Description of Site The application site is located to the west of Basingstoke on an area of land known as Lordsfields Plantation to the north west of Overton and to the south west of Quidhampton. The field in which the site is located operates as a solar farm; planning permission having been granted in 2014 (planning permission 14/01777/FUL). To the north of the site lies the main railway line linking Basingstoke to Andover. A belt of landscaping and mature trees lie on either side of the railway track and form the field boundary with access from Court Drove, a single track to the east of the site. Public access extends along Court Drove to the east with the nearest Public Right of Way sitting approximately 475m to the west beyond intervening woodland and connects to the Harrow Way to the north of the site (by approximately 1km). The land to the north of the railway track falls within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The nearest residential property, Ridgewood, is positioned approximately 255m to the south, with the property, Tanelorn, lying approximately 270m to the south west. Both properties benefit from screening in the form of mature trees within their curtilage. Beyond a further belt of trees to the south of these properties lies the Overton Church of England Primary School. Due to the distance and intervening trees and buildings the application site is well screened. The fields surrounding the subject site are agricultural in nature. Proposal The application seeks planning permission for the installation of a 15m monopole of an olive brown colour and containing supporting antennas. At ground level five cabinets of a fir green colour are to be positioned adjacent to the monopole of varying sizes but cumulatively measuring 3.4m in width, a maximum of 1.2m in depth and a maximum of 1.9m in height. Ancillary development would include two inspection chambers either side of the monopole. Supporting information to the application states that the telecommunications apparatus is required as part of the network improvement programme to improve coverage and capacity in the area particularly along the railway line for the Emergency Services Network as well as local users noting that demand for coverage has increased with more people now working from home on a regular basis. Amended Plans Amended plans have been received which altered the design from a lattice tower to a thinner monopole and reduced the tower height from 20m to 15m. Close board fencing to enclose the compound has also been removed. A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal and Tree Survey was also submitted to support the development. Consultations Cllr Tilbury: "There was an attempt to build a 25m high mast close to this location back in 2005 which after a campaign through the school we managed to get refused by the DC committee due to various concerns, particularly the visual impact and concerns over the anxiety around health issues. The application is BDB/61512. This site is closer to the school and in a highly visible location next to Court Drove which is a popular route for leisure and recreational purposes. I also understand that the landowner has not been consulted and has indicated they do not support this site, which I would have thought the applicant would have had the foresight to check first…" Overton Parish Council: "Objection - the parish council was concerned that the landowner's permission had not been sought before the application had been submitted. The impact of the mast on the NWD AONB was of concern - this area had to be protected. The mast would also be visible from most of the village and would impact on the landscape. The location was also close to a byway and was not secure. The lack of prior consultation with the borough councillors and parish council as well as the school was considered to be desultory. Whilst it was accepted that better communications and 5G were required, the placing of a mast in open countryside was not the answer. There were already two masts at the northern end of the village and it seemed that a mast sharing arrangement would be more appropriate." Landscape: Initial comments: Objections to impact on landscape character and visual amenity. Comments on amendments: Objections to impact on landscape character and visual amenity. Final comments: Objection as it would be a visual intrusion for users of the PRoW's Overton 5 and 6, as well as users of Court Drove. The location of the site adjacent to a national designation (AONB) reinforces the sensitivity of the local landscape character and the impact this would have on the visual amenity of that landscape. Trees: Initial Comments: Survey required. Final Comments: None received. Biodiversity: Initial Comments: Survey required. Final Comments: No objections subject to conditions Network Rail: Advise that the development contacts Network Rail prior to construction. Public Observations Twenty seven letters of objection have been received raising concerns on the following grounds (in summary): Impact on the character of the area/design The 20m mast would completely disregard the beautiful rural character of the area. Although adjacent to the solar farm, this is screened whereas the height of the mast provides a different proposition. The mast is too high and would unsightly and impact the public rights of way nearby. The size of the 25m by 10m compound seems excessive. The site is adjacent to an extremely popular lane used by walkers, runners, cyclists and horse-riders and it is the main link between the village and ancient Harrow Way just two fields away.

  • Obituary. T. D. Atkinson, F.R.I.B.A. Thomas Dinham
    PAPER'S AND PROCEEDINGS 173 OBITUARY. T. D. ATKINSON, F.R.I.B.A. HOMAS DINHAM. ATKINSON died on the 29th of December 1948, aged 84. Architect, antiquary and author, This greatness lay even more in the power of his personality than in the quiet competence of his work in many fields. Although widely learned in several departments of archaeology, he possessed true humility and a whimsical wit, often turned against his own foibles. His classical outlook belonged more to the 18th than the. 19th century, but he was inspired by deep feeling uncommon in the Age of Taste. Injustice moved him to fierce indignation and he could be stern with folly, but he met life with kindness, generosity and nobility of spirit. Aided by an exceptional memory, he methodically amassed architectural facts under subject headings during a period of well over' half-a-century ; these extensive- collections now belong to the Society of Antiquaries; Local Style in English Architecture, published' in the last year of his life, summarised part of this garnered treasure as an introduction to the more detailed treatment he had projected, and for which " The Sources of Hampshire Architecture in Past Times " {Proceedings, Hants Field Club, XV, pt. 2) and " Local Character in the Ancient Architecture' • of Cambridgeshire" {Proceedings, Cambridge Antiquarian Society, XL) were drafts. Among his many, other published works, the great Architectural History of the Benedictine Monastery, at Ely (1933) takes pride of place, but Hampshire should treasure his Survey of the Street Architecture of Winchester (1934), an outstanding record and work of catholic appreciation which ought perpetually to be had in remembrance—and in.print.

  • The Commons of Burghclere
    The Commons of Burghclere There are two areas of Common land in Burghclere. These are Burghclere Common and Earlstone Common. The former lies to the East of Well Street, immediately to the North of the Herbert Plantation Local Nature Reserve. Earlstone Common straddles the Aldern Bridge Road to the North of the Clere School. Northern Burghclere showing the location of the two Commons. The Recreation Ground in the middle of the village is also registered as a ‘Village Green’ under the 1965 Commons Act but is not included in this descriptive account. Burghclere Common is a roughly rectangular parcel, amounting to 5.34 hectares (13.2 acres), while Earlstone Common is a more irregular, almost spearhead, shape, of some 9.31 hectares (23 acres). Both sit on so-called ‘terrace gravels’ and are, in effect, an extension of the Greenham Common gravel plateau 2 miles to the north, in Berkshire. Together with Newtown Common, in the adjacent eponymously named parish, these Commons form a valuable heathland resource at the western end of the Thames Basin. Burghclere Common is registered in the ownership of Burghclere Parish Council as a ‘Village Green’ since there are no ‘Common Rights’ registered on it. However, being a Village Green, it has free rights of public access, although it isn’t registered as ‘Access Land’ under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. A single Public Footpath follows the southern boundary from opposite Yeoman’s Lane, before turning southwards into the Herbert Plantation. There are other paths on Burghclere Common, in particular a ‘circular route’ following the edge of the open, heathland area, but none of these are designated public rights of way.
