Not a mobile phone or video in view, just 400 year-old live theatre. As always, the event was well attended with lots to see and do. During the recent hot weather we had a number requests from residents asking if there are any controls on bonfires. This is a Wiltshire Council area of responsibil- ity and their advice on the subject can be found on page 29. Who remembers the ‘Laverstock Panda’, cut into the chalk on Cockey Down al- most 50 years ago? There is little remaining of it now but page 14 has the story of how it came about, as retold by David McCreadie, (one of the original crea- tors) for the Parish Newsletter. As part of it’s on-going series of cutbacks, Wiltshire Council will no longer support parish play parks. Not just in our parish, but across the county. Your Parish Coun- cil’s strong commitment to play parks is on page 12. Students at St Joseph’s school have buried a time-capsule to be opened in 50 years time. Amongst the items buried are drawings and examples of students’ work from its first 50 years– going as far back as 1964. Details on page 20. Gordon Hoskins of Napier Crescent, our oldest newsletter deliverer now in his late 90's, has decided that it's time to handover his delivery round to someone else. He has even managed to source his own replacement. Gordon has delivered our newsletter for over 17 years, outstanding service for which the Parish Council is extremely grateful. Parish Council meetings for September and October Mon 18th September Greentrees Junior School Saunders Ave 7pm Mon 16th October River Bourne Community Farm Laverstock 7pm Parish Council meetings are held in each of the parish wards to enable residents to have easy access to local meetings.

A deep choir. It is the lofty clouds, that work in heaven, Going on their holiday to the sea. Ted Hughes Our chalk stream, the River Bourne, which runs quietly through the Parish from Ford to Milford, is having a makeover this autumn courtesy of the Wiltshire Wild- life Trust. All residents especially children who can fit into size 4 waders or above are cordially invited to join the Wildlife Trust team, jump into the Bourne and help. If you have smaller feet than size 4, you can still do your bit on the river bank by helping the Wildlife Trust to plant trees to help shade the water and keep fish nice and cool next summer. (See page 22). The River Bourne, the Downs, Watermeadows, Woodland and Arable land are all precious resources that bring us much wealth in so many ways. Our latest play park at Old Sarum reflects the riches of nature in its’ design. Children can scram- ble up grassy banks, weave their way through wooden, tree trunk like structures and skip from one boulder to another. Art and technology are also being brought to bear so we can make the best use of what nature has to offer in our Parish. The new bee trail sign in Laverstock will reveal an Augmented Reality Ashy Mining Bee on your smart phone if you down- load the Salisbury Bee Trail app. The bee on the sign by the One Stop Shop Apple tree was painted by an artist of Horrible Histories fame who has turned his talents to bee art for the trail. Residents at Riverdown Park and the wider Bishopdown Farm settlement have also begun to help artist Kerry Lemon with inspiration for her public art which will be completed in autumn 2018. Kerry is a dab hand at celebrating both natural and historic heritage. Kerry is already finding she is spoilt for choice on both fronts in Laverstock and Ford Parish. We have so many natural and historic riches for all to enjoy – let’s make sure we keep it that way. Laverstock & Ford Parish Newsletter 5 Report on Parish Council Meetings This report covers the meetings held at the River Bourne Community Farm on 19th June 2017 and at the Old Sarum Community Centre on 17th July 2017. At the June meeting the Council spent some time approving its Annual Return. This document confirms all of the financial and governance activities of the Coun- cil for the previous financial year and after approval it is sent off for audit and ap- proval by the external auditors, Grant Thornton. The Council also approved other important documents such as the Asset Register and Insurance Policy. The Chairman reported on the progress that has been made with the developers of Riverdown Park on funding for the new Country Park. The Council agreed to proceed with a new legal agreement with Wiltshire Council and the developer. As soon as this is signed planning permission should be given and work will com- mence. A planning appeal against refusal of an application for a change of use to a resi- dential caravan site of land north of Broken Cross bridge was discussed. The Coun- cil decided that it was against the appeal proposals. A new policy that permits Councillors to claim travelling expenses around the Par- ish was approved. It is nearly a 6-mile drive between the south and north extremi- ties of the Parish and the cost to Councillors, who receive no other allowance or remuneration, can soon mount up. PC Matthew Holland from the South Wiltshire Community Policing Team attended the July meeting. He gave a report on local policing issues and answered several questions from Councillors. Grant applications by St Joseph’s Catholic School and Citizens Advice Wiltshire were discussed. Approval was given for a grant of £100 to Citizens Advice Wilt- shire. A great deal of time was spent at both meetings discussing the issue of Wiltshire Council owned and operated play areas in the Parish. There are five play areas at Bishopdown Farm and one at Old Sarum. An article in this Newsletter explains the issue more fully. The Clerk approved the expenditure of £1590 of the Council’s reserves to keep the largest play area in Sycamore Drive open and another £211 to reopen the St Jude’s Close play area. The Council resolved to investigate taking over responsibility for these play areas while at the same time criticising the Wilt- shire Council Policy. Wiltshire Council have a very small budget for maintenance and will close play areas when they became unsafe. The issue of Area Board representation was discussed at length. Area Boards con- sist of several Wiltshire Councillors and a Community Engagement Manager and they have access to funds to assist the local community with grants and highway projects. Most of our Parish is in Southern Wiltshire Area but Bishopdown Farm is in the Salisbury Area. The Council would like to see the whole Parish move into Southern Wiltshire in order to give a fairer and more equitable representation for the residents of Bishopdown Farm. The Clerk provided copies of the recent Internal Audit report on the Council’s fi- nances and governance, and reported on the actions that were being taken to rec- tify a few minor criticisms. Parish Planning - make it happen! Interested in contributing to Parish Planning? Then keep the 7th of September free in your diary. On the 7th of September at 7.30 pm at the Hampton Park Pavilion, we will have our inaugural meeting of our Parish Planning team. We had an excellent response to the flyer in the last Parish Council newsletter with 13 residents coming forward to volunteer (thanks to all of them).

