    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.

  • The Idsworth Church Friends Trust 3 AGM – Wednesday 24 April, 2019
    The Idsworth Church Friends Trust 3rd AGM – Wednesday 24th April, 2019 1.Apologies: Dinah Lawson, Jennifer Oatley, Rebecca Probert, Deborah Richards, June Heap, Jill Everett, Tom Everett, Mike Driver, David Uren, Cllr Chris Stanley, Cllr Marge Harvey, Alan Hakim. Attendance: 35 Confirm Minutes of the last meeting (19th April, 2018): These were made available to all Friends via the website. Proposer: Andrew Fisk and Seconder: Simon Hartley 2. Chairman’s Review of the Year: ‘It is incredible to think that, a year ago, we were sitting in the church on the new pew cushions purchased by The Friends and, I am pleased to say, they have proved to make life very much more comfortable for those attending church services, concerts, social events and even AGMs! In April, 2018, Mr Tobit Curteis of the Courthauld Institute was commissioned to inspect the church environment and advise on the condition of the wall paintings. His report was subsequently included in the application to the Heritage Lottery Fund. The last twelve months has been a very busy time for the Friends’ Trust. So what have we achieved during the course of the last year? Well, ten events took place in 2018 for a start: Despite a very hot summer, the weather deluged for our Dark Skies Event in April and we were confined to activities in the church – a great pity as we had a number of families attending and, supported by the team of experts from Clanfield observatory, there was no opportunity to star gaze through their telescopes due to the heavy rain.

    The Postal History of Waterlooville including Cosham, Widley, Purbrook, Denmead, Hambledon, Cowplain, Lovedean, Horndean and Chalton by Mike Hill July 2015 £5 Tourist Map of 1991 showing the locations of Post Offices in the Waterlooville area. 2 Havant Borough History Booklet No. 52 To view, comment, and order all booklets visit: www.hhbkt.com Read also Booklet No. 38: A History of the Post Office in the Havant Area Edited by Ralph Cousins 3 4 The Postal History of Waterlooville including Cosham, Widley, Purbrook, Denmead, Hambledon, Cowplain, Lovedean, Horndean and Chalton Mike Hill Introduction The Waterlooville Philatelic Society was formed at the time of the great stamp collecting boom of the early 1970s and as a founder member I discovered that there was little information about the postal history of the local area since the founding of the village in 1815 some 200 years ago. Thus I was encouraged to start out on a journey of exploration into the history of postal services in the local area, a journey which has given me many hours of enjoyment. What I have achieved has been helped enormously by those of the Waterlooville Philatelic Society notably the late Eric Whyley and Mike English, and also the late Geoffrey Salter of the Waterlooville Library. Much of my research was published in the Journal of the Hampshire Postal History Society of which I was editor for a number of years. I must also thank David Coxon whose father took over from George Pook as postmaster in the early fifties for his memories and Paul Costen [www.costen.co.uk] who allowed me access to his scanned collection of postcards to search for Post Offices.
