Extensive Urban Survey - Hampshire and the Isle of Wight

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Extensive Urban Survey was funded by English Heritage as part of their national programme of Extensive Urban Surveys. The survey covers 30 historic small towns and provides a review of their historical and archaeological significance. For each town there are downloadable Archaeological Assessments and a Strategy Report. The Archaeological Assessment report summarises the history and known archaeological data of the town, presents an analysis of the plan of the settlement and identifies areas of significant modern development, leading to the identification of areas of archaeological importance. The Strategy report aims to provide guidance about the management of the archaeological resource in each town. This may be adopted as Supplementary Planning Guidance by District and Borough Councils.
