NATIONAL TRUST ESTATE HINTON AMPNER HAMPSHIRE Archaeological and Historical Survey SUMMARY The survey of the National Trust estate at Hinton Ampner, Hampshire was proposed by the Thames and Solent Regional Archaeologist for the National Trust (NT) as part of the continuing enhancement of land management on their properties. It is eventually hoped that all National Trust properties will be incorporated on a centralised Sites and Monuments Record computerised database (henceforth SMR) held at the Estates Advisory Office in Swindon. This report has been prepared by WA Heritage, a specialist section of Wessex Archaeology. This report contains an assessment of the historical and archaeological importance of the estate. It is made up of a landscape history of the estate, taking into account existing information, as well as the observation of previously unrecorded monuments as part of a detailed walkover survey. In addition, an archaeological inventory of all known sites, extant and non-extant, on the estate is presented for incorporation into the NT’s SMR as a separate Gazetteer (see Volume 2). The aim of the survey was to examine and record existing monuments identified in the Hampshire Archaeological and Historic Buildings Record (HAHBR) as well as to identify any new sites or monuments during a walkover survey of the study area. Within the parkland area, the extent of the existing and new sites was recorded via GPS to accurately represent the extent of the archaeological sites as lines and polygons. This was to assist in future management of the parkland rather than merely creating a basic plot of points on a map. However, due to time constraints, outside of the parkland area existing and new monuments were recorded only as a central point. Prior to the commencement of the survey, there were 64 historic environment records for the estate. The HAHBR contains 39 records, which comprise of 12 buildings, 11 are listed, 23 sites/ monuments, 3 findspots and 1 documentary source. These range from prehistoric find spots and Bronze Age barrows through to post-medieval garden features and modern houses. In addition, the NT SMR records a further 25 post- medieval to modern buildings within the estate. In addition, a further 99 monuments were observed. In total 164 sites are recorded within the 600 hectare estate. This corresponds to 42 buildings (including 12 Listed Buildings), 117 monuments and 5 findspots. The survey has shown that the Hinton Ampner estate is of particular importance for the understanding of the landscape history of this part of Hampshire and that the historical and archaeological resource is significant at several levels. The known and potential remains of prehistoric earthworks make the area an important landscape for the Bronze Age period. This is mostly represented by mortuary earthworks in the form of small clusters of round barrows at Hinton Ampner Park, White Hill and Hurst Down. Of particular significance is the sizable parish boundary which demarcates Hinton Ampner from Kilmiston. The boundary bank is within Hinton Ampner and as such the boundary encloses the parish. This may be attributed to the Saxon period and may WA doc. ref. 67660.01 Archaeological & Historical Survey iii National Trust Estate WA Heritage Hinton Ampner, Hampshire indicate an early medieval origin for the parish, perhaps developed from a small Saxon landholding. The main visible feature that can be attributed to the medieval period and traceable within the landscape is the large break of slope which encloses the central area of parkland. This is speculated

As I have yet to see the agenda I cannot confirm this myself, but in the meantime I have been asked by members of the Planning Panel to write and inform of their concerns on such a proposal. The East Hampshire Joint Advisory Committee is fully supportive of the Government's policy to promote the growth of renewable energy production, and welcomes the general thrust of the draft policy document PPS 22. However, as pointed out to the ODPM's office, whilst renewable energy schemes can bring undoubted benefits, they can also have undesirable impacts that need to be balanced against these general benefits. The Planning Panel have asked me to clarify that a single wind turbine comparable to size of the ones erected at Swaffham in Norfolk would be extremely prominent and intrusive if located on Butser Hill.

  • Environmental Importance of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty
    Debate on 3rd April: Environmental Importance of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty This Library Note outlines the origins and development of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It provides a brief summary of the current role and funding of these areas with more detailed coverage of recent evaluations of their environmental importance. Elizabeth Shepherd Date 31st March 2008 LLN 2008/010 House of Lords Library Notes are compiled for the benefit of Members of Parliament and their personal staff. Authors are available to discuss the contents of the Notes with the Members and their staff but cannot advise members of the general public. Any comments on Library Notes should be sent to the Head of Research Services, House of Lords Library, London SW1A 0PW or emailed to [email protected]. 1. Introduction The aim of this paper is to provide a summary of the key milestones in the development of policy on Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) and to present the recent evidence available on their significance in environmental terms. It does not cover perceived threats to AONBs, such as wind farm and road developments. AONBs include “some of our finest countryside … [t]hey are living and working landscapes protected by law. They are inhabited by thousands of people and are loved and visited by many thousands more” (Countryside Agency Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty Management Plans: A Guide, 2001, p. 9). Their primary statutory purpose is to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the landscape: The statutory definition of ‘Natural Beauty’ includes flora, fauna and geological and physiographic features.

In the fields of conservation and recreation, this has meant greater opportunities for partnerships and much closer liaison with, and ownership by, local communities in environmental projects. As a result, we have published many Local Environment Agency Plans (LEAPs), w hich have provided valuable information and acted as a catalyst for action throughout England and Wales. During the year, we have also responded to EU legislation and the UK's comm itm ent to habitat and species protection and biodiversity. Though it is not possible to describe in detail within dus report, all the Conservation and Recreation projects the Agency completed in 1997/98, we have selected a few from each of the Agency’s eight regions that typify the range o f work undertaken. The Agency would like to thank all its project partners for their support, commitment and involvement, and we look forward to working with many of them in the future to create a better environment for us all.

Thanks are given to the Test and Itchen Association, CEFAS (the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science); the Salmon Fisheries of the River Itchen; Riparian Owners, Sparsholt College and the Anglers.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY. • The River Itchen salmon fishery is one of only six remaining in English chalk streams. • Conservation of the salmon stock is essential to protect the bio-diversity and heritage of the Itchen. • This Action Plan identifies factors believed to be causing declining stock levels, and puts forward a costed series of actions to reverse that decline to return to a self-sustaining fishery. • The key limiting factors in freshwater which are preventing a recovery of the Itchen salmon stock are seen to be poor egg survival in gravel impacted by siltation/concretion combined with over exploitation of returning adults. Both of these factors are critically linked to the effects of low flows in the river. • The total returning stock has only been at a level for long term sustainability of the stock and fisheries in four of the last 10 years.