However, a letter to the councils from the Leader of Wiltshire Council, Philip Whitehead and the Chief Executive, Terence Herbert, confirmed Wiltshire Councils views that: • Greater clarity needs to be given to communities in the guidance about what Neighbourhood Plans can and can’t influence; • The current anomaly regarding the weight given to those over two years old in decision making must be urgently addressed; • The process of updating Neighbourhood Plans should be simplified or they should be extended to run over a longer time span, in line with the Wiltshire Local Plan; • The current situation where neighbourhood plans are being made increasing less valid over time and requiring frequent updating with all the effort that entails it not functional; and • Neighbourhood plans need to be linked more directly into the duration of the Wiltshire Local Plan. Wiltshire Council has also offered meetings with the town and parish councils at ‘sometime in the future’ but wishes to wait until the government has responded to the consultation on proposed long-term changes to the national planning system before considering its own next steps.

  • Appeal Documents
    Ian McLennan Windsor House, 47 Church Road Laverstock, Salisbury SP1 1QY 01722 332233 [email protected] Planning Inspector Submission to Appeal of Wiltshire Council Planning Appln S/2009/1943 500 Dwellings in the Strategic Gap between Ford and Hampton Park both within the rural parish of Laverstock & Ford. I thank the Inspector for accommodating me at this time (9.30am 5 May). Very much appreciated. First some background. I was first elected to represent Laverstock ward as part of Salisbury District Council in May 1995. At the time Hampton Park was a field. The initial 300 houses had been built at Bishopdown Farm and the L&F Parish Council had been persuaded that they should permit a boundary change as the new properties were nearer to Bishopdown council estate than Laverstock. Permission for Bishopdown Farm was granted on appeal. Later, I was approached by the then Forward Planning manager and advised that the next application would be for 500 dwellings and that the council wished to reach agreement with the developer for much needed infrastructure which was not granted at the Bishopdown Farm appeal. Agreement was reached and the existing Hampton Park was built and now has the 500 dwellings. It remains in the parish of Laverstock & Ford by a unanimous vote of the whole parish, when a further boundary change was suggested. The remaining land was left as a vital strategic gap between Ford and Hampton Park communities. In fact planning permission was granted for a club house and golf course on all the remaining land and this attracted many buyers to Hampton Park.

  • Laverstock & Ford Parish Newsletter
    Laverstock & Ford Parish Newsletter Welcome to issue 151 of the Parish Newsletter. The big news in this issue is the completion of the new community centre in Old Sarum. The building of this centre was part of the planning agreement back in 2007 and whilst it has taken time to come to fruition, it’s now a reality. The building has been passed from Persimmon to the Parish Council who have leased the building, rent-free, to the newly formed Old Sarum Community Centre Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) who will maintain and manage the centre. The building is a state-of-the-art facility, complete with a fully fitted com- mercial kitchen, which will provide a meeting place for clubs, groups and individ- ual hirers who wish to hold a function locally. Booking details can be found on page 10. Regrettably, The Bishopdown Farm Residents Association has been dissolved, it has done sterling work for residents from it’s inception . It seems to be a gen- eral trend that once a new development gets passed the 15 year period, resi- dent associations have done the job for which they were formed and are dis- banded. Thanks are due to the committee members for the time and concern with which they made the development such a pleasant place in which to live. I’m sure that they will still individually monitor any problems and report them to Wiltshire or Laverstock & Ford Councils. John Seymour It is with great sadness that we heard of the passing away of John Seymour on Friday 27th February.

