The Bacup masterplan proposed an 'eco-town' concept as a visionary urban regeneration model as part of an area action plan for Bacup - the best preserved mill town in the country.
_____________________________________
HLP prepared an Area Action Plan under the LDF Planning System which proposed an eco-town concept as a visionary urban regeneration model to promote long term social and environmental sustainability.
The AAP has a strong heritage theme and capitalises on the geographical assets and landscape setting of the upper Irwell Valley.
Bacup is reputed to be the best preserved mill town in the country. However, it also suffers from a range of problems associated with housing market failure.
The ideas have been developed through a robust consultation process, and HLP has produced a residential design guide as an aid to sustaining high quality development consistent with the eco-town theme with a key role for communities.
