Medstead Parish Council refer to the CP19 Planning Policy as there are reservations regarding the size and bulk of the extension and look to the Planning Officer to consider the guideline of a 50% increase in size over the original dwelling on the plot, bearing in mind that the current existing property on the site is already significantly larger than the original dwelling. vi. 25029/006 Foxes Mead, Hattingley Road, Medstead, Alton, GU34 5NQ Ground floor and first floor rear extension Medstead Parish Council refer to the CP19 Planning Policy as there are reservations regarding the size and bulk of the extension and look to the Planning Officer to consider the guideline of a 50% increase in size over the original dwelling on the plot, as it is believed that there have already been extension approved and built. vii. 36034/001 The Brambles, Homestead Road, Medstead, Alton, GU34 5PW Single storey rear extension, single storey side extension and detached garage following demolition of conservatory, rear extension, side utility and garage.

Four Marks Parish x. 56082/003 Mount Royal, 46 Lymington Bottom, Four Marks, Alton, GU34 5AH Outline application - Residential development of up to 65 dwellings with public open space, landscaping and sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) and the demolition of one dwelling to form a vehicular access point from Lymington Bottom. (Access to be considered). Although this proposed development lies within the neighbouring parish of Four Marks, it is situated in the planning area known as Four Marks and south Medstead and within the designated area of the Medstead and Four Marks Neighbourhood Plan. Medstead Parish Council, therefore, consider it appropriate that they comment upon this planning application. We fully support the pre-application advice given by the Principal Planning Officer in his letter dated 13th September 2017 (56082/001) which we believe to be relevant in this case and do not wish to repeat his cogent advice. However, we have the following observations to make which we believe are supported by recent refusals by the Planning Inspectorate arising from appeals against EHDC planning decisions for applications within Medstead Parish. The Joint Core Strategy designates Four Marks and south Medstead as a Level 3 Small Local Service Centre and required provide a minimum of 175 dwellings over the plan period to 2028. To date in excess of 316 approvals haves been granted, all of which are currently under construction. Both parishes share a number of essential facilities that are already under great strain, for example schools and doctor’s surgeries. Until these and other necessary infrastructure inadequacies are rectified then no additional development of this size should be considered. We consider that any further approvals would put undue pressure on the infrastructure and facilities of the community. The Planning Inspectorate agree: Application 39009/005 Appeal Ref: APP/M1710/W/15/3134150 Land to the North of The Telephone Exchange, Lymington Bottom Road, Medstead, Hampshire GU34 5EP 4 9th February 2016 23. Four Marks/Medstead has an identified allocation of a minimum of 175 new dwellings; the Council have provided evidence to confirm that there are permissions which bring the housing provision in the area to well in excess of this figure, in the region of 316. On this basis neither the Allocations Plan nor the Neighbourhood Plan are proposing allocating additional sites or extending the settlement policy boundary to provide additional sites. 24. The additional 175 dwellings to be provided across the plan period was the subject of a sustainability appraisal. The fact that this target has been met and substantially exceeded early in the plan period demonstrates the pressure that the settlement is under, and which is likely to continue. The small level of services that are within the village are under significant pressure given the size of the settlement and the pace of increase at this point in time. This adds to the pressure on services and facilities including in terms of public open space, community facilities and education. Appeal refused We believe that the linear character of Lymington Bottom which is on the edge of the settlement should be protected and the cul-de-sac development should be resisted.

