PLANS to designate part of a Pendle town a conservation area could move a step closer when councillors meet this week.
On Thursday the council's Executive Committee will discuss proposals to declare parts of Earby a conservation area.
It follows a decision to defer the result while ward councillors justified the size of the area.
The executive were asked to recommend the area be designated after the West Craven Committee met in April and modified the original plans.
A report to the council says if passed the area will include three parts of Earby which run into each other.
These are the 19th-century town between Railway and Warrington Street, Aspen Lane and Green End Road, the old village east of this to the Red Lion pub and the Mill Bridge area following the line of Mill Brow Road and Birch Hall Lane.
The report recommends the area is designated when councillors meet at Nelson Town Hall at 7pm.
