INTRODUCTION Cycling is an attractive, enjoyable and non-polluting mode of transport which can benefit the local economy, environment, accessibility, and personal health and fitness. Recognising the advantages of increased cycle use, the stated aim of the Government’s National Cycling Strategy is to quadruple the number of cycling trips by 2012 from a 1996 base. In order to encourage more cycling in East Hampshire, one of the key priorities identified in the East Hampshire District Council Best Value Transport Action Plan in May 2003 was a review of the existing Cycle Plan, which was originally produced in 1997. We have taken care to consult with cycle, community and other interested groups in the development of this revised Cycle Plan, recognising that the help of those with a strong interest in cycling is an essential component in the development of an effective cycle strategy. There is evidence that the public will cycle if given the chance and that there is a considerable suppressed demand for cycle use in Britain. Bicycle sales have risen steadily and there are at least 20 million cycles in this country. However, many are currently discouraged from using their bikes by the volume and speed of traffic on the roads and the lack of provision for the needs of cyclists. ‘There are few reports of cycling accidents on roads carrying fast moving traffic for the simple reason that cyclists are afraid to use them. The roads are not then ‘safe’, but are on the contrary perceived to be so unsafe that the freedom to use them is restricted. If it is true that this perception of danger is linked to traffic volume, then as traffic levels rise, more roads will become off-limits to cyclists, walkers and other vulnerable road users.’ (Transport Research Laboratory, Report 310). To be successful, a cycle route should be safe, direct, comfortable, coherent and attractive. We need to identify routes which follow the desire lines of cyclists, linking all major trip attractions, and facilities must be designed and built with the same standard of care and workmanship as those provided for cars or public transport. In addition, routes will need to be well signposted and clear, easy to read maps should be freely available. The new Cycle Plan outlines key utility and recreational cycle routes, following the desire lines of cyclists, identifies priority routes, and discusses primary objectives, local targets, policy context, links with partners, funding opportunities and design criteria. Opportunities will be taken to include Safe Routes to School within the proposed networks. Almost every child has a bike but few children cycle to school, the one journey they have to make on a regular basis. In contrast to our European neighbours, children don’t cycle here because of the danger on the roads, because of parents’ anxiety, because schools discourage cycle use and do not provide safe cycle storage, 3 and because of peer pressure against cycling. To change this situation we need to provide safe routes to schools, secure cycle parking, leadership from staff and those in authority and a supportive attitude from society. To achieve significant modal shift we will have to enhance the status of cycling and make it clear that in certain areas cycling and walking are to be encouraged over and above motoring. This will need to be conveyed to the public by means of policy statements, publicity and action on the ground. Changing attitudes will be an essential ingredient in encouraging greater cycle use. Initiatives need to focus on influencing organisations, existing road users and potential cyclists with the use of travel awareness campaigns and Travel Plans for both schools and businesses. If we are successful in encouraging more people to take up cycling as a mode of transport, we should also make provision for and encourage novice cyclists and children to take part in cycle training as a means of encouraging safety on the roads and good cycling behaviour. However, cyclists should not be held solely responsible for their safety. A balance needs to be struck between vulnerable road users protecting themselves and measures to reduce the risk imposed by motorised traffic. One should not put the onus of protection on the vulnerable road users without any attempt to enforce, for example, lower speeds by the driver. The topic of vulnerable road users should also form part of driver education. Finally it is vital that any cycling strategy should review its progress. This will involve monitoring individual schemes to evaluate the benefits of the measures and to review progress towards targets. 4 a) Objectives This new Strategy aims to provide improved facilities and conditions for cyclists in East Hampshire and has three main objectives: Objective 1: To maximise the role of cycling as a transport mode, in order to reduce the use of private cars. Objective 2: To develop a safe, convenient, efficient and attractive transport infrastructure, which encourages and facilitates the use of walking, cycling and public transport and which minimises reliance on, and discourages unnecessary use of, private cars Objective 3: To ensure that policies to increase cycling and meet the needs of cyclists are fully integrated into Hampshire County Council’s Structure Plan, the Local Plan, Transport Policies and Programme, resource bids, and the Road Safety Plan; and in all complementary District Council strategies such as transport studies, environment, education, health and leisure strategies. b) Targets Target 1: To adopt locally appropriate targets which will contribute to a national quadrupling of

The purpose of this document is to demonstrate that proposed site allocations in areas of flood risk are appropriate in the context of the Sequential Test which are required as part of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and its accompanying National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG). However, as this is the first public consultation on the East Hampshire draft Local Plan, the Exception Test has not been carried out at this stage (Regulation 18) as allocations may be subject to change. Those allocations that may require an Exception Test prior to the Proposed Submission Local Plan 2017-2036 (Regulation 19) will be carried out at that time. 1.2 The East Hampshire Local Plan covers the area of East Hampshire outside of the South Downs National Park. This area is known as the Planning Authority area (the ‘Area’). The SFRA 2018 therefore covers the Planning Authority area only but during its preparation neighbouring authorities were consulted to address any cross boundary flood issues to inform the SFRA.

