As part of the Built Environment group of the Calne Community Neighbourhood Plan I was asked to create a map showing the development of Calne over time and the dates of some of the developments in the area.
This is to ensure that the character of each area is taken into account in the technical documents of the plan. Eventually, those documents will be what developers and planners will need to refer to when designing developments and making planning decisions to ensure that they are high quality and context-driven.
There are two primary layers. The first, labelled 'Development Periods by Colour' has the developments in ascending date order. Up until the 1900s, each century a separate colour. Then a different colour for the years between 1900-1949. Finally, each decade from the 1950s to now has its own colour.
The second layer, labelled 'Calne Through the Ages', shows how Calne has grown from the Early Medieval period, through the 1700s, 1800s, and finally the 1900s.
