However, NPPF 2019 paragraph 72 makes it clear that a standalone new settlement should be of a size to support a sustainable community, with sufficient access to services and employment opportunities within the development itself or in larger towns where there is good access.

  • Strategic Flood Risk Assessment: Interim Supplement Incorporating Sequential Test
    Strategic Flood Risk Assessment: Interim Supplement Incorporating Sequential Test For the East Hampshire District Local Plan Regulation 18 consultation December 2018 SFRA Interim Supplement 2018 Contents 1.0 Introduction 2.0 Background 3.0 Local Flood Risk Context 4.0 Planning Context 5.0 Site Requiring Sequential/Exception Test 6.0 Conclusion Appendix 1 – Sequential Testing Scoring on LAA sites and sites brought forward from the development plan Appendix 2 – Sequential Test Methodology and Scoring Criteria Appendix 3 – A list of sites with planning permission 1.0 Introduction 1.1 This document supplements the East Hampshire Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA), October 2018 and supports the East Hampshire Local Plan 2017–2036 (Regulation 18 consultation). The purpose of this document is to demonstrate that proposed site allocations in areas of flood risk are appropriate in the context of the Sequential Test which are required as part of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and its accompanying National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG). However, as this is the first public consultation on the East Hampshire draft Local Plan, the Exception Test has not been carried out at this stage (Regulation 18) as allocations may be subject to change. Those allocations that may require an Exception Test prior to the Proposed Submission Local Plan 2017-2036 (Regulation 19) will be carried out at that time. 1.2 The East Hampshire Local Plan covers the area of East Hampshire outside of the South Downs National Park. This area is known as the Planning Authority area (the ‘Area’). The SFRA 2018 therefore covers the Planning Authority area only but during its preparation neighbouring authorities were consulted to address any cross boundary flood issues to inform the SFRA.

  • EHDC Large Development Sites Consultation – Sept/Oct 2019
    EHDC Large Development Sites Consultation – Sept/Oct 2019 Our Response We have chosen to comment in detail only on the two sites in close proximity to Alton: Neatham Down and Chawton Park Farm. But firstly, some general observations on others of particular significance to the town:- The Four Marks sites Most, if not all, of the Four Marks sites seem to be piece-meal additions to what is already a rapidly expanding village. Like Alton, we feel that Four Marks is already taking more than its fair share of new development, and needs time to develop a proper infrastructure of supporting facilities and services, without the burden of still more housing. Most of the suggested schemes are just crude, unsustainable forms of infill, (eg South Medstead); others, such as Four Marks South and Land South of Winchester Road, would have a severe impact on the visual quality of the landscape on the edges of the village, and change the character of its setting significantly. We would therefore object to any of these sites going forward. Northbrook Farm Whilst this scheme, unlike all the others, has the merit of establishing a genuinely new, independent settlement, with its own identity and infrastructure, the landscape impact is considerable: it would create a damaging interruption to what is a pleasant, continuously rural belt of countryside, straddling the Wey Valley for the entire stretch between Farnham and Alton, for example when viewed from the main railway line. We would therefore object to this site progressing any further. Whitehill & Bordon Of all the sites, the potential for expanding Whitehill & Bordon in the way described seems the most appropriate.

  • 1 Planning Policy Team East Hampshire District Council Penns
    Planning Policy Team East Hampshire District Council Penns Place Petersfield Hampshire GU31 4EX 15 October 2019 Dear Sir / Madam East Hampshire Local Plan 2017-2036 – Large Sites Consultation Thank you for consulting the South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) on your large sites consultation which is seeking to gather comments on the potential large development sites being considered, to help inform the identification of the chosen sites in the Proposed Submission East Hampshire Local Plan. As you are aware, the SDNPA and all relevant authorities (including EHDC) are required to have regard to the purposes of the South Downs National Park as set out in Section 62 of the Environment Act 1995. The purposes are ‘to conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the area’ and ‘to promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of the national park by the public.’ We support East Hampshire’s continuing liaison with neighbouring authorities, including the SDNPA, to ensure cross-boundary strategic priorities are fully addressed. I would take the opportunity to highlight the SDNPA’s strategic cross-boundary priorities which provide a framework for these discussions and are the focus of this consultation response: Conserving and enhancing the natural beauty of the area. Conserving and enhancing the region’s biodiversity (including green infrastructure issues). The delivery of new homes, particularly affordable homes for local people and pitches for Gypsies, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople. The promotion of sustainable tourism. Development of the local economy. Improving the efficiency of transport networks by enhancing the proportion of travel by sustainable modes and promoting policies which reduce the need to travel.

  • Chawton Chawton
    Chawton Chawton 1.0 PARISH Chawton 2.0 HUNDRED Alton 3.0 NGR 470800 137000 4.0 GEOLOGY Lower Chalk 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) Chawton lies 2.5km south-south-west of Alton, set out along a straight road that once formed a section of the A32. The settlement has now been by-passed. The road that forms the approximate north / south axis of Chawton exploits the valley of the Lavant Stream. It was formerly the London to Gosport road (a King’s highway) but it is known locally as The Street (see Paragraph 6.2 for further clarification). The parish church, at the south send of the settlement is situated at c. 115m AOD with little variation at the north end of The Street where it is bisected by the A32. On the west side of the A32 is Chawton Park Wood wherein are the the lines of the park pales of the Medieval Chawton Park. The Park probably dates to 1252 when the St Johns, then Lords of the manor, gained immunity from Forest Law. 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 3 / 1, 3 / 2, 4 / 1, 4 / 2, 5 / 1 and 5 / 2) Church & manor house + irregular row 6.1 Church & manor house Chawton House and the parish church stand as a group within 200m east of the south end of The Street, formerly the London - Gosport road (see Paragraph 5.0). The Lavant Stream flows south / north adjacent to the west side of the churchyard though it is frequently dry. The present Chawton House was begun soon after 1585 and was probably constucted on the site of its Medieval predecessor.
