Hwpc Planning Policy HWPC PLANNING POLICY Adopted by Hartley Wintney Parish Council on 5th December 2016 Revised and approved by Policy Committee 21st November 2016 Reviewed by Hartley Wintney Parish Council 11th November 2019 Revised and approved by Policy Committee 23rd January 2020 Approved at Full Council on 3rd February 2020 Revised for approval at Full Council 3rd August 2020 Next review due August 2021 INTRODUCTION There is currently a presumption in favour of sustainable development in Government policy as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework document published 24th July 2018 and updated 19th February 2019 and advocated locally by Hart District Council. It is required that Local Planning Authorities will set out their own policy for local development reflecting the NPPF guidelines within a Local Plan document to run until 2032. The Hart Local Plan (Strategy and Sites) 2016-2032, was adopted on 30th April 2020 at the Council's first 'virtual' meeting. The Plan, related documents, and remaining saved policies from the Hart Local Plan (Replacement) 1996-2006 are now HWPC’s first point of reference when considering planning applications. The Hartley Wintney Neighbourhood Plan together with the Building Design Guidelines (HWNP Appendix 7) ‘made’ in October 2019, and the Hartley Wintney Conservation Area Character Appraisal 2008 form our local points of reference. In 2016 it was unclear how many dwellings Hartley Wintney would be required to provide in the period 2016-2032. It is now known that a zero allocation of housing has been applied to the parish of Hartley Wintney. However the Hartley Wintney Neighbourhood Plan proposes a total of 8 dwellings on a brownfield site to demonstrate our willingness to accept development going forward into the future. MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS Hartley Wintney Parish Council will therefore reject any major development in the Parish during the period of the Local Plan. A major development proposed at Pale Lane (Elvetham Chase) 16/03129/OUT has recently been dismissed on appeal. The Secretary of State cited the strength and significance of the Hartley Wintney Neighbourhood Plan as one of the major reasons. This would have led to c.400 dwellings being built in the Parish. However it is likely that during the course of the Local Plan there will be other challenges in the form of strategic or speculative development. Therefore, this section on Major Developments must be included in the Hartley Wintney Planning Policy. The current approach to planning is that developers are required to engage with the Parish Council at the pre-application stage and must demonstrate this interaction as part of any subsequent planning application. HWPC will rigorously pursue this course. In the case of major applications of more than 10 houses we would also expect some form of public consultation at this stage as well, usually in the form of an Open Evening or drop in weekend at a local hall to present initial plans to the community. This is to ensure that any fundamental concerns are addressed well in advance of any application plans being finalised. Any comments made by HWPC at this stage are always made “without prejudice” and the Parish Council will always comment upon the final version of the application once it has been submitted to HDC. In addition Hartley Wintney Parish Council aims to: • Be forward thinking and proactive in its approach to planning development both within the Parish and in adjoining towns and villages where there may be a resulting impact. • Strike the right balance between accommodating our share of sustainable development and helping to preserve the fundamental character of Hartley Wintney and its surrounding countryside. We will always aim to ensure that any new development in Hartley Wintney is the best it can be for the Parish both for today and for the future. HWPC Planning Policy August 2020 • Reflect the wishes of the HW residents as defined in the Hartley Wintney Neighbourhood Plan as much as is possible while conforming to the requirements of Government policy as set out in the NPPF. • Inform residents of major applications either via the Contact magazine, or the Parish Council Noticeboard, website, Facebook page and Twitter as appropriate. • Give residents individual, impartial advice on how to present any planning objections they may have to Hart District Council in the best possible way and mediate on behalf of residents where appropriate. • Hold Hart District Council to account should a situation arise where unsound or non-viable development is