CONSULTEES 8.1 Land Drainage (NFDC): No comment 8.2 Highway Authority (HCC): No objections 8.3 Highways Agency: No objections 9. REPRESENTATIONS 9.1 None received 10. RELEVANT HISTORY 10.1 Eight internally illuminated signs and six non-illuminated signs (98259) split decision - 24 May 2013 11. ASSESSMENT 11.1 The application site comprises of a former Little Chef restaurant which is located just off the A31 at Picket Post Ringwood in a sensitive area of the Forest. To the south west of the site is a petrol filling station and to the north, east and north west of the site is the open forest which is designated as a site of international value for nature conservation. This application seeks advertisement consent for various illuminated and non-illuminated signs. 11.2 The previous application (our reference 13/98259) for eight internally illuminated signs and six non-illuminated signs received a split decision, granting planning permission for the proposed non-illuminated signs and internally illuminated directional signs (welcome and goodbye signs), and refusing the hero poster board sign and the four totem signs. These signs were refused because: "The proposed totem signs and hero poster board sign, by reason of their siting and excessive size, would result in a proliferation of signs which would have an unacceptable visual impact and clutter the appearance of the site to the detriment of the rural character of the locality. Furthermore, by reason of their cumulative illumination, the signs would add to night time sky glow and erode the rural darkness of the National park to the detriment of the visual amenities of the area." 11.3 This application differs in that the number of internally illuminated signs have been reduced from eight to six and the size of totem four - poster board has also been reduced. As this application is for advertisement consent the application is assessed under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulation 2007 which allows for only 'amenity' and 'public safety' to be material considerations. 2 Proposed illuminated signs: 11.4 It is proposed for six internally illuminated signs which would be located within the site. The majority of these signs would be associated with the proposed drive thru lane. There have been discussions with the Agent since the submission of this application and amended plans have been accepted during the process of the application resulting in the submitted scheme. 11.5 Permission has already been granted by Members for three of these signs (directional signs x2 and the gateway sign) as it was considered that due to their positioning they would not appear visually intrusive within their setting. 11.6 In terms of the remaining three signs, this would consist of three promotional boards. Two of these signs would have a height of 2.4m and the poster board sign would have a height of 2.5m and a width of just under 2m. It is considered that the reduction in the number of signs and the decrease in the size of the poster board is a significant improvement over the previously submitted scheme which would overcome the previous concerns raised by the Authority in relation to visual clutter and night time sky glow. 11.7 With regards to public safety, the Highways Agency and the HCC Highways Engineer have raised no objections to these signs. 11.8 The Parish Council have supported the proposal but have also requested that a condition is attached to any consent given requiring an assessment of the ISO calculations report to be carried out after the installation of the signs. An ISO calculations report has not been submitted with the application, however notwithstanding this, it is a requirement of the consent that the development is carried out in accordance with the plans and information submitted with the application. Details of the luminance levels have been included on the plans and as such it is not considered necessary or reasonable to attach this condition. Proposed non-illuminated signs: 11.9 It is also proposed for several non-illuminated signs which would be located around the building. These signs were previously granted consent and as such it would unreasonable to raise any objections. Conclusion: 11.10 To conclude, it is considered that the proposed internally illuminated and non-illuminated signs would have an acceptable impact upon the visual amenities of the locality and public safety. As such it is recommended that permission be granted. 3 12. RECOMMENDATION Grant Subject to Conditions Condition(s) 1.

PARISH COUNCIL COMMENTS Ellingham, Harbridge & Ibsley Parish Council: Recommend refusal: 1 • Best course of action would be for this site to be closed during the works, as there is no space for any contractors vehicles to park and this application is simply pushing all responsibility onto an as yet unnamed contractor whose employees are not permitted to park on site with nowhere to park apart from the protected (SSSI) verges. • Consider the concerns raised in earlier response (summarised below) to the previously withdrawn planning application 16/00303 have not been addressed in this application, as it does not provide the method statements to be supplied by the contractor regarding the storage of materials, details of safety measures of the movement of large 4 axle vehicles around the still open site, parking of contractors off site and not on the SSSI verge, and the storage of contractor vehicles and machinery.

He explained the neighbourly agreement which had existed since 1963 and although the land was owned by each of the houses, he understood from the title deeds that there was a qualifying rite to access the whole area.

  • The Streams of the New Forest: a Study in Drainage Evolution
    240 HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB THE STREAMS OF THE NEW FOREST: A STUDY IN DRAINAGE EVOLUTION By C. E. EVERARD, M.SC. Introduction. HE area to be discussed in this paper is somewhat larger than that ordinarily known as the New Forest. It extends from Tthe Solent northwards to the River Blackwater, and from the Avon eastwards to Southampton Water. The superficial gravel deposits of the New Forest have been the subject of much detailed morphological analysis in recent years {1, 2, 4, 5), and it has been shown that two ' flights' of gravel terraces exist (Figure 2), the larger descending southwards from. the summit area of Black Bush Plain (420ft. O.D.) towards the Solent, and the other flanking the Avon valley. These terraces mark the main pauses in the uplift of the area from its low level in the late Pliocene and since that time the landforms and drainage pattern have been evolving concurrently, under the influence of the intermittently-falling base-level. The gravel-terrace stages make it possible to trace the former courses of the Rivers Avon and ' Solent n across the New Forest and also the shore-lines of the estuaries which partly replaced them in the southern part of the area. The present New Forest streams are the much modified descendants of the tributaries of these major drainage channels. * The tributaries were, in many cases, too small to produce terraces, but two lines of evidence may be followed in attempting to re­ construct their former courses. Firstly, the development of the tributaries is intimately connected with that of the major arteries, and much is already known about the evolution of the latter.

