A Sustainable Vision for Todmorden 1.1 Todmorden Todmorden lies within three steep sided valleys in the Pennines, which gives the town its distinctive shape. It is famous for its surrounding moorlands and also for its historic boundary between Yorkshire and Lancashire, which was marked by the River Calder and the Walsden Water which runs through the centre of the town. The administrative border, which previously divided the town between Yorkshire and Lancashire, was altered by the Local Government Act 1888,ensuring that the entirety of Todmorden now lies within West Yorkshire. 3 A Sustainable Vision for Todmorden 1.2 Todmorden: Demographics Todmorden Profi le: An Interview with Jack Jarman • The area has 2.9 people per square kilometre; Occupation: Landscape Artist, member of Todmorden Art • Population: 14,941; • Median age: 39; Group • % Retirees: 20.56%; Location: Todmorden Art Gallery, Todmorden Train Station. • % Unemployed: 3.72%; • % Educated to a degree level: 19.99%; The Todmorden Art Group have established a free gallery at • Full time students: 414; the Train Station which is rented from the Northern Rail group, • Total migrants: 11.82%; • Average distance (km) travelled to fi xed place of work:14.15; with 11 work spaces.

Todmorden was part of the Huddersfi eld township until the 1660's when it became a separate town. Todmorden is a market town and civil parish. The population of the borough of Todmorden Municipal Borough in 1901 was over 25,000, which declined in the 20th century to just under 15,000 in the 2001 census. Boundary deformation The boundary between Yorkshire and Lancashire formerly ran through the centre of Todmorden but the town is now offi cially part of West Yorkshire. The border was altered by the Local Government Act in 1888. Early History In the Middle Ages, Todmorden estates were built in the 13th century by two lords, Saviles of Thornhill and the Radcliffe family of Todmorden Hall. One of the most famous buildings from this era is the Todmorden Old Hall. Blackheath Barrow, Todmorden's Ancient Circle The Ancient Circle is a henge earth circle measuring 100ft, previously known as the Roman Barrow. Excavations in 1898 showed it to be Bronze Age. 19th Century The arrival of the railway changed Todmorden from a Rural Town into a Industrial Town. Todmorden grew at a fast rate during this time, developing as a prosperous Victorian Mill town and becoming a borough in 1886. 20th Century Todmorden's economy declined from the end of the First World War and then accelerated after the Second World War until the 1970's.

  • A Building Stone Atlas of West & South Yorkshire
    Strategic Stone Study A Building Stone Atlas of West & South Yorkshire First published by English Heritage March 2012 Rebranded by Historic England December 2017 Introduction Topographically the west Yorkshire area can be divided relatively simply into nor thern and western areas of high moorland, underlain by the coarse- grained, sandstone- dominated succession of the Millstone Grit Group; a central area of low-lying ground underlain by the mudstones, finer- grained sandstones and coals of the Pennine Coal Measures Group (forming the Yorkshire Coalfield) and, along its eastern margin, a relatively narrow nor th to south strip of red sandstones, mudstones and pale yellow- coloured dolostones (dolomitic limestones) of Permian and Triassic age. The area is cross-cut by a series of river valleys draining from west to east into the Humber Estuar y – the rivers Aire, Calder and Don. These valleys have long provided the major communication and transpor tation routes across the area and, consequently they are also the location of the major population centres of the region. Buildings within these centres, both domestic and industrial, are still largely characterised by their use of locally quarried building stones. The varied geological succession in west Yorkshire has long been exploited to provide a wide range of sandstone for local vernacular building purposes and still suppor ts an impor tant UK and expor t trade, supplying sandstone to many cities and towns in the rest of the UK, and overseas. Even a cursor y examination of the buildings in the villages, towns and cities of the region shows not only how impor tant stone quarr ying has been to the local economy, but also in providing the buildings whose distinctive architecture, forms an inescapable part of the west Yorkshire landscape.There are few settlements in the region where local stone has not been used in the construction of its principal buildings since earliest times.

  • Todmorden Conservation Area Character Appraisal (Appendices) Draft for Consultation
    Todmorden Conservation Area Character Appraisal (Appendices) Draft for Consultation October 2007 www.calderdale.gov.uk 2 Contents APPENDICES A. Planning Policy Framework - legislation and the local plan B. Controls in Conservation Areas C. Key buildings - listed - other important buildings D. Management plan / guidance 3 APPENDIX A PLANNING POLICY FRAMEWORK Section 69 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 defines a conservation area as ‘an area of special architectural or historic interest the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance'. Designation of a conservation area does not prevent change, but it requires recognition of the area's historical value when planning and making decisions about physical development. It is a means of flagging up the special qualities of a place, and the fact that careful consideration will be required when considering development in these areas. Within a conservation area it is necessary to ensure that any works carried out, whether to existing buildings or in terms of new development, should wherever possible make a positive contribution to the area’s character and certainly should not harm or detract from it. It is important to remember that it is not just buildings that create an area’s special interest, but also the spaces between buildings and the relationship of buildings to each other and the surrounding landscape. In addition, development proposals outside a conservation area can affect the setting of a conservation area. Such developments can impact substantially on the area’s character or appearance and will therefore need to be considered carefully, particularly if they are large in scale or in height.
