Historic Battlefield
The Register of Historic Battlefields in England is compiled and maintained by English Heritage. The inclusion of a site on this Register brings with it no additional statutory controls, but it is a material consideration when determining planning applications in the area.
The historic interest of a battlefield is judged by the documentary evidence that is available to pin point the site and the surviving physical features, such as the topography and archaeological evidence. Bradford Metropolitan District has one historic battlefield included on the Register: Adwalton Moor 1643 which extends into the districts of Kirklees and Leeds.