proposed. • Ensure that where, in the view of the Parish Council there is an honest and genuine belief that a development poses a fundamental concern in terms of policy or would set an unacceptable precedent that an objection will be lodged and robustly defended. • Engage with developers through pre-planning meetings to ensure that as and when applications are proposed for the Parish, they are as suitable and as beneficial to the local community as possible both in planning and financial terms. • Ensure that new developments are acceptable in terms of design and materials used and conform with the Building Design Guidelines – Appendix 7 of the Neighbourhood Plan. • Should a development be approved, HWPC will actively pursue any contributions whether financial or in kind agreed by the developer in favour of the Parish. SMALL-SCALE DEVELOPMENTS HWPC will give advice to any individual wishing to lodge a planning application with Hart DC. This will relate to planning and legal requirements, the impact of the Neighbourhood Plan, fees, permitted development and restrictions in designated areas such as SPA or Conservation Areas. When considering an application HWPC will take account of any views of neighbours and residents before submitting a comment to Hart DC. GENERAL PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS HWPC’s approach to shaping the future layout of the Parish is as follows: • Rigorously defending the Policies of the Hartley Wintney Neighbourhood Plan. • Discouraging development which fronts the A30 to ensure the rural feel of the village centre is retained and thus siting these new larger developments in locations set back from the A30. • Permitting small scale infill only where appropriate nearer the main High Street. This prevents a concentration of development around the historic centre of the village and the cricket green. • Discouraging intensive development in the village centre, thus maintaining its distinctive character which would otherwise be lost through the development of an urban municipal centre. • Ensuring that any new large scale developments are situated in areas which are distinctly outside the main settlement in the parish. • Ensuring any such sites have good links into the village centre by foot or by bicycle and encourage the provision of access to public transport. • Actively discouraging developments at the edges of the main settlement areas as the result would be a sprawl effect. Historically, Hartley Wintney has had pockets of residential development outside the village centre such as Phoenix Green, Elvetham, Hartfordbridge, Dipley and West Green, none of which are physically connected to the centre of Hartley Wintney. The HDC interim housing Policy Statement agrees with this stating “The coalescence of settlements will be strongly resisted”. • Rigorously defend ‘local gaps’ and strategic views to maintain the identity of the village and to prevent coalescence with possible new or existing developments. • To defend restrictions and conditions imposed by Hart DC on any development within the legally designated conservation areas of Hartley Wintney. • Ensuring the integrity of the Special Protection Area of Hazeley Heath is maintained (this is specifically legislated for in the NPPF). This means that there cannot be any new build development within a 400m radius of Hazeley Heath and any development within a 5km radius will be the subject HWPC Planning Policy August 2020 of stringent tests and impact assessments. Likewise, HWPC will robustly defend an absolute ban on development of the common areas and green spaces within the parish. • Safeguarding the future of the many listed buildings in and around Hartley Wintney whether the subject of refurbishment or conversion. To ensure that developers are sincere and diligent in their future plans for buildings and that pre-planning meetings take place with the Parish Council prior to any formal application being made to HDC. • Where development is approved, encourage sustainability, and eco-friendly development with access to public transport and the use of cycles wherever possible. RESPONSIBILITIES AND TRANSPARENCY It will be the responsibility of the Hartley Wintney Parish Council to robustly defend the undertakings defined above. This will be apparent through holding committee meetings which are open to the public, posting information concerning potential new developments in the public domain and through submitting comments on the Hart DC website. This policy will be available for members of the public to view on the HWPC website. HWPC Planning Policy August 2020 .

