Bursledon Windmill 2010 iv Bursledon Windmill Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals Introduction 1 - Introduction Purpose of conservation area appraisal 1.1 This appraisal has been carried out to re-assess the existing Bursledon Windmill conservation area and to re-evaluate its special interest. The review will provide a basis for management proposals that are aimed at preserving or enhancing the character and appearance of the designated area. Role of final document 1.2 A final version of the document was approved for adoption by the Council’s Cabinet on 01/12/11. It provides additional guidance supplementary to the council’s local plan saved policies. In due course these saved policies will be superseded by the Local Plan. This SPD will continue to provide supplementary guidance to the Local Plan. 1.3 It will be a tool to be used by residents and developers when considering development within the conservation area. The borough council, as the local planning authority, will use it to inform planning decisions and future development. Bursledon Windmill Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals Adopted December 2011 1 Introduction 2 - Background Statutory context 2.1 Conservation areas are areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance, as defined by section 69 of The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (The Act). Further information and advice relating to the Government’s aims for heritage conservation is provided in Planning Policy Statement 5 (PPS5): Planning for the Historic Environment and the associated practice guide, PPS5 Planning for the Historic Environment: Historic Environment Planning Practice Guide. 2.2 The statutory duty of the local planning authority (LPA) is set out in section 71 of the Act. It requires LPAs to review the designation of conservation areas, formulate and publish proposals for the preservation and enhancement of conservation areas, and submit them for consideration to a public meeting in the area to which they relate. 2.3 Section 72 of the Act requires LPAs to pay special attention to the character and appearance of the conservation area and to the need to preserve or enhance it when exercising their planning powers. Planning policy context 2.4 A SPD cannot create new policy. It does however, provide additional guidance supplementary to the saved policies in Section 11 of the Eastleigh Borough Local Plan Review 2001-2011, (adopted May 2006 and saved by the Secretary of State on 25 May 2009). 2.5 These policies, which impose a greater level of control on development in a conservation area, are: 168.LB, 169.LB, 170.LB, 171.LB, 172.LB, 173.LB, 174. LB, 175.LB and 176.LB. See Appendix A ,page 24 for full details of policies. 2.6 In due course, the saved Local Plan Review policies will be replaced by the Local Plan. This SPD will remain as guidance and will continue to be a material consideration when making planning decisions in the conservation area. 2.7 English Heritage produces guidelines for conservation area appraisals and their management: ‘Guidance on conservation area appraisals’, published February 2006, (product code 51185) and ‘Guidance on the management of conservation areas’, published February 2006, (product code 51184). This document takes account of these and is set out in two parts – the Character appraisal and the Management proposals. 2 Bursledon Windmill Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals Background Status of the Conservation Area 2.8 The Bursledon Windmill Conservation Area was designated on 25 January 1990. Following designation any development within the conservation area should have been carried out with regard to its conservation status and the relevant local plan saved policies. Bursledon Windmill Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals Adopted December 2011 3 Background 3 - The Local Context History of Bursledon Windmill M27 Junction 8 River Hamble Map 1. Location of Bursledon Windmill Conservation Area 3.1 Bursledon Windmill is a rare surviving example of a traditional tower mill containing its original timber machinery. 3.2 Constructed before the introduction of cast-iron machinery, the mill was considered archaic by Victorian standards and following a short working life fell into disuse in 1885. The Mill is five storeys high and its main structure is a circular tapering brick tower. It displays other design features typical of the ancient tradition of millwrights and, now restored, is unique among British windmills. Associated with eighteenth century windmills, these features include the cap which is used instead of a fantail to turn the sails into the wind manually by a means of an endless chain mill and gearings.

Bursledon Windmill 1872 4 Bursledon Windmill Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals The Local Context 3.3 The original windmill was a post mill erected in 1766 by a William Fry following a request to the Bishop of Winchester for a windmill, ‘where such a convenience is wanted’. In 1814 Phoebe Langtry asked the Bishop for a grant of 30 poles of land (approximately 750m2) ‘on top of the free hill in Bursledon upon which lately stood a windmill’. In the same month the mill was mortgaged for £800 by William Langtry, Phoebe’s son, who is believed to have become the miller. The Langtrys failed to redeem the mortgage and the mill passed out of their hands in 1821. At the end of its working life the mill was owned by the Gosling family who took over the mill in 1872. Figure 3. Bursledon Windmill 1872 Bursledon Windmill Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Proposals Adopted December 2011 5 The Local Context 3.4 A temporary roof structure was built over the cap top in the 1930s thereby ensuring the preservation of the mill and particularly the internal mill machinery. 3.5 Prior to the acquisition of the mill by Hampshire Buildings Preservation Trust from the former owners, Mr and Mrs J.D. Jenkins, for a ‘peppercorn’ price, emergency repairs were undertaken to avoid the windmill’s collapse. Since acquisition the Hampshire’s Buildings Preservation Trust have completed a comprehensive restoration programme (1976-91) retaining as much of the original fabric as possible, to re-establish the windmill as a working mill able to produce stone- ground flour. 3.6 Bursledon windmill is one of only a handful of operational windmills in Great Britain and as a Grade II* listed building

  • Environmental Assessment Report
    M27 Southampton Junctions improvement scheme Environmental Assessment Report 2018 Environmental Assessment Report for M27 Southampton Junctions 1. Summary This EAR has been undertaken to assess the impacts of the scheme on environmental topics. Due to the stage of works, PCF Stage 2, all technical topics have been considered in the assessment. The assessment has predicted that with the exception landscape and potentially cultural heritage, neither Appraisal Option 1 nor 2 would result in ‘significant’ environmental effects. The ‘significant’ effects associated with landscape are limited to individual views and are as a result of the removal vegetation and the gas holders on the gas works site. The potential ‘significant’ effect associated with cultural heritage is to unknown undisturbed below-ground archaeological remains. The value of these assets (if present) is unknown therefore taking a worst-case scenario the effect pre- mitigation is assumed to be ‘moderate/large’ adverse. However, through undertaking of a detailed desk based assessment and if required intrusive investigations, any impacts to this heritage asset can likely be mitigated and resultant impacts thus might be considered likely to not be significant. (Requirement for intrusive investigations will depend upon the extent of physical works). Noise modelling has been undertaken, this has identified temporary adverse effects from noise and vibration are likely to occur during construction works associated with both Appraisal Option 1 and 2. However, it is recognised that the magnitude of the impact of the identified adverse effects should be reduced through the implementation of a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) in accordance with best practice measures. The redistribution of the traffic on the network as a result of Appraisal Option 1 will result in the A3024 corridor being expected to manage greater amounts of traffic.
