The Alice Lisle Walking Guide Using some local knowledge we have been able to design some great walks starting and finishing at the Alice Lisle. If you’re planning a group walk, please get in contact with us to hear all that we can offer. 1.7 Miles Distance The Alice Lisle Rockford Green, Ringwood, BH24 3NA Tel: 01425 474700 Email: [email protected] A tour of Rockford, Ivy and Blashford Lakes Time 40 minutes non-stop but allow up to 1.5 hours for wildlife spotting. Distance 1.7 miles Easy - gentle, flat walk suitable for children. Wellies/boots advisable during and after wet spells. Take binoculars if possible. With your back to the pub head down the left hand side of the car park. At the junction with the road turn left on to the Avon Valley Footpath heading for Salisbury. Follow the footpath for about 200 yards then turn left leaving the Avon Valley path. The new path runs parallel with Dockens Water an important tributary of the River Avon. A quarter of a mile further down the path you will see the angling club’s car park (and portable toilet) at the edge of Rockford Lake. Part of the car park is made up of the concrete slabs, which formed part of the runway extension at RAF Ibsley a WWII base for the RAF and USAAF. The base opened in 1941 and ceased flying operations in 1946. In 1952 the airfield was converted into a motor racing circuit. In the early 1960’s the land was sold to Amey Roadstone who used the old runway for hard core aggregate and extracted the rich sand and gravel deposits from what are now the lakes. After another 100 yards (ignoring the new bridge to the right) keep straight on entering the Blashford Lakes Wildlife Area. Keep on this path signposted to Main Car Park and Other Hides until you reach a left turn signposted Ivy Lane and viewing scree The path follows the western edge of Rockford Lake and offers lots of opportunities to view the abundant bird life on both Rockford and Ivy Lakes on the right hand side. There are two viewing screens overlooking Ivy Lake. The fence around the lake is designed to prevent a growing otter population from feasting on the fish. The path ends on reaching Ivy Lane. Here with the sign for the Roach Pit directly opposite, turn left and after a few yards turn right into the lane leading into Spinnaker Sailing Club. Go left on to the Avon Valley Path, which at first follows the edge of Spinnaker Dinghy Park and then the edge of Blashford Lake until you reach the Gorley Rd at Ivy Cottage. Go through the gate and keep straight on crossing the cattle grid before reaching your starting point in The Alice Lisle Inn car park. .

Section 2: Development Management Policies
New Forest District (outside the National Park) Local Plan Part 2: Sites and Development Management Adopted April 2014 Section 2: Development Management Policies 17 New Forest District (outside the National Park) Local Plan Part 2: Sites and Development Management Adopted April 2014 18 New Forest District (outside the National Park) Local Plan Part 2: Sites and Development Management Adopted April 2014 2.1 The Core Strategy and the Sites and Development Management document form the statutory development plan for the area (together with the County level minerals and waste development plans). National planning policy is also an important material consideration in any planning decisions. Policy NPPF1: National Planning Policy Framework - Presumption in favour of sustainable development When considering development proposals the Council will take a positive approach that reflects the presumption in favour of sustainable development contained in the National Planning Policy Framework. It will always work proactively with applicants jointly to find solutions which mean that proposals can be approved wherever possible, and to secure development that improves the economic, social and environmental conditions in the area. Planning applications that accord with the policies in this Local Plan (and, where relevant, with policies in neighbourhood plans) will be approved without delay, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. Where there are no policies relevant to the application or relevant policies are out of date at the time of making the decision then the Council will grant permission unless material considerations indicate otherwise – taking into account whether: • Any adverse impacts of granting permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in the National Planning Policy Framework taken as a whole; or • Specific policies in that Framework indicate that development should be restricted.

Briefing Note
BRIEFING NOTE ELECTORAL REVIEW OF THE DISTRICT COUNCIL PHASE TWO – WARDING PATTERNS THE WEST 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 The Electoral Review Task and Finish Group has grouped the District area into 5 zones to develop warding patterns within each of the zones. 1.2 All 5 zones use the Town and Parish Councils as building blocks and achieve electoral equality, one of the statutory criteria applied by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE). Electoral equality is calculated by dividing the number of electors in an area by the number of Councillors elected to represent that area to produce an ‘electoral ratio’. High levels of electoral equality for a local authority will be a situation where a high proportion of wards/divisions across the authority have roughly the same electoral ratio and where no ward/division has a ratio which varies by a great degree from, the average for the authority. 1.3 Across the District, to support the agreed Council Size of 48, an electoral ratio of 3,075 should exist using the projected 2025 electorate. A figure within + or - 10% of this figure is acceptable. 1.4 The knowledge of local councillors is sought particularly on Community Identity and Interests within the area. This is one of the other statutory criteria applied by the LGBCE. 1.5 Community Identity and Interests include, but are not limited to the following:- Transport links – Are there good communication links within the proposed ward or division? Is there any form of public transport? If you are proposing that two areas (e.g.

Land Indenture Hampshire, England 1719 Book 12, Folder 4, L16 Report
© 2013 Center for Family History and Genealogy at Brigham Young University. Land Indenture Hampshire, England 1719 Book 12, Folder 4, L16 Report CONDITION OF THE DOCUMENT This document is made of vellum, or processed animal skin, which is in good condition considering the age of the document. The document is written in ink which has not faded significantly over time. This document seems to be written by one scribe, as the document’s handwriting style never changes. At the top of this document, there is an elaborate stamp that marks it as a land indenture. Compared to the top portion, the bottom half of this document is more challenging to read because the lines were written closer together and is cramped. Also, the areas where this document has been folded repeatedly are very faded and the ink has worn away somewhat. DESCRIPTION OF THE HAND This document was written in a mix of Bastard Secretary and Secretary Hands which were commonly used during the late 15th century to the mid-16th century. At the time this document was written there was no standardized spelling in England, which accounts for the number of spelling variations used by the scribe. He also uses a number of abbreviations and medieval word practices. For example, capitalization and bold letters were used to draw attention to the important sections of the document. GLOSSARY OF TERMS (Terms found from the Oxford English Dictionary; OED) Michaelmas: “The feast of Saint Michael the Archangel which occurs on the 29th day of September.” Lady’s day: “The traditional name of the Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin which occurs on the 25th day of March.” © 2013 Center for Family History and Genealogy at Brigham Young University.
