Registered charity no. 201081. 1 HOOK PARISH LOCAL BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN SUMMARY Biodiversity has become integrated into the UK’s vocabulary. All sectors of society including National and Local Government, statutory agencies, non-government organisations, wildlife recording groups and education institutions, have due regard for biodiversity in setting their objectives. “Biodiversity is a quality of life issue. It is an integral part of our surroundings, giving us pleasure, interest, knowledge and understanding. It is an aspect of the overall aim of sustainable development to ensure a decent quality of life for all, now and for generations to come, and will be one key test of the success of this aim.” (UK Sustainable Development Strategy) In order to achieve these objectives there needs to be a bottom up as well as a top down approach. Strategies and policies are instrumental in driving forward legislation, but this needs to be translated into action on the ground. This is best done by the implementation of Local Biodiversity Action Plans (LBAP). The main functions of these plans are: • To translate national, regional and county biodiversity targets into effective action at the local level. • To consider species and habitat priorities at the local level, in terms of rarity or their importance to the local community. • To co-ordinate a wide partnership of individuals and organisations, to deliver action in the most cost effective way, without duplication. • To raise awareness with all sectors of society, including policy makers, about the importance of an area’s biodiversity. • To map out and consider opportunities for the enhancement of biodiversity in the future. • To provide a framework for conservation and a means by which progress can be assessed. Hook Parish Council has commissioned the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust to produce a review of the biodiversity within Hook Parish and to identify how that biodiversity can be protected, enhanced and maintained in the future. 2 HOOK PARISH LOCAL BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 1 SECTION 4: THREATS TO SUMMARY 2 BIODIVERSITY 23 HOW TO USE HOOK PARISH LOCAL 4.1 What issues are affecting the BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN 4 biodiversity of Hook Parish? 23 WHO IS HOOK LBAP FOR? 4 SECTION 5: ACTIONS FOR BIODIVERSITY IN HOOK PARISH 25 SECTION 1: BACKGROUND TO BIODIVERSITY 6 5.1 A Vision for the future 25 1.1 What is Biodiversity? 6 5.2 Booklets 1.2 From Rio to Hook Parish ....! 7 1 of 6: The River Whitewater and Floodplain 2 of 6: The Heathland SECTION 2: WHAT IS AN LBAP? 8 3 of 6: Ancient Woodlands 4 of 6: The Urban Environment 2.1 What is and LBAP? 8 5 of 6: Ponds 6 of 6: Farmland Biodiversity 2.2 What will a Biodiversity Action Plan for Hook Parish Achieve? 9 SECTION 6: PROGRESS OF THE LBAP FOR HOOK PARISH 27 2.3 How can you get involved? 10 REFERENCES 28 2.4 Useful contacts 11 FIGURES 2.5 How will the plan be implemented and reviewed? 13 1.

  • SOME MEMORIES of HOOK 100 YEARS AGO1 [Written in About 1930, Annotated by Nigel Bell 1998, Transcribed by Martin Whittaker 1998]
    SOME MEMORIES OF HOOK 100 YEARS AGO1 [Written in about 1930, annotated by Nigel Bell 1998, transcribed by Martin Whittaker 1998] Perhaps I may be allowed to generalise before I start along the road I wish to travel. 'Hook': time and, time again has the question cropped up as to the origin of the name. It is a bit obscure but comes, I understand, from the Saxon Hoc meaning a piece of metal bent into a curve for catching, holding and sustaining anything: a snare, a trap, or from the Welsh Hoc meaning a scythe, a curved instrument for cutting grain – a sickle, and in this connection it is generally supposed by authorities that the name originated from the curved highway2. In passing I might say that there are about fourteen 'Hooks' and each one has, or had, a curved road passing through it. Hook itself owes its importance to being situated on this great highway extending from London to the West. During the centuries of the past British, Roman, Saxon, Dane3, Norman and the various European Traders to the great Fairs and Markets have passed on conveyances of their day with their goods and chattels. Kings, Queens, Statesmen, Soldiers and Sailors, all kinds of men, both high and low have passed through our humble hamlet. About a mile from this road, as you all know, are the remains of a castle just across Bartley Heath - generally spoken of as Hook Common. We hardly claim this as part of Hook proper, although it is only in the next parish, and about as close to this Band Hall as it is to Odiham church.

  • Newnham: a History of the Parish and Its Church
    NEWNHAM: A HISTORY OF THE PARISH AND ITS CHURCH SUMMARY Newnham is a long-established community. It dates from well before 1130, which is the earliest written reference. It has some unusual features, for example being built on a ridge away from water. Its church, despite being renovated by the Victorians, yet contains many interesting elements, including a wonderful Norman chancel arch and a carved-in-stone memorial to a priest of the 13th century – comparable to a brass but in this case perhaps unique in Hampshire. Its oldest bell has been ringing over the land since Henry VII was king (1485-1509). It is a charming backwater, aside from the mainstream of headlong 'progress'. A place where the generations have made their contribution and laid their bones – the very essence of rural England. SETTING Newnham, as it exists today, lies on a ridge of high ground above and to the east of the river Lyde. The central feature is The Green enclosed on three sides by a cluster of houses. Here four lanes meet at the crossroads, a fifth leads to the church and a sixth branches away, past the pub. Along these lanes are scattered many dwellings: some very old, others newer. The highest point is the church which stands about 95m or 312 ft above sea level, the Green itself is a little lower. The soil is Plateau Gravel with London Clay preponderating in the surrounding area as it falls away in each direction; immediately along the Lyde the soil is Alluvium (1). The geology to some extent explains the location of the settlement: the plateau gravel lies above a 'saucer' of clay so that rainfall percolates through to the impermeable clay where it is retained; when a well is sunk through the gravel, water is found fairly close to the surface.

Introduction 1.1 The natural environment in Hart has experienced large changes over the past century, in common with most of south eastern England. However, there remains an extremely diverse natural environment in the district, rich in different habitats and species. Hart is characterised by a mosaic of farmland, ancient woodlands, lowland heathlands and water courses. There is also a varied built environment from newer towns such as Fleet and Yateley to rural towns and villages such as Odiham and Hartley Wintney which all contain features which contribute to overall biodiversity resource. 1.2 The publication of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act in 2006 makes biodiversity an important consideration for all local authorities. Section 40 of this act sets out the duty to conserve biodiversity: “Every public authority must, in exercising its functions, have regard, so far as is consistent with the proper exercise of those functions, to the purpose of conserving biodiversity”. 1.3 The adoption of the first Hart Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) in 2012 helped translate national and regional targets into local action, whilst also highlighting species and areas of local importance. The first Hart BAP was implemented by the Council’s Biodiversity Officer in partnership with other groups such as the Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre (HBIC), Hart Countryside Services, Parish Councils, friends of groups and other council departments.

The LHB community signifies high relevance of biodiversity and conservation status of several specific habitats as well as at the landscape level, owing to their ecological position in a variety of habitats across the landscape. The current study focused on LHBs, since there exists with well-organized and structured data sets on their distribution and abundance over the last two hundred years. The present study focused on discerning the influence of different land uses and land cover parameters on the distribution of certain long horn beetles over different landscapes in Sweden. The main objective was to understand the different aspects to be considered in suggesting inputs for biodiversity conservation in the Swedish forest landscape.