Introduction 1.1 Following the revocation of the Regional Spatial Strategies by the new Conservative – Liberal Democrat Coalition Government in June 2010 it is considered necessary to update the original Settlement Hierarchy Background Paper (January 2010) in light of the changes. 1.2 Hart District contains a number of towns and villages that vary in size. It is useful for plan-making purposes to group these settlements into a hierarchy based on an understanding of their current size and level of service provision. 1.3 It is important to note that the hierarchy does not in itself amount to a spatial strategy and does not dictate the levels of growth that will go to different settlements. It is a hierarchy based on the settlements as they are now, rather than as they might look in the future. It is merely a framework around which one or more options for a spatial strategy can be articulated.

  • DYKE on HARTFORD BRIDGE FLATS HIS Earthwork Crosses the Gravel Ridge Known As Hartford Bridge Flats at a Point Three-Quarters of a Mile West of Black- T Water Bridge
    70 HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB DYKE ON HARTFORD BRIDGE FLATS HIS earthwork crosses the gravel ridge known as Hartford Bridge Flats at a point three-quarters of a mile west of Black- T water Bridge. It faces west, joining the heads of two boggy valleys, at one of the narrowest parts of the ridge. The general character of the dyke is shown by the plan and profile. The south end has been destroyed by a gravel pit, and for the width of Camp Plantation the earthwork is badly mutilated, partly by the erection of a lodge on the bank, partly by numerous old hollow trails, and owing to this it is not possible to determine how the track originally passed through the dyke. The remainder of the earthwork is well preserved. A remarkable feature is the wide berm between the bank and ditch, which seems to be unique among the linear earthworks of the South of England. The mound near the south end of the dyke is about 30 feet in diameter and 3 feet high. The material has been taken from pits on the south and west. It does not seem to have been disturbed. Without excavation, it is impossible to say whether it is a barrow, or connected in some way with the dyke. The ridge undoubtedly carried an important highway in ancient times, but its continuation to the west is uncertain. It is possible that it formed part of the " Lunden Haerpathe "* which passes 8 near Winchester. Drf Grundy suggests that the " Welsh Drive," running north-west towards Silchester, is an ancient track, but it is improbable that its present course at the dyke is ancient, as no hollow trails occur near it.

  • Hartley Wintney Preservation Society
    Hartley Wintney Preservation Society 50 Years Ago A sketch of our village when Elizabeth came to the throne JUBILEE ISSUE MAY 2002 50 Years Ago A sketch of ourvillage when Elizabeth came to the throne Reflecting on the recent death of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, news coverage of what England was like when she first became Queen, and also the imminent celebrations to mark her daughter’s Golden Jubilee, I thought this might be an appropriate time to take a look at what Hartley Wintney was like when our present Queen began her reign in 1952. Perhaps it will stir up memories for some of our older residents and also, I hope, be of interest to those who have come to our village more recently. Hartley Wintney really was a village in those days, still predominantly a farming community. According to the 1951 Census the population was 2521. A small additional number for Elvetham should also be allowed for. Nearly everyone worked locally. It certainly wasn’t a dormitory town for commuters then, and relatively few people had cars. Apart from the farms and the Elvetham Estate, Pools the builder was a major local employer. They were also timber merchants with a large sawmill at the back of the yard and at one time more than 200 people worked for the company. There was no subcontracting then; all craftsmen were directly employed. Agriculture was still to the fore however, with many working farms – the Hazells at Grange and Causeway Farms, the Hewitts at Church House Farm, Taplins Farm a little further along the lane, the Broomfields at James Farm in West Green Road, Hares Farm (Hunts Common), Mitchell’s Dairy at Clarke’s Farm just behind the High Street, the Hathaways at Dipley, and Arlotts was still a working farm at Elvetham.

