Clerk reminded the meeting that the Bramshaw Telegraph was meant to be an aide memoire of events happening in Bramshaw rather than a newsletter thus preventing conflict with Forest Views – the conclusion of the discussion was that on this occasion an item should be put into the Bramshaw Telegraph, Forest Views and the website. Sue brought to everyone’s attention the cycle event taking place on 14/15 April and expressed her concern over the size of the event – providing everyone behaves as indicated in the promotional video there should not be an issue – ie: i) cycle in single file. ii) slow down for horse riders. iii) slow down for forest ponies and other forest animals. iv) don’t drop litter Page 1 of 4 Bramshaw Parish Council 26th March 2013 v) obey Highway Code – anyone not doing so, will be disqualified.

PARISH COUNCIL COMMENTS 1 Bramshaw Parish Council: Recommend permission: • Removes a flat roof extension which isn't in keeping with the property or the conservation area. • It is an improvement on what is already there with the resultant changes being minor to the visual amenity of the local area, particularly as the work is to the rear of the property and does not alter the appearance of the front of the property. • The house will become a more complete dwelling for the current occupier by providing a house suitable for modern living (particularly with the provision of a downstairs WC). • The two storey extension will, because of its reduced height be subservient to the original property.

    Excavation of Three Romano-British Pottery Kilns in Amberwood Inglosure, Near Fritham, New Forest

    EXCAVATION OF THREE ROMANO-BRITISH POTTERY KILNS IN AMBERWOOD INGLOSURE, NEAR FRITHAM, NEW FOREST By M. G. FULFORD INTRODUCTION THE three kilns were situated on the slopes of a slight, marshy valley (now marked by a modern Forestry Commission drain) which runs south through the Amberwood Inclosure to the Latchmore Brook (fig. i). The subsoil consists of the clay and sandy gravel deposits of the Bracklesham beds. Kilns i (SU 20541369) and 2 are at the head of this shallow valley at about 275 feet O.D. on a south-east facing slope, Fig. 1. Location maps to show the Amberwood and other Romano-British kilns in the New Forest. 5 PROCEEDINGS FOR THE YEAR 1971 while kiln 3 (at SU 20631360) is some 100 metres to the south on the eastern side of the valley at 250 feet O.D. Previous work in the New Forest does not record any kiln in the Amberwood Inclosure. A hoard of coins was found (Akerman, 1853) in this area, but only two of the coins are recorded; one of Julian (355-363) and one of Valens (364-78). Sumner (1927) records finding a quern-stone and pottery at about SU 20701383, and Pasmore (1967) lists a series of possible sites within the Inclosure. Other find spots on the map in Sumner (1927, facing p. 85) suggest he may have been the first to find the waste heaps of kiln 1, but kiln 3 was only traced by Mr. A. Pasmore after the withdrawal of timber following the felling of hardwood in 1969-70.

    Report Re A336 7.5 Tonne Weight Limit Proposal

    COPYTHORNE PARISH COUNCIL MEETING – 13th APRIL 2021 ITEM 10 – A336 (Southampton Road through Cadnam & Bartley and Ringwood Road through Netley Marsh) – Proposal to HCC Highways for a 7.5 tonne Weight Limit Background At the March 9th 2021 Council meeting, a resident of Netley Marsh spoke in the public session about a proposal being presented to Netley Marsh Parish Council seeking their support for a 7.5 tonne weight limit on the A336 through Netley Marsh. Given that the A336 continues westwards from Netley Marsh through Bartley and Cadnam, similar support was sought from Copythorne Parish Council. Current position Netley Marsh Parish Council has confirmed it’s support and we have been provided with a copy of the document giving full details of the proposal that will be submitted to HCC Highways (Appendix 1) to this report. (Note:- In the first paragraph of Section 2 (Introduction) of the document reference is made to the proposal being “supported by Netley Marsh Parish and Copythorne Parish Councils on behalf of the residents of the impacted villages.” The support of Copythorne Parish Council is being requested and has not yet been agreed. Key Points to consider i. Such a weight limit would greatly reduce the level of larger vehicles using the Southampton Road through the Parish. ii. A 7.5 tonne weight limit is already in place from the A336 roundabout with the A326 (“Goodies”) through to the centre of Totton. iii. The limit would not apply to vehicles requiring access to businesses etc. along the route, such as to the saw mill at Bartley, the garden centre at Cadnam, school buses, etc.

