    Minutes of the Parish Council Meeting Monday 20th March 7.30pm Heckfield Memorial Hall Present: Cllr Janice Hughes (JH) (Chairman); Cllr Bob Aylmer (BA); Cllr David Sexton (DS); Cllr Alan Woolford (AW). Clerk Susan Turner (ST) Guests: District Councillor Anne Crampton. Members of the public: 1 17.35 PubliC OPen SeSSiOn i A Hound Green resident expressed appreciation for the new benches etc on the Green and particularly the footbridge to Vicarage Lane. It was noted that Cllr Anne Crampton had been instrumental in approving the allocation of S106 funding. A separate dog waste bin was suggested for Hound Green, the current multi- purpose bin being close to the picnic table. ii A Vicarage lane resident emailed questions and concerns as unable to attend the meeting. ‘1. The speed of vehicles and lack of care in country lanes especially driving over banks and verges. Could Highways be persuaded to put in more passing spaces in Bottle and Vicarage Lanes?’ Parish Council comment: With cuts in Highways funding this is unlikely to be a priority. This is a question to refer to our County Councillor. ‘2. Asking for volunteers to clear litter from our area. Not much can be done about the rubbish thrown from cars and vans.’ Parish Council would encourage everyone to help tidy up litter from their local area. ‘3. The standard of hedge cutting by councils and their sensitivity to the environment.’ The local landowner is responsible for hedgcutting and is thought to be sensitive to the environment. ‘4. When the B3349 is closed, suggest a one way system in Bottle/Vicarage Lanes.’ Measures for the road closure will be discussed with SE Water and Highways.

  • SOME MEMORIES of HOOK 100 YEARS AGO1 [Written in About 1930, Annotated by Nigel Bell 1998, Transcribed by Martin Whittaker 1998]
    SOME MEMORIES OF HOOK 100 YEARS AGO1 [Written in about 1930, annotated by Nigel Bell 1998, transcribed by Martin Whittaker 1998] Perhaps I may be allowed to generalise before I start along the road I wish to travel. 'Hook': time and, time again has the question cropped up as to the origin of the name. It is a bit obscure but comes, I understand, from the Saxon Hoc meaning a piece of metal bent into a curve for catching, holding and sustaining anything: a snare, a trap, or from the Welsh Hoc meaning a scythe, a curved instrument for cutting grain – a sickle, and in this connection it is generally supposed by authorities that the name originated from the curved highway2. In passing I might say that there are about fourteen 'Hooks' and each one has, or had, a curved road passing through it. Hook itself owes its importance to being situated on this great highway extending from London to the West. During the centuries of the past British, Roman, Saxon, Dane3, Norman and the various European Traders to the great Fairs and Markets have passed on conveyances of their day with their goods and chattels. Kings, Queens, Statesmen, Soldiers and Sailors, all kinds of men, both high and low have passed through our humble hamlet. About a mile from this road, as you all know, are the remains of a castle just across Bartley Heath - generally spoken of as Hook Common. We hardly claim this as part of Hook proper, although it is only in the next parish, and about as close to this Band Hall as it is to Odiham church.

  • Newnham: a History of the Parish and Its Church
    NEWNHAM: A HISTORY OF THE PARISH AND ITS CHURCH SUMMARY Newnham is a long-established community. It dates from well before 1130, which is the earliest written reference. It has some unusual features, for example being built on a ridge away from water. Its church, despite being renovated by the Victorians, yet contains many interesting elements, including a wonderful Norman chancel arch and a carved-in-stone memorial to a priest of the 13th century – comparable to a brass but in this case perhaps unique in Hampshire. Its oldest bell has been ringing over the land since Henry VII was king (1485-1509). It is a charming backwater, aside from the mainstream of headlong 'progress'. A place where the generations have made their contribution and laid their bones – the very essence of rural England. SETTING Newnham, as it exists today, lies on a ridge of high ground above and to the east of the river Lyde. The central feature is The Green enclosed on three sides by a cluster of houses. Here four lanes meet at the crossroads, a fifth leads to the church and a sixth branches away, past the pub. Along these lanes are scattered many dwellings: some very old, others newer. The highest point is the church which stands about 95m or 312 ft above sea level, the Green itself is a little lower. The soil is Plateau Gravel with London Clay preponderating in the surrounding area as it falls away in each direction; immediately along the Lyde the soil is Alluvium (1). The geology to some extent explains the location of the settlement: the plateau gravel lies above a 'saucer' of clay so that rainfall percolates through to the impermeable clay where it is retained; when a well is sunk through the gravel, water is found fairly close to the surface.

Introduction 1.1 Following the revocation of the Regional Spatial Strategies by the new Conservative – Liberal Democrat Coalition Government in June 2010 it is considered necessary to update the original Settlement Hierarchy Background Paper (January 2010) in light of the changes. 1.2 Hart District contains a number of towns and villages that vary in size. It is useful for plan-making purposes to group these settlements into a hierarchy based on an understanding of their current size and level of service provision. 1.3 It is important to note that the hierarchy does not in itself amount to a spatial strategy and does not dictate the levels of growth that will go to different settlements. It is a hierarchy based on the settlements as they are now, rather than as they might look in the future. It is merely a framework around which one or more options for a spatial strategy can be articulated.

Introduction 1.1 The natural environment in Hart has experienced large changes over the past century, in common with most of south eastern England. However, there remains an extremely diverse natural environment in the district, rich in different habitats and species. Hart is characterised by a mosaic of farmland, ancient woodlands, lowland heathlands and water courses. There is also a varied built environment from newer towns such as Fleet and Yateley to rural towns and villages such as Odiham and Hartley Wintney which all contain features which contribute to overall biodiversity resource. 1.2 The publication of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act in 2006 makes biodiversity an important consideration for all local authorities. Section 40 of this act sets out the duty to conserve biodiversity: “Every public authority must, in exercising its functions, have regard, so far as is consistent with the proper exercise of those functions, to the purpose of conserving biodiversity”. 1.3 The adoption of the first Hart Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) in 2012 helped translate national and regional targets into local action, whilst also highlighting species and areas of local importance. The first Hart BAP was implemented by the Council’s Biodiversity Officer in partnership with other groups such as the Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre (HBIC), Hart Countryside Services, Parish Councils, friends of groups and other council departments.
