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.

  • 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.
