  • Strategic Flood Risk Assessment: Interim Supplement Incorporating Sequential Test
    Strategic Flood Risk Assessment: Interim Supplement Incorporating Sequential Test For the East Hampshire District Local Plan Regulation 18 consultation December 2018 SFRA Interim Supplement 2018 Contents 1.0 Introduction 2.0 Background 3.0 Local Flood Risk Context 4.0 Planning Context 5.0 Site Requiring Sequential/Exception Test 6.0 Conclusion Appendix 1 – Sequential Testing Scoring on LAA sites and sites brought forward from the development plan Appendix 2 – Sequential Test Methodology and Scoring Criteria Appendix 3 – A list of sites with planning permission 1.0 Introduction 1.1 This document supplements the East Hampshire Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA), October 2018 and supports the East Hampshire Local Plan 2017–2036 (Regulation 18 consultation). The purpose of this document is to demonstrate that proposed site allocations in areas of flood risk are appropriate in the context of the Sequential Test which are required as part of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and its accompanying National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG). However, as this is the first public consultation on the East Hampshire draft Local Plan, the Exception Test has not been carried out at this stage (Regulation 18) as allocations may be subject to change. Those allocations that may require an Exception Test prior to the Proposed Submission Local Plan 2017-2036 (Regulation 19) will be carried out at that time. 1.2 The East Hampshire Local Plan covers the area of East Hampshire outside of the South Downs National Park. This area is known as the Planning Authority area (the ‘Area’). The SFRA 2018 therefore covers the Planning Authority area only but during its preparation neighbouring authorities were consulted to address any cross boundary flood issues to inform the SFRA.

Life 3 studies in the Blackwater and Highland Water sub-catchments found that glides tend be to the most common form of flow followed by riffles and runs. Pools (still water) are noticeably rare in modified reaches being replaced by glides or runs. Pools where they occur are usually found at meander bends apices. Cascades and small water falls also occur at the faces of debris dams. Channelisation tends to affect the flow type in that it reduces the number of pools. Dominant flow types for the Highland Water and Black Water are shown in Figure 10. It is probable that a similar pattern would be found in the other river catchments. 3.4.6 Bank & bed material Bank material is made up of clay, fines, sand and gravel.

  • The Mediaeval Paving Tiles of the Alton Area of N. E. Hampshire
    PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS 289 THE MEDIAEVAL PAVING TILES OF THE ALTON AREA OF N.E. HAMPSHIRE. By THE REV. G. E. C. KNAPP. HE interest of the writer in the study of Mediaeval Paving Tiles was aroused by the paper on the Tiles of Titchfield TAbbey in the Proceedings of the Hampshire Archaeological Society, Vol. XVII, Part I, and by Dr. and Mrs. A. R. Green, without whose help and encouragement the writer would not have embarked on the task of recording the tiles found in this part of the County, and to whom any value which the paper may have is due. The writer found ready assistance in this local research in a group of young people in whom, as part of their preparation for Confirmation, he was trying to arouse an interest in the inheritance which is ours in our ancient churches. The writer would record his appreciation of the help of the Misses Diana and Jennifer French, who traced many of the tiles and prepared the drawings for the illustration of this paper. Starting with our own church at Hartley Mauditt, the tiles there were recorded, and then, going further afield, Selborne was the objective. But the interest and enthusiasm of the young tile hunters was heightened by the discovery of further tiles in the churches of Faringdon and Binsted, which, Dr. Green assured us, had not been recorded in any of the books or reports on the Church treasures of Hampshire. The following churches in the Alton area have been inspected, those containing mediaeval tiles being shown in block letters : New Alresford, Old Alresford, ALTON ST.