  • Bramshaw Telegraph November 2019
    BRAMSHAW TELEGRAPH NOVEMBER 2019 NEWS DRAGONS TEETH As a result of verges suffering from overrun, Forestry England will commence work in October/November to remove old rotten or no longer serviceable dragon’s teeth and will be installing new ones closer to the road edge. List of locations (and maps) were sent out with October’s edition of the Bramshaw Telegraph. They can also be found here and here #Add3Minutes Drivers are being urged to just #Add3Minutes as the nights draw in to make journeys safer. When the clocks change in October, and people have to drive home in the dark, there is a much higher risk of hitting one of the free-roaming animals. 56 animals were killed on New Forest roads in 2017 63 animals were killed on New Forest roads in 2018 Most of the accidents are caused by local people on regular trips, on four main routes: • Lymington – Beaulieu – Dibden Purlieu • Brockenhurst – Sway • Burley – Picket Post • Cadnam – Godshill Sue Westwood, Clerk to the Verderers said “Driver should be aware that they are very likely to encounter animals on the Forest’s roads, day and night. Animals don’t have road sense so please help avoid accidents by driving slowly and carefully.” Failing to report an accident with a commoner’s animal can lead to prosecution. The Verderers offer a reward of up to £5,000 payable to anyone providing information which leads to the successful prosecution of a driver responsible for a hit and run accident. BOOKS ON BRAMSHAW AND THE NEW FOREST Many residents will remember Jack Sturgess who kindly donated a collection of books to the Parish Council.

    NFNPA 244/08 Annex 2 NEW FOREST NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY AUTHORITY MEETING – 26 MARCH 2008 MOBILE INTERPRETATION AND INFORMATION UNIT 1 Introduction 1.1 This annex describes the proposed model for operation of a mobile information and interpretation unit for the next thee years, starting with a pilot season in summer 2008. 2 Description of the unit 2.1 Staff have worked with Haley Sharpe Design to select a vehicle and develop its livery and content. 2.2 The option chosen for the mobile unit is a small van, and the currently favoured make is the diesel Megavan 600. This can be driven on a normal licence, is very fuel efficient (80 miles/gallon) and meets EU emissions regulations. The standard Kubota diesel engine means that it can be serviced easily, using local garages. 2.3 Initial display content will include: display panels conveying information about the Park; eye-catching banners / awnings an A-board indicating presence of the unit at a particular car park / location at entrance two larger interactives, such as a stepping stones game and roller post leaflet racks storage. 2.4 Content will develop over the life of the unit and use other resources (such a magnetic interactive or a National Park snakes and ladders game) planned for the New Forest Show and other events. 3 Locations 3.1 We plan to use the unit at the following kinds of locations: coast (Lepe Country Park, Calshot, Keyhaven, Milford on Sea) Crown Land (main recreational sites including car parks: Balmer Lawn, Hatchet Pond, Bolton’s Bench, Deerleap, Whitefield Moor,

  • Newsletter Contents Winter 07.Indd
    Editorial Welcome to the new-look New Forest Association Newsletter. I hope you enjoy reading it. I am a Life Member (and recently co- opted Council Member) of the NFA and care passionately, as we all do, about the future of my native area. I would like to see the Newsletter develop into a lively forum for Forest matters - but for that to happen I will need the input of all Members. What would you like to see included in the Newsletter? Is it too long or too short? Does it have too much - or not enough - to say? Would you like to see a letters page? All suggestions and criticisms will be cheerfully received (honestly!) and taken into account in the next issue - due out in time for the New Forest Show in late July. Meanwhile, I wish you all a peaceful and prosperous 2007. Georgina Babey AGM and Member‛s Day Following the success of the Member‛s Day on September 30th, 2006 it has been suggested that it might be time for a change to the format of the Annual General Meeting. Usually an evening event, we are hoping to incorporate it into a Member‛s Day gath- ering - with talks/workshops/field trips and so on. All this, of course, will give the hard pressed Council Members even more work and we were hoping to engage the help of all those en- thusiastic delegates - who came with offers and ideas - to the September Member‛s Day. The AGM will be on Sat 28th April, 2007 at Minstead Details to be arranged 1 Newsletter contents winter 07.indd 1 07/01/2007 20:22:49 Chairman‛s Report I am happy to say that since my report in the summer Newsletter there have been no dramatic events in the Forest but the work of the Asso- ciation continues with our consideration of, and response to, the endless flow of matters that could affect it.
