Most activity by the Blashford Project occurs on and around Ibsley Water and Ivy Lake - the lakes and adjoining tracts of land provide a significant recreational resource for local residents, with an extensive educational role provided through the Blashford Lakes Centre. This w as opened in 1996 by Professor David Bellamy and general public access to the nature reserve has been permitted and promoted since 2006. During that time the permissive footpath network has been extended to 8km of rolled gravel footpaths and the reserve also boasts 8 bird w atching hides and screens. Ease of accessibility has been considered throughout the reserves development and in 2010 Blashford Lakes was the Overall Winner of the New Forest Access for All Aw ards. The nature reserve is managed as the Blashford Project by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust in partnership with the New Forest District Council and the owners of the land comprising the site, Sembcorp Bournemouth Water and Wessex Water.

Overall participation in formal education activity during this period was comparable with the previous year, although there was variation within the type of formal education delivered; a 2500 decrease in pre-school and life long learning activity attendance was offset by an increase in the numbers of primary school aged children. This year, like last year, saw the 2000 team delivering to slightly more Key Stage 2 (“junior” aged children) than Key Stage 1(“ infants” ). 1500 As predicted in the last annual report, particularly noticeable in this period was an apparent impact of the recession on our 1000 autumn/winter bookings, which were significantly lower than had been becoming established. That the figures overall did not fall is due to the very busy spring and summer term, 500 managed successfully by the team despite changes in staff through the appointment of “Outdoor Learning Tutors” . As a 0 result no visits were cancelled and no impact on visitor satisfaction with the delivery was noted.

  • Consultation Statement New Forest National Park Local Plan 2016
    Consultation Statement New Forest National Park Local Plan 2016 - 2036 May 2018 1. Introduction 1.1 The New Forest National Park Authority is undertaking a review of the local planning policies covering the National Park – currently contained within the Core Strategy & Development Management Policies DPD (adopted December 2010). This review is in response to changes in national policy and the experiences of applying the adopted planning policies for the past 7 years. The review will result in the production of a revised Local Plan covering the whole of the National Park. 1.2 The revised Local Plan will form a key part of the statutory ‘development plan’ for the National Park and will ultimately guide decisions on planning applications submitted within the Park. The Local Plan will set out how the planning system can contribute towards the vision for the New Forest National Park in 2036 and will include detailed planning policies and allocations that seek to deliver the two statutory National Park purposes and related socio-economic duty. 1.3 This Statement is a record of the consultation undertaken during the Local Plan- making process which started in 2015. As required by Regulation 22 of the Town and Country (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012, it sets out who has been invited to make representations on the Local Plan; summarises the main issues raised; and how they have been taken into account during the development of the Plan. The Statement covers the Regulation 18 consultation on the scope and main issues to be covered in the Local Plan review; the public consultation on the non- statutory draft Local Plan published in October 2016; the subsequent consultation on potential alternative housing sites undertaken in June – July 2017; and finally the statutory 6-week public consultation on the proposed Submission draft Local Plan in January and February 2018 (Regulation 19).

Life 3 studies in the Blackwater and Highland Water sub-catchments found that glides tend be to the most common form of flow followed by riffles and runs. Pools (still water) are noticeably rare in modified reaches being replaced by glides or runs. Pools where they occur are usually found at meander bends apices. Cascades and small water falls also occur at the faces of debris dams. Channelisation tends to affect the flow type in that it reduces the number of pools. Dominant flow types for the Highland Water and Black Water are shown in Figure 10. It is probable that a similar pattern would be found in the other river catchments. 3.4.6 Bank & bed material Bank material is made up of clay, fines, sand and gravel.

These are tentatively dated to the Roman and/or medieval periods. Several pits and postholes were also observed, the majority of which were undated but some were medieval. Of particular significance due to their rarity was the discovery of three prehistoric pits. One of these was of Early Neolithic date with a radiocarbon determination of 3517–3393 cal BC (KIA39673), a second with Beaker pottery of Early Bronze Age date produced a radiocarbon determination of 2134–2078 cal BC (KIA39674),and a third was of Middle Bronze Age or Iron Age date. Introduction An archaeological excavation was carried out by Thames Valley Archaeological Services at Nea Farm, Somerley, Ringwood, Hampshire (SU 1290 0820) (Fig. 1). The work was commissioned by Mr Andy Cadell of Tarmac Southern Limited, Stancombe Quarry, Stancombe Lane, Flax Bourton, Bristol, BS48 3QD.
