  • NFNPA Matter 2
    New Forest National Park Local Plan 2016 – 2036 Examination Statement – New Forest National Park Authority Matter 2 – Duty to Co-operate Issue – Whether the Authority has complied with the duty to co-operate in the preparation of the Local Plan? General 2.1 What strategic, cross-border matters have arisen through the preparation of the Local Plan? 1. In response to the Localism Act 2011 (CD34) and the requirement for planning authorities to engage constructively and on an on-going basis on strategic matters, the Authority has prepared a Duty to Co-operate Statement (CD19). This sets out the work done in response to the requirements of the duty. 2. Section 5 of CD19 summarises the co-operation on cross-boundary matters that has gone into the preparation of the Submission draft Local Plan since the review commenced in 2015. As well as the four stages of formal consultation, liaison has taken place through the Authority’s Local Plan Working Groups in 2016; regular officer and member liaison meetings; and the duty to co-operate discussions initiated with neighbouring authorities in the three Housing Market Areas of Southampton, Bournemouth / Poole and Salisbury by the National Park Authority and New Forest District Council in summer 2017. 3. From the liaison that has taken place since the Local Plan review commenced in summer 2015, three main strategic issues that require cross-boundary co- operation have been identified. These relate to: (i) the provision of housing to meet identified needs; (ii) habitat mitigation measures to ensure that the planned level of development in the area does not affect the integrity of the protected habitats of the New Forest (including the coastline); and (iii) the former Fawley Power Station site, which is a strategically important development site requiring cross boundary working and co-operation between the National Park Authority and New Forest District Council.

  • Hythe and Dibden Neighbourh
    1 December 2015 Designating the Hythe & Dibden Neighbourhood Area NEW FOREST NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY REPORT TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR STRATEGY & PLANNING AND CHAIR OF PLANNING DEVELOPMENT CONTROL COMMITTEE (PDCC) DESIGNATING THE HYTHE & DIBDEN NEIGHBOURHOOD AREA AS IT RELATES TO THE AREA WITHIN THE NEW FOREST NATIONAL PARK Report by: David lllsley, Policy Manager 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Neighbourhood Plans were introduced by the Localism Act 2011 to give communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development of their local area. Neighbourhood Plans are statutory documents that, once adopted, form part of the 'development plan' for the area. As the New Forest is a parished area, Neighbourhood Plans can be undertaken by parish or town councils if they chose to prepare one. The National Park Authority has a role in supporting communities in preparing a Neighbourhood Plan by giving advice and assistance to the town/parish council. 1.2 Neighbourhood planning is not a legal requirement, but a right which communities in England can chose to use. Under the relevant Neighbourhood Planning Regulations, in order to start the formal process of preparing a Neighbourhood Plan a town/parish council first makes an application to the local planning authority for the designation of the area that their Neighbourhood Plan will cover (Regulation 6). 2. AREA APPLICATION BY HYTHE & DIBDEN PARISH COUNCIL 2.1 In a letter dated 15 July 2015 (Appendix B), Hythe & Dibden Parish Council applied to New Forest District Council and the New Forest National Park Authority - as the Parish includes land within both the boundary of the District (circa 75% of the land area of the parish) and the National Park (25% of the land area of the parish) - for the area of their proposed Neighbourhood Plan to cover the whole of the parish.

  • 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.
