  • ITEM NO: C2a APPENDIX 1
    ITEM NO: C2a APPENDIX 1 Background Information Approximately 3600 flats and houses were built in Southampton in the five year period up to March 2006. About 80% of these were flats. Some 25% of these flats and houses were in the city centre, where the on-street parking facilities are available to everyone on a "Pay and Display" basis. Outside the central area, only about 10% of the city falls within residents' parking zones. So, out of the 3600 properties in all, it is estimated that only about 270 (or 7.5%) will have been within residents' parking zones and affected by the policy outlined in the report. Only in a few (probably less than 20) of these cases have difficulties come to light. In general, there is no question of anyone losing the right to a permit, although officers are currently seeking to resolve a situation at one particular development where permits have been issued in error. There are currently 13 schemes funded by the City Council and these cover the following areas:- Polygon Area Woolston North Woolston South Newtown/Nicholstown Bevois Town Freemantle Coxford (General Hospital) Shirley University Area (5 zones) These schemes operate from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and, in some cases, at other times as well. In addition, there are three further schemes at Bitterne Manor, Itchen and Northam that only operate during football matches or other major events at St Mary’s Stadium. These are funded by Southampton Football Club. Within all these schemes, parking bays are marked on the road for permit holders, often allowing short-stay parking by other users as well.

Parents may express up to three (3) preferences, listing them in the order in which they would accept them. All preferences will be considered and where more than one school could be offered, the parents will be offered a place for their child at the higher ranked of the schools that could be offered. Children with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) that name a school Children with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) that name a school must be admitted to that school under the Education Act 1996 and with regard to the SEND Code of Practice. These children will be admitted to the named school, even if it is full, and are therefore outside the normal admission arrangements. As required by the Code these children will count as part of the Published Admission Number (PAN) for the school. Oversubscription criteria Applications submitted by 31 October 2019 will be dealt with first. If the number of applications submitted by 31 October 2019 for a school is greater than the PAN for the school, admissions will be decided according to the following priorities: 1.

  • BITTERNE AFTER the ROMANS. DOMESDAY Book Is Usually
    148 : HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB BITTERNE AFTER THE ROMANS. By O. G. S". CRAWFORD, B.A., F.S.A. OMESDAY Book is usually regarded as a measure of antiquity, conferring the hall-mark of authentic age upon such places D as are there mentioned. Bitterne is not mentioned by this name in Domesday, but the history of the manor can be traced back to before Domesday. In the year 1045 King "Edward the Confessor gave land at Stanham to the monastery of St. Peter and Paul at Winchester, that is to say, to the Cathedral. The bounds of this land are given ; their identification is not at all easy, but one thing is quite certain, namely, that they include a portion- of South Stoneham ; for an earlier grant of land (in 932).to-the new Minster at Winchester can be identified by the bounds with part of North Stoneham. We must therefore exclude all the land included in that earlier grant from the present one (of 1045). We may also exclude all manors known to exist at the time of Domesday, for it is highly improbable that any such would be included in the grant of a manor made only 41 years previously. That cuts out the manors of Allington, Woolston, Shirley and Chilworth. Unfor- tunately the exact extent of these manors is unknown, but the possible extent of the Stoneham grant is to some extent defined. The bounds begin at Swaythlihg well, which must have been somewhere near Swaythling. The " old Itchen " and the " new river " (niwan ea) are then mentioned, and then, after a number of unidentifiable bound-marks (loam-pits, Wadda's stoc, white stone) we come to " wic hythe." This last must mean the hithe or quay of the old Saxon town of Southampton, whose alternative names were Homwic and Horn- or Ham-tun.
