However, NPPF 2019 paragraph 72 makes it clear that a standalone new settlement should be of a size to support a sustainable community, with sufficient access to services and employment opportunities within the development itself or in larger towns where there is good access.

  • 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.

  • Tom Knight's History of Froyle
    HISTORICAL NOTES ON FROYLE Historical facts, figures, legends, rumours etc., after about 25 years of research by T.Knight. Several ideas as to the meaning of the name Froyle have been suggested, but the most likely seems to be that given by Christopher Hussey in Country Life. Froehyll - an old English word meaning Frea’s Hill Nothing has been discovered before the 11th Century. Froli was a Royal Manor and was held by Edward the Confessor “in his own person”. His Queen, Editha, held the manor of Alton (Aweltone). With the Conquest, Froli came into the hands of William the Conqueror and is mentioned in Domesday as Froli. 1086 William gave the manor to the nuns of St.Mary’s, Winchester, known then as Nunnaminster. 1100-1200 Nothing has been discovered during this century except that St.Mary’s held the manor. 1200-1300 1236 The Abbess of St.Mary’s, who owned Froyle Place, sold three tuns of cider at Froyle for 21/-. 1240 Out of four tuns made, two were retained by the Abbess for Bever (feast) on the manor. 1262 Walter Heusse (Hussey) held the manor of Husseys’ which consisted of a messuage, mill and caracute of land. This Walter Heusse, Huse, Huseye, or Hussey, seems to have been an important man in the district as he is mentioned in the records of Alton (Aulton) in 1272. All through this century St.Mary’s continued to hold the chief manor, no doubt that known now as Upper Froyle, although Upper and Lower Froyle are not mentioned separately until the 18th Century.
