SST587 - Tamworth EUS Report.pdf
A report on the historic character assessment for Tamworth, one of 23 towns covered by the Staffordshire Extensive Urban Survey project.
The main aim of the Staffordshire EUS is to understand the development and the current historic character of the medieval towns within the county.
The project report for Tamworth is divided into three sections. Section one covers the location and historical development of each town. The history covers the earliest evidence for human activity through to the establishment of the town in the medieval period and through to the present day. Section two covers the characterisation of the town through the creation of Historic Urban Character Areas (HUCAs). The historical significance of each HUCA is assessed and recommendations are put forward. Section three comprises the assessment of the historic character and heritage assets of the rural parts of the Borough. The rural fringe has been subdivided into Historic Environment Character Zones (HECZs) and the assessment follows the methodology of Section two.
Thirty-seven Historic Urban Character Areas (HUCAs) have been identified for the built environment and eleven Historic Environment Character Zones (HECZs) have been identified for the rural fringe of the Borough.
A final report (SST590) summarises the overall findings of the survey, sets out the legislative and planning framework within which the documents can be used and sets out research priorities for Staffordshire's historic urban centres.
The final report also includes an appendix which provides definitions of the character types identified and used in the project.
