    Nutrient Planning Committee NFNPA 303/19 17 September 2019 Nutrient neutrality and new development – update NFNPA 303/19 NEW FOREST NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY PLANNING COMMITTEE – 17 SEPTEMBER 2019 NUTRIENT NEUTRALITY AND NEW DEVELOPMENT – UPDATE Report by: Steve Avery, Executive Director Strategy & Planning Summary: This report provides an update on the need for new development to achieve ‘nutrient neutrality’ in order to avoid potential adverse impacts on the internationally protected sites of the Solent. The report summarises the main issues that have been raised recently by Natural England with local planning authorities across the Solent coast; before setting out details of the package of measures which will form the basis for mitigation. The report also recommends that the Authority works with the Partnership for South Hampshire and other partners to development a comprehensive, long-term mitigation strategy for the Solent. Recommendation: Members approve the overall approach to identifying mitigation measures as set out in this report; and endorse the principle of working with the Partnership for South Hampshire to develop a comprehensive, long-term mitigation strategy for the Solent. 1. Introduction 1.1 This report outlines the main issues surrounding nitrates in the protected Solent habitats; the recent advice from Natural England on the matter; and the range of potential measures available to form an interim mitigation solution. 1.2 Under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations (2017, as amended), the Authority is a ‘competent authority’ and must therefore undertake an ‘appropriate assessment’ of any planning decisions that are likely to have a significant effect on a European site. In the context of the Solent this includes the Solent & Southampton Water Special Protection Area and the Solent Maritime Special Area of Conservation.

  • Obituary. T. D. Atkinson, F.R.I.B.A. Thomas Dinham
    PAPER'S AND PROCEEDINGS 173 OBITUARY. T. D. ATKINSON, F.R.I.B.A. HOMAS DINHAM. ATKINSON died on the 29th of December 1948, aged 84. Architect, antiquary and author, This greatness lay even more in the power of his personality than in the quiet competence of his work in many fields. Although widely learned in several departments of archaeology, he possessed true humility and a whimsical wit, often turned against his own foibles. His classical outlook belonged more to the 18th than the. 19th century, but he was inspired by deep feeling uncommon in the Age of Taste. Injustice moved him to fierce indignation and he could be stern with folly, but he met life with kindness, generosity and nobility of spirit. Aided by an exceptional memory, he methodically amassed architectural facts under subject headings during a period of well over' half-a-century ; these extensive- collections now belong to the Society of Antiquaries; Local Style in English Architecture, published' in the last year of his life, summarised part of this garnered treasure as an introduction to the more detailed treatment he had projected, and for which " The Sources of Hampshire Architecture in Past Times " {Proceedings, Hants Field Club, XV, pt. 2) and " Local Character in the Ancient Architecture' • of Cambridgeshire" {Proceedings, Cambridge Antiquarian Society, XL) were drafts. Among his many, other published works, the great Architectural History of the Benedictine Monastery, at Ely (1933) takes pride of place, but Hampshire should treasure his Survey of the Street Architecture of Winchester (1934), an outstanding record and work of catholic appreciation which ought perpetually to be had in remembrance—and in.print.