  • Re-Organisation Proposal for the Benefice of Bentworth, Lasham, Medstead and Shalden (BLMS)
    Re-organisation proposal for the Benefice of Bentworth, Lasham, Medstead and Shalden (BLMS) Due to financial difficulties in the Diocese of Winchester, plans are being considered at the moment for a re-organisation of the North Hampshire Parish Boundaries, of which the Benefice of Bentworth, Lasham, Medstead and Shalden, within the Deanery of Alton, is a part. If agreed upon, this would make the saving of one stipendiary post (vicar), as the individual BLMS parishes will be merged with already existing parishes. The proposal is that the parishes of Bentworth, Lasham and Shalden will merge with the Parish of the Resurrection in Alton and the parish of Medstead with the Parish of the Good Shepherd, Four Marks. This is part of the consultation process which will be ongoing in the next months. There is an information pack issued by the Diocese of Winchester which gives more information about the proposals for the Deanery of Alton. Please read those additional papers which should be on this web site. An important aspect of how churches are managed is called governance. The governance options for the present BLMS churches are that, when joining the parish in Alton or Four Marks respectively, they could: a) Remain as Parish Churches b) Become individual ‘Chapels of Ease’ c) Convert to ‘Festival Churches.’ In remaining a Parish Church, it retains its PCC; its burial, baptism and wedding rights and the obligation to pay its parish share (known here as the CMF). Description of ‘Chapel of Ease’ A chapel-of-ease can have any number of services (a minimum of 6 is recommended), but does not normally (traditionally) have burial, baptism or wedding rights, though the Bishop could licence it for such.

    PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS 119 THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE ROMANO - BRITISH POPULATION IN THE BASINGSTOKE AREA. By SHIMON APPLEBAUM, BXITT., D.PHIL. HE district round Basingstoke offers itself as the subject for a study of Romano-British . population development and. Tdistribution because Basingstoke Museum contains a singu­ larly complete collection of finds made in this area over a long period of years, and preserved by Mr. G. W. Willis. A number of the finds made are recorded by him and J. R. Ellaway in the Proceedings of the Hampshire Field Club (Vol. XV, 245 ff.). The known sites in the district were considerably multiplied by the field-work of S. E. Winbolt, who recorded them in the Proceedings of the same Society.1 I must express my indebtedness to Mr. G. W. Willis, F.S.A., Hon. Curator of Basingstoke Museum, for his courtesy and assist­ ance in affording access to the collection for the purposes of this study, which is part of a broader work on the Romano-British rural system.2 The area from which the bulk of the collection comes is limited on the north by the edge of the London Clay between Kingsclere and Odiham ; its east boundary is approximately that, of the east limit of the Eastern Hampshire High Chalk Region' southward to Alton. The south boundary crosses that region through Wilvelrod, Brown Candover and Micheldever, with outlying sites to the south at Micheldever Wood and Lanham Down (between Bighton and Wield). The western limit, equally arbitrary, falls along the line from Micheldever through Overton to Kingsclere.

  • Larger Sites: Objection to Chawton Park Farm: Four Marks/Medstead Support for Bentley Northbrook Park: Whitehill/Bordon
    11/15/2019 Mail - Woodgate, Jenny - Outlook Larger sites: Objection to Chawton Park Farm: Four Marks/Medstead Support for Bentley Northbrook Park: Whitehill/Bordon Mon 14/10/2019 16:50 To: EHDC - Local Plan <[email protected]> The larger sites already proposed for Whitehill/Bordon and Bentley/Northbrook Park remain the right sites for larger developments. I support both proposals. They allow sustainable infrastructure and limit impact on others. In particular each allows access in a workable way to major roads. The confluence or roads the Surrey side of the border is an issue for these 2 sites but funds from the development can be used substantially to ameliorate those problems. The Four Marks/ Medstead sites all need large further expenditure on the clogged and destructive impact of the A31 at Four Marks and I object to these sites. The need for a Four Marks bypass has been accepted for decades but no one has any current plans to address this. For Chawton Park Farm large highway expenditure is needed to make Northfield Lane and the A 31 /A32 junction roundabout safe and functionable. I object to this proposal. On all these sites if funding was provided that detracts from the funds needed to make any material contribution to the main problem the Surrey side of the border, principally on the Farnham bypass. There are 2 additional points since earlier consultation on the unsuitability of the Chawton Park Farm larger site. Firstly, Beech Neighbourhood Plan has been subject to Regulation 16 consultation ending in September. Section 5.1 specifies the need to prevent coalescence of Medstead, Wivelrod and Beech and ironically shows the wooded area Ackender Wood and Bush Leaze Wood, which run to the Parish Boundary with Chawton and the western boundary of the proposed larger site for Chawton Park Farm.