    28 November 2014

    Western Weekly: 28th November 2014 Colleagues, Country Watch have been engaging with rural communities this week around shed breaks and outbuilding burglaries, we are still seeing land and house owners failing to ensure they have basic security, this includes closing gates, doors and bolting them closed. In almost all cases the victim of burglary and theft have missed the opportunity to ensure good ‘housekeeping’ by padlocking sheds and installing inexpensive security devices. We are still experiencing a high level of theft from motor vehicles across the district, in every case the vehicle owner has left items on display or has been seen to place items in the boot prior to walking away and leaving the vehicle in a beauty spot car park. We have been working hard with our colleagues at the Forestry Commission to display clear warning posters at all disclosed car parks, local Safer Neighbourhood Teams have been out and about engaging with the public around the car parks in an attempt to educate drivers about leaving valuables in vehicles. This isn’t just an issue in the New Forest, Theft from motor vehicles are a national problem, we (as the public) see our vehicles as a safe environment as we can lock the door and close the windows, we often treat our vehicles like a safe, the criminals rely on this knowledge and are reaping the rewards, lets get the message out there and get everyone to take personal property with them when they leave their vehicle in a public place. On Thursday, Country Watch conducted a vehicle check operation at Beaulieu Road Pony Sales.

    NEW FOREST HEART Monthly Beat Report – December 2020 Hello and welcome to December’s Beat Report for the New Forest Heart area. I am PCSO 14495 Richard Williams, one of the Beat Officers for this area, and I am based at Lyndhurst Police Station with my colleague PC 20127 Steven Norris and we are responsible for Lyndhurst and the North of the Forest. PC 2901 Jason Eastwood and PCSO 14215 Vicki Pressey take care of the Forest south of Lyndhurst. Following the Government’s announcement that we are now in Tier 4 it is really important we continue to work together to save lives. We will continue to maintain our Covid-19 related patrols, as required, in addition to our usual work as we move into the New Year. We will engage, explain and encourage people to comply with the regulations in place, and we will enforce where blatant breaches take place. In a Tier 4 area, the message is to stay at home unless you have a specific purpose like work, volunteering, essential shopping, education, childcare, exercise, medical reasons, to escape harm and for communal worship and funerals. Non-essential retail must close, unless for click-and-collect, drive-through or delivery. If you need to travel, the guidance is to stay local, and look to reduce the number of journeys you make overall. You are not allowed to meet indoors – in any venue, public or private – with those you do not live with however you are allowed to meet with those in your support bubble indoors. You can meet one other person outside your household outdoors.
  • The Streams of the New Forest: a Study in Drainage Evolution

    The Streams of the New Forest: a Study in Drainage Evolution

    240 HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB THE STREAMS OF THE NEW FOREST: A STUDY IN DRAINAGE EVOLUTION By C. E. EVERARD, M.SC. Introduction. HE area to be discussed in this paper is somewhat larger than that ordinarily known as the New Forest. It extends from Tthe Solent northwards to the River Blackwater, and from the Avon eastwards to Southampton Water. The superficial gravel deposits of the New Forest have been the subject of much detailed morphological analysis in recent years {1, 2, 4, 5), and it has been shown that two ' flights' of gravel terraces exist (Figure 2), the larger descending southwards from. the summit area of Black Bush Plain (420ft. O.D.) towards the Solent, and the other flanking the Avon valley. These terraces mark the main pauses in the uplift of the area from its low level in the late Pliocene and since that time the landforms and drainage pattern have been evolving concurrently, under the influence of the intermittently-falling base-level. The gravel-terrace stages make it possible to trace the former courses of the Rivers Avon and ' Solent n across the New Forest and also the shore-lines of the estuaries which partly replaced them in the southern part of the area. The present New Forest streams are the much modified descendants of the tributaries of these major drainage channels. * The tributaries were, in many cases, too small to produce terraces, but two lines of evidence may be followed in attempting to re­ construct their former courses. Firstly, the development of the tributaries is intimately connected with that of the major arteries, and much is already known about the evolution of the latter.

    Forest North East Conservation Area Character Appraisal Forest North East Copythorne, Winsor, Dispersed farms and arable land, Netley Marsh, Bartley, Woodlands, Historic edge of Forest encroachment. About this character appraisal The landscape of the New Forest National Park is unique. It is a living working remnant of medieval England with a sense of continuity, tradition and history. It is not the survival of just one special quality but a whole range of features that bring a sense of continuity and integrity. Where there are areas of special historic and architectural interest the Authority has the opportunity to designate these as conservation areas. Every area has its own distinctive character made up from topography, historic development, current uses and features, buildings, paths and lanes, hedges, trees, place names. Understanding and appreciating an area’s character, including its social and economic background, and the way these factors have shaped the place should be the starting point for both its management and its future. This is the purpose of this document. The character appraisal considers: . The location and setting of the area . Historic development . The character of the area in detail . Building materials and details . The contribution of the natural environment This document is for: . Anyone who is interested in finding out about the area . Anyone proposing to carry out work in the area . Organisations responsible for any aspect of management of the area . Our partner organisations, who help deliver National Park purposes through their work . Members and staff of the National Park Authority How to contact us We would welcome your views and comments on this document and any other matter affecting the conservation area.