    BARRED NUMERAL CANCELLATIONS OF ENGLAND AND WALES JOHN PARMENTER, DAVID LUCKLY, KEN SMITH PROF. CEDRIC PRYS-ROBERTS (WALES) HAMPSHIRE BARRED NUMERAL CANCELLATIONS OF ENGLAND AND WALES JOHN PARMENTER DAVID LUCKLY KEN SMITH WITH PROF. CEDRIC PRYS-ROBERTS (WALES) This download is from the six-volume edition published between 2011&2013 by John Parmenter 23 Jeffreys Road, London SW4 6QU. It incorporates the following: 1/ Status of the Offices that used barred numeral cancellations. 2/ A list of the Sub Offices of major Offices that used barred numeral cancels. 3/ The later numeral allocations that were made after barred numerals ceased to be issued. Dates, codes and times in red are new to the published volumes. Dates of a change in status are derived largely from the Post Office Guide for January of each year, if a change occurs in say the 1865 edition, it actually took place sometime in 1864. Status of the Offices Head Post Offices / Post Town collected, sorted, cancelled and distributed mail from and to a series of Subordinate Offices. The address of mail sent to a place with a Head Office would end just with the name of the town i.e. Bedford. Independent Sub Offices evolved in the second half of the 19th Century having an address that was independent of the nearest Head Office, most of their mail could come straight to them. Mail sent to these addresses ended with S.O. and the county name. i.e. Shefford S.O. Beds. (from 1873 to 1886) Railway Sub Offices (R.S.O.) These were offices that received and sent their mail to a travelling railway post office rather than a conventional head office.

The SPB’s will therefore be reviewed in two stages. The first stage is a desktop review to take into account major residential development that has been built or permitted on the edge of settlements but outside the SPB’s between 1st April 1996 and 31st March 2016. Major development is defined as 10 dwellings or more. 1.3 The second stage to reviewing the SPB’s will be undertaken to inform the Local Plan Part 2 when site visits will be undertaken. It will involve a detailed review of all the existing SPB’s and any evidence for defining new additional SPB’s, and to ensure they are fit for purpose.

SATURDAY, APRIL 8TH, 1899. Director: H. W. MONCKTON, F.L.S., F.G.S. Excursion Secretary: W. P. D. STEBBING, F.G.S. (Report by THE DIRECTOR.) LEAVING Winch field a little before half past three, the party cycled to the brick-field on the south-western side of Hazeley Heath, 2£ miles from the station. The rather sandy clay worked belongs to the Middle Bagshot Series; the heath, in fact, is a Middle Bagshot outlier, and it is capped by a gravel, the top being a flat expanse, with a level of a little over 288 ft. above Ordnance Datum. The details are clearly shown on Sheet 284 of the New Series Geological Survey Map recently published. There are numerous gravel-pits, one of which was selected for examination. The gravel was seen to be fairly well stratified with thin beds of sand here and there, the sandy parts frequently showing current bedding. In some places the stratification was less well marked, and often there was a certain amount of con­ tortion and patches of mottled gravel, but these seemed to be always near the surface of the ground.

  • A History of Hartley Wintney and Its Commons
    A History of Hartley Wintney and its Commons (Hampshire County Council) Mary Ann Bennett 2014 A History of Hartley Wintney and its Commons The village of Hartley Witney today is largely an 18th to early 19th century development straddling the main A30 road, quite a distance from its historic centre. The old village of Hartley Wintney was situated near the Priory, Church and three- field system of agriculture it supported on a ridge between today’s village and the M3 motorway. Historically the Manor of Hartley Wintney consisted of a number of small settlements surrounded by large areas of common and heathland. These settlements were close to St. Mary’s Church, at Hartford Bridge, near The Lamb on the corner of Hunts Common, Dipley Green, Hazeley Heath and at Phoenix Green. There was a later development at West Green. Over the centuries the land between these areas of habitation has diminished by encroachment and small enclosures, which over centuries has reduced the scale of the commons. Today the remaining commons are known as Causeway, Cricketers, St. John’s, Phoenix, Hunts and West Green as well as part of Hazeley Heath, but originally all but the outlying commons were an extensive band of poor or marginal land known as the waste of the Manor. This mixed woodland, rough pasture and heathland extended from Bears Green, near Murrell, through Phoenix Green, all the way to the River Hart at Hartford Bridge and beyond this to Hartford Flats. The early village settled around its Cistercian Priory. Geoffrey FitzPeter who th is named as the ‘fundator ecclesiae nostra’ (1) (our founder) of this 12 century nunnery was Lord of the Manor of Hartley Wintney.
