18 Crescent Road Alverstoke | Hampshire | PO12 2DH 18 Crescent Road Alverstoke | Hampshire | PO12 2DH 18 The Crescent.indd 1 15/06/2016 15:02 Step inside 18 Crescent Road An excellent opportunity to acquire an impressive Grade II* listed Regency townhouse within the iconic Crescent, in one of Alverstoke’s foremost historical addresses which has far reaching views towards Stokes Bay, the Solent and Osborne House (former residence of Queen Victoria), on the Isle of Wight. When you purchase a property of this historical interest you are buying more than just a family home in an enviable position, you are also preserving a little slice of history for the next generation. No.18 has over 3,520 sq ft of living accommodation arranged over five floors and comprises; hallway, feature dining room with curved internal wall, a kitchen and utility room on the reception level with the formal drawing room and balcony, shower room and sitting room on the first floor level with two bedrooms both with en-suite facilities on the second floor and three further bedrooms and bathroom on the top floor. The lower ground floor is currently used as music studio with a home office/study and a variety of workshops/store rooms. A great deal of care and attention has been put into designing the front and rear gardens with the retaining rear walls dating back to 1829. To the rear, accessible from Anglesey Arms Road and under the adjacent coach house is a garage and car hardstanding area. From the drawing and bedrooms above there are outstanding views towards Stokes Bay and the Isle of Wight beyond, over the English Heritage Gardens, to the rear overlooking the 92’ rear garden are views over rooftops towards Portsdown Hill in the distance. The property has a great deal of charm and character with stripped floor boards, sash style windows, high skirting boards, panelled doors and coving. Alverstoke itself has the feeling of a village within a city, with local shopping amenities, pubs, a Doctors surgery and church. For commuters this aesthetically pleasing Crescent is situated under eight miles from the A/M27, whilst the passenger ferry providing access to Portsmouth with the mainline rail links to London Waterloo in approximately 1hr and 45 minutes as well as Portsmouth Grammar School, Gunwharf Quays retail and restaurants and Victorian waterfront city of Southsea, early internal viewing is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.

  • Issue 59 January 2016
    Issue 59 January 2016 MP for Gosport, Lee-on-the-Solent, Stubbington and Hill Head Happy New Year to you! After a great Christmas and New Year with my family at home in Gosport, we ushered in 2016 by joining the crowds at Stokes Bay for the tra- ditional GAFIRS New Year's Day charity swim. We were watching not swimming, of course, ... maybe next year! Back to work and an unexpected announcement: the waterfront site at Daedalus was selected for the Government's new Direct Commissioning house-building pilot. This scheme opens up land that already has outline planning permission to a wider range of small and medium builders. In this case it will deliver 200 homes that big developers have been unwilling to take on due to the upfront infrastructure investment required and complications of the listed buildings on the site. I share constituents' concerns about pressures on local infrastructure so I arranged to meet with the Minister for Housing to discuss the plans. Gosport Borough Council bosses joined me to seek reassurance that the investment will deliver infrastructure to support wider commercial development and job creation at the Daedalus waterfront site. Last month I met with the Chancellor to reemphasise the need for road improvements in our local area. I will continue to support Hampshire County Council and the Solent Local Enterprise Partnership in this way so that when they make their bid for the remaining Stubbington Bypass funding, they will have the best possible chance of success. Other meetings this month included a discussion with the First Sea Lord about key sites in our constituency such as HMS Sultan, HMS Collingwood and Fort Blockhouse.

  • Anchorages Between Selsey and Portland Tony Firth – Port Solent Yacht Club
    Anchorages between Selsey and Portland Tony Firth – Port Solent Yacht Club This list is far from exhaustive and is only intended to indicate some places that I or friends have found useful or enjoyable (I’ve added some pictures taken by Jacqui Howe and myself to this 2013 version and shall try to add to and improve these as time goes on). Where an anchorage is well known but I haven’t tried it, I have said so. In principle we can anchor anywhere where it isn’t actually prohibited – we aren’t restricted to areas with an anchor symbol on the chart. However, common sense will suggest that anchoring in prohibited areas or channels, among swinging moorings, near charted submarine cables or in locations with strong tidal streams is not a good idea. Under the ColRegs vessels of under 50m LOA are obliged to show a black ball on the forward part of the boat in daylight, and an all-round white light in a similar position at night. I’m assuming a suitable type and weight of anchor and sufficient cable (to anchor with confidence in depths up to 10m requires 40-50 m of cable of which at least 20 m should be chain) and that the cable is laid out properly rather than dropped in a heap. A particular anchorage may be OK in a slight roll for a heavy sailing cruiser but much less acceptable in boats with less ballast and flatter bottoms and especially for fast motor cruisers. Comfort at anchor can often be improved by: · Reducing snubbing by bending a strong nylon warp to the chain with a rolling hitch, paying out a few more metres of chain and warp, making

Office for Nuclear Regulation Report ONR-COP-PAR-15-08 TRIM Ref: 2016/55475 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Determination of the Off-site Emergency Planning and Prior Information Areas for the Portsmouth Operational Berths: Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations 2001 The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) is responsible for regulating the GB nuclear industry in order to protect the health and safety of employees and the public against risks of harm arising from ionising radiations. ONR is the regulatory authority for Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations 2001 (REPPIR) on nuclear licensed sites, Ministry of Defence (MOD) Authorised Nuclear sites and Nuclear Warship sites. ONR’s responsibilities include a legal duty, where it is concluded that there is a potential for a reasonably foreseeable radiation emergency (as defined in REPPIR), to determine an off-site emergency planning area (i.e. the area within which, in ONR’s opinion, any member of the public is likely to be affected by such an emergency). In these cases, there is also a legal duty, under the same Regulations, for ONR to determine an area within which prior information is to be distributed to the public.