  • Landscape Sensitivity Assessment for Laverstock and Ford Parish, Wiltshire Executive Summary
    Landscape Sensitivity Assessment for Laverstock and Ford Parish, Wiltshire Executive Summary L138/R03C 23 June 2020 www.landshapedesign.com Landscape Sensitivity Assessment for Laverstock and Ford Parish, Wiltshire - Executive Summary 1. INTRODUCTION This report has been commissioned by Laverstock and Ford Parish Council in order to provide background information with regard to the sensitivity and capacity of the landscape of the parish of Laverstock and Ford in Wiltshire in relation to potential future residential development. This information is intended to form part of the Neighbourhood Development Plan. The plan is led by the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group (NPSG). The scope of this study is to identify and analyse the potential impact of further development on the landscape of the parish, especially when viewed from the main public rights of way and viewpoints used by residents and visitors within the parish and also from adjacent locations, such as Old Sarum and Figsbury Ring Scheduled Monuments, the Old Sarum Airfield Conservation Area and the main roads into the parish. The result is a baseline mapping of low to high sensitivity of low rise (2 storey) housing development across the three identified areas of the parish (shown in Fig. 1.1 below). Outline recommendations for mitigation and development have been made. Winterbourne Earls This report should be read in Longhedge conjunction with the main Village Figsbury report: Laverstock and Ford Ring Old Sarum Landscape Sensitivity Village Assessment (L138R01) and Area 3 the Landscape Sensitivity Old Assessment Methodology Old Sarum Airfield Sarum Ford (L138R02).

    REPORT 21.024Local Plan Counsultation Responses.docx LAVERSTOCK & FORD PARISH COUNCIL Report for Agenda Item 21.024 Subject: Local Plan Consultation Joint Responses Date: 12th February 2021 Author: Trudi Deane, Deputy Clerk. ________________________________________________________________________ 1. Report Summary. 1.1 This Report describes the background to proposed joint responses from Laverstock and Ford Parish Council and the Laverstock and Ford Neighbourhood Planning Group to the public consultation on the Wiltshire Local Plan Review. 2. Background. 2.1 The Wiltshire Core Strategy, which is a substantive part of the Development Plan for Wiltshire, is under review, and this review is called the Local Plan Review. 2.2 The review will set out aims up until 2036, with a framework for addressing housing needs and other economic, social and environmental priorities. 2.3 The Local Plan will be the basis against which planning applications are determined and neighbourhood plans developed. It is a legally required document containing planning policies and site allocations to deliver the Council's strategic priorities. 3. Public Consultation. 3.1 On Tuesday 26th January, Wiltshire Council ran an online consultation event, where a number of the core proposals were outlined, together with a presentation on Planning for Salisbury. 3.2 Based on Government guidance, the emerging strategy for the Salisbury Housing Market Area identifies the need for an additional 5240 in the period 2016 – 2036. Of these, 1100 have already been built, and a further 3200 either already have permission, or are in the pipeline. This leaves a shortfall of 940. 3.2 Three primary sites were identified for possible development to address the bulk of this shortfall (610 units) with the assumption that the remaining 330 would be met through infill or small scale brownfield conversions by 2036.

See pages 14 & 15 for the stories of V.C. recipients who are commemorated there. It has been very gratifying to see the young children in Old Sarum making the most of the newly created play area at Norman Drive. See page 22 for pictures of the official opening. A much larger play/leisure area for older youngsters, with a trim trail incorporating fitness equipment, is planned for The Green (MoD Open Space) this summer. As we head towards summer and the barbeque season, it’s worth reading the safety advice from Dorset & Wiltshire Fire & rescue on page 30. The Salisbury Schools Mini Marathon takes place in Laverstock on Saturday 20th May 9.00am – 12.00pm. The event is a huge success for all of the children who take part (nearly 1,500) and is very much part of the Salisbury Schools’ calendar. The event committee do their best to minimise the disruption to local residents. See page 31 for details. Do you have a few hours a month to help maintain the beautiful churchyard at St Andrews?

  • Covid-19 Community Groups Directory
    COVID-19 COMMUNITY GROUPS DIRECTORY updated 11 May 2020 1 DM20_295 ONLINE INTRODUCTION The communities of Wiltshire have risen to the challenge of COVID-19 to make sure people are supported through this very difficult time. The council has collated all the community groups we have identified so far so that those who need support for themselves or a loved one can make direct contact. In the time available we have only been able to collate this directory and therefore this is not an endorsement of the groups listed but it is for you to decide what use you will make of the offers of support at this time. If anyone uses a community group and has concerns about the response/practice please inform us by emailing [email protected] giving the clear reasons for your concern. The council wants to ensure that everybody can access the support they need. If you make contact with a group and they cannot help or you do not get a response within the required timeframe, then please do not hesitate to contact the council by emailing [email protected] and we will ensure you get the support you need. FOOD BANKS At this difficult time, food banks are in need of more volunteers and donations. If you are able to help in any way please get in touch with your local food bank. Food banks are there to support vulnerable people in a crisis, which is usually subject to a referral from a trusted source such as a social worker.