    Liss Abbas & Liss Turney (Burgates) Liss (Liss Abbas & Liss Turney [Burgates]) 1.0 PARISH Liss 2.0 HUNDRED Liss (Abbas): Meonstoke (until 1831, then Finchdean) Liss (Turney): Odiham 3.0 NGR Liss (Abbas): 477500 128400 Liss (Turney): 477500 127900 4.0 GEOLOGY Liss / Burgates Folkstone Beds. 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Maps 2 & 3) The present ‘town’ of Liss has been sub-divided into ‘East’ and ‘West’ Liss. However, these sub-divisions appertain to Modern development east and west of the railway; they have no relevance to the medieval manor estates of Liss Abbas and Liss Turney. These manors are associated with settlement areas that lie north-north-west of Liss station by 1.4km and 1.2km respectively. 5.1 Liss Abbas is represented by the site of Lyss Place (c. 70m AOD). It is the site of post-Conquest medieval fishponds and the remains of a monastic grange of St Mary’s, Winchester. 5.2 Liss Turney is less easy to identify than Liss Abbas. The best indicators of the manorial centre are the Church of St Peter at Burgates (Farm) and the area now known as Upper Green, but called Liss Green on the Tithe Map of 1840. In reality, the manor of Liss Turney is unlikely to have had a clear-cut geographical boundary. In this survey it is used a term of convenience for the settlement area that includes Burgates Farm, The Plestor, and Upper Green. This group is sometimes known as West Liss but this is a vague term of relatively recent origin. 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 4 / 1, 4 / 2, 5 / 1, 5 / 2, 6 / 1 & 6 / 2) 6.1.1 Liss Abbas: monastic grange Lyss Place is now a single farmstead and as such it would not normally fall within the scope of this survey.

  • The Mediaeval Paving Tiles of the Alton Area of N. E. Hampshire
    PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS 289 THE MEDIAEVAL PAVING TILES OF THE ALTON AREA OF N.E. HAMPSHIRE. By THE REV. G. E. C. KNAPP. HE interest of the writer in the study of Mediaeval Paving Tiles was aroused by the paper on the Tiles of Titchfield TAbbey in the Proceedings of the Hampshire Archaeological Society, Vol. XVII, Part I, and by Dr. and Mrs. A. R. Green, without whose help and encouragement the writer would not have embarked on the task of recording the tiles found in this part of the County, and to whom any value which the paper may have is due. The writer found ready assistance in this local research in a group of young people in whom, as part of their preparation for Confirmation, he was trying to arouse an interest in the inheritance which is ours in our ancient churches. The writer would record his appreciation of the help of the Misses Diana and Jennifer French, who traced many of the tiles and prepared the drawings for the illustration of this paper. Starting with our own church at Hartley Mauditt, the tiles there were recorded, and then, going further afield, Selborne was the objective. But the interest and enthusiasm of the young tile hunters was heightened by the discovery of further tiles in the churches of Faringdon and Binsted, which, Dr. Green assured us, had not been recorded in any of the books or reports on the Church treasures of Hampshire. The following churches in the Alton area have been inspected, those containing mediaeval tiles being shown in block letters : New Alresford, Old Alresford, ALTON ST.

Apart from Bedales, the village has a thriving primary school, tennis and cricket clubs as well as The Cricketers just a short walk from the house. Petersfield has a comprehensive range of facilities including Waitrose and a mainline station with train services to London Waterloo in just over an hour. The area is particularly blessed with an excellent range of schools including Bedales as already mentioned, Churchers College, Ditcham Park and in the state sector TPS and Bohunt. The A3 at Petersfield provides good regional transport links to the M25 and beyond and the larger centres of Winchester, Guildford and Chichester are all within reasonable driving distance, as are the harbours and creeks of the South Coast. There are a number of good footpaths and bridleways in the surrounding area including the South Downs Way, Hangers Way and Sussex Border Path. I The Property Island Croft is that rare thing, looking like a cottage bathroom. On the ground floor there is a lovely large from the outside, but with great internal space, well sitting room and a big dining room linking to the proportioned rooms and good ceiling heights, having kitchen.
