  • Buriton Village Design Statement 2017
    Buriton Village Design Statement 2017 Approved and adopted by The South Downs National Park Authority 2017 Buriton Village Design Statement 2017 Updated design guidance for the parish Introduction The Buriton Village Design Statement was originally published and adopted by East Hampshire District Council in January 2000 – one of the first to be produced in the District – with the community being praised, not just for the content of the policy document, but for the way in which it had been produced: including extensive public consultation, involvement and engagement. The resulting design guidelines covered the whole parish – including Buriton, Ditcham, Nursted and Weston. With the passage of time, some changes to the planning system and with some new issues affecting developments in the parish, Buriton Parish Council has overseen updates to the original Village Design Statement in 2005-8 and in 2015-17 as part of wider exercises: each with widespread consultation and community engagement. What is a Village Design on an understanding of the It has been adopted as l the National Park Authority Statement? area’s past and present.

  • Buriton Buriton
    Buriton Buriton 1.0 PARISH Buriton 2.0 HUNDRED Finchdean 3.0 NGR 474000 120000 4.0 GEOLOGY Upper Greensand abounding Lower Chalk 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) Buriton is at 90m AOD. Within 400m SW are the lower slopes of an area of high Downland known as Queen Elizabeth Country Park (or War Down), a feature that rises to 244m AOD at its northern end. One kilometre north-west of Buriton is the A3 (T) Horndean-Petersfield road and it is a south-east branch of this route that enters the settlement, where it takes a sharp turn to the north-east close to the parish church. A tributary of the River Rother flows through Buriton, its source being on the nearby downs. On the west side of Buriton C20 housing has filled many of the spaces that were apparent in 1840 (Map 3). A relatively large housing estate has been added to the north end of the settlement. 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 3, 4 / 1, 4 / 2, 5 / 1 & 5 / 2) Church and manor house + regular & irregular rows The church and manor house is at the heart of Buriton and it is here that there is a major intersection of routeways. South Lane approaches from the south-west, an old route from Portsmouth and little more than a bridle path in places. At Buriton church the road splits three ways. The High Street and Bones Lane lead north-westwards where both join the A3 (T) Portsmouth-Petersfield Road. North Lane is effectively a continuation of South Lane linking Buriton with Sheet, Liss and Greatham.
