To avoid repetition this supplementary report focuses on the interpretation of Policy SD 31, following receipt of a further Consultee response from the South Downs National Park Authority. For ease of reference the original report is appended as Appendix 1. 2 Further Consultee Response South Downs National Park Authority Full response as follows: Confirm agreement with the Planning Committee report on the application. ‘It is important to consider the purpose of individual Local Plan policies as well as the detail of the policy. Paragraph 7.91 of the South Downs Local Plan (SDLP) states that the purpose of Policy SD31 is ‘ to avoid the over-extension of existing dwellings and the adverse impact that this has on the character and appearance of both settlements and the countryside…and seeks to protect the limited supply of small and medium- sized homes in the National Park.’ We have recently produced a diagram to guide the decision making process in regard to SD31.

    The Mediaeval Paving Tiles of the Alton Area of N. E. Hampshire

    PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS 289 THE MEDIAEVAL PAVING TILES OF THE ALTON AREA OF N.E. HAMPSHIRE. By THE REV. G. E. C. KNAPP. HE interest of the writer in the study of Mediaeval Paving Tiles was aroused by the paper on the Tiles of Titchfield TAbbey in the Proceedings of the Hampshire Archaeological Society, Vol. XVII, Part I, and by Dr. and Mrs. A. R. Green, without whose help and encouragement the writer would not have embarked on the task of recording the tiles found in this part of the County, and to whom any value which the paper may have is due. The writer found ready assistance in this local research in a group of young people in whom, as part of their preparation for Confirmation, he was trying to arouse an interest in the inheritance which is ours in our ancient churches. The writer would record his appreciation of the help of the Misses Diana and Jennifer French, who traced many of the tiles and prepared the drawings for the illustration of this paper. Starting with our own church at Hartley Mauditt, the tiles there were recorded, and then, going further afield, Selborne was the objective. But the interest and enthusiasm of the young tile hunters was heightened by the discovery of further tiles in the churches of Faringdon and Binsted, which, Dr. Green assured us, had not been recorded in any of the books or reports on the Church treasures of Hampshire. The following churches in the Alton area have been inspected, those containing mediaeval tiles being shown in block letters : New Alresford, Old Alresford, ALTON ST.

    Objec on to Large Site Development at Chawton Park Farm

This is why the site was rejected as unsuitable in the original Land Assessment, which has since been changed. These are the key objecons: 1) There are significant issues with access. Vehicle access is clearly unsuitable at this locaon, in part due to the 280 homes to be developed on Lord Mayor Trealor’s land 200m to the east. Chawton Park Rd will see hugely increase traffic, especially as the development proposes no shopping and has few other amenies and the development is over 1.5km from Alton town centre. This Road will be prone to significant traffic at peak mes alongside an increase in accident risk. Perhaps more significant is the access to the south through the railway arch onto the A31. This will be the main access route for the 1200 homes and, with the average vehicles per home in 2018 being 1.4 (Department for Transport), this means an esmated 1680 vehicles or probably more in reality due to poor and expensive public transport (the 64 bus is the most expensive route in the enre UK) and the very rural locaon. There are properes either side of the road north of the bridge with 4m between them. This means that a single lane will be needed right up to the arch and will not be able to have migaon for increased traffic.
