SST577 - Eccleshall EUS Report
A report on the historic character assessment for Eccleshall, one of 24 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 reports for the towns are divided into two sections. Section one covers the location and historical development of the towns. 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.
Fourteen Historic Urban Character Areas (HUCAs) have been identified in the project for Colton.
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.
An additional summary report 'Planning and Historic Towns in Staffordshire: A Guide to the Staffordshire Extensive Urban Survey' has also been produced to facilitate to the use of the EUS in relation to planning and development etc (see SST633).
