Coventry Historic Landscape Characterisation Final Report
Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) is a desk-based analysis of the historic development of the landscape, principally from cartographic sources. The Coventry study, carried out by Conservation and Archaeology Team of Coventry City Council and funded by English Heritage, is part of a wider project aimed at establishing a new information resource on the historic character of the English landscape.
Within Coventry, the main objective of the HLC is to ensure that the historic environment is fully incorporated into all future development for the city. It should be used at the early stages of planning at a strategic level and should guide detailed research at later stages of design. The report includes details of how to access the HLC.
