Vincent Edberg report can be viewed on the SDNPA website - 2 - Winter 2013-14 Local planning explained … Do you find all the recent press coverage and information circulated about the housing issues in Petersfield rather confusing? This article tries to explain why development could be allowed now without the Petersfield Neighborhood Plan (PNP) being completed, and why it is important to keep pressure on the Government to allow “prematurity” to be considered as a reason for refusal. The South Downs National Park (SDNP) and East Hampshire District Council (EHDC) have been preparing a new Local Plan to replace the one which terminated in 2011. This is called the Joint Core Strategy (JCS). At the public examination in Autumn 2012, the Inspector reported that he had “serious concerns” with regard to the JCS’s soundness, that there was an absence of an up-to-date Strategic Housing Market Assessment, and that it would not provide sufficient housing to meet “objectively assessed need”. He indicated that, although the Plan sought to meet affordable housing needs by 2026, it would not address needs that exist now. He therefore requested that more work be undertaken on identifying additional provision for housing in the District. In Autumn 2013, the Authorities put forward new ideas for a range of housing in the Petersfield area: for 400-700 additional homes by 2028. Meanwhile, developers argued strongly for at least 1000 houses in Petersfield, but the SDNP, the CPRE and ourselves reiterated the landscape constraints. We also said that it was for the PNP to allocate sites (in line with the Government policy on localism). The Causeway In December 2013, the Inspector published his proposed modifications to the JCS. He proposes a target of “a minimum” of 700 houses for Petersfield, to retain the old “reserve” sites (rather than deleting them), and to accept the deletion proposed by EHDC, that new development should make the best use of previously developed land within the existing built-up area. These proposals are now subject to consultation. (cont. on p11.) Well designed housing - views of the acclaimed development at Privett Green - 3 - Winter 2013-14 The Plump Duck - February 2014 The addition of a fixed canopy wrapping two sides of the Plump Duck Cafe at the Heath is proving a great success for this thriving business since the new owner Ian Baker took over last year. Beverages and light meals can now be served under shelter all year round, attracting more visitors to this lake-side venue. The rustic character of the timber frame structure finished with a cedar shingle roof blends in very well with its surroundings. The design was by local architect Vincent Edberg and constructed by Mr Baker and his father as a self build project. The new fixed canopy in action Update on the raised path on the Heath When the Millennium Path was constructed round the western, northern and eastern perimeter of the lake it was hailed as a great achievement. However, there was a seventy yard gap at the southeastern corner between the edge of the wooded area and the car park on Sussex Road. This area was liable to flooding from spring water and rain draining off the road. In winter and wet weather the area became a quagmire and most unpleasant to negotiate. Readers will remember the tremendous amount of work that went into constructing a raised path last summer to solve these problems. (See the Autumn 2013 issue of this Newsletter). Churcher’s students, Friends of the Heath members, with assistance from the Petersfield Society, achieved completion in a very short time. The path has now been open for a little over six months. It has so far survived both drought and storms without showing any signs of deterioration. This winter, proving to be as wet as promised, has been an especially testing time for both its design and construction - both of which have passed with flying colours. Left: a reminder of the hard work put in by Churcher’s students Right: a reminder of the beautiful sunny day in July 2013 when the path was opened - 4 - Winter 2013-14 Chairman’s report - Spring 2014 As I noted in my last report in Autumn’s Newsletter, this is a time of great change in the planning system, locally and at government level.

    Directions to Susannah Lawson’s clinic, Walled Garden Cottage, Bordean Manor Estate, Nr Petersfield, GU32 1EP Please note: Sat Nav never gets it right, so you’ll need to refer to the last part of these directions. If you’re approaching via the M3 (from north or south) or from Winchester: • Get onto the A272 heading east towards Petersfield (there are various ways to do this – check your map or refer to the route planner at www.theaa.com for more detailed directions). • Cross over the junction with the A32 (there’s a petrol station on the right and a pub called Two for One straight ahead as you hit this junction). Walled Garden Cottage is about 3.3 miles from this junction. • Carry on the A272 past signs for Privett on your left and East Meon on your right. • Pass Bordean Farm on your left. Shortly after, after a bend, you’ll see the entrance to Bordean Manor Estate on your right. There are a couple of reflective bollards either side to mark the boundaries on either side of the driveway, and a 40mph sign just beyond. If you see signs for Froxfield and Highcross on your left – or start going down a windy hill – you’ve gone too far. • Turn into the driveway and follow it along. You’ll see the big manor house on your right. The drive then bends round and you’ll come to a junction (the main house will be right, the lodges left). If you pause and look straight ahead, you’ll see a wooden chalet behind some trees – that’s in the garden of Walled Garden Cottage.

  • Archaeology in Hampshire
    Archaeology in Hampshire Annual Report 2007 BASINGSTOKE AND DEANE Basingstoke Unlisted milestone on B3400 near King's Lodge (SU 59910 51716) (Site UID: 54326) Local listing A short, squat pillar of stone, squared and weathered: a milestone probably dating from the 18th century when this section of the road between Exeter and London was turnpiked (Andover and Basingstoke turnpike Act 1754). Only fragments survive of the cast iron distance plaques. This is one of several milestones surviving along this road. Weybrook Park Golf Course (SU 460786 154567) (Site UID: 58130) Excavation An excavation and a topsoil strip were conducted by Wessex Archaeology prior to the extension of the golf course. A single post-hole was noted but could not be dated or associated with any structure. No finds were identified, despite being within a landscape of great richness. Hannington Tidgrove Warren Farm (SU 52270 54218) (Site UID: 58168) Excavation Southampton University, with the Kingsclere Heritage Association, carried out fieldwork in the area around Tidgrove Warren Farm from 2005-07 in order to investigate the patterns of prehistoric/Roman/medieval settlement in an area of lowland close to the line of the Portway. This work focused on a medieval ditched enclosure and identified a number of multi-period features (Fig. 1). These comprised a small prehistoric enclosure, a larger medieval enclosure, the remains of a medieval cellared building and aisled hall along with a possible well or latrine. These features may be related/described by other sites in the area: see also Site Uids 36924, 36925, 36926, 56882, 56883 and 57174, in particular the medieval enclosure and cellar are likely to be evidence of the royal hunting lodge established by Henry II and known to be in this area (Monuid 21127).

  • A Place-Name Survey Introduction
    © Kelly Kilpatrick 2014. This research is made freely available and may be used without permission, provided that acknowledgement is made of the author, title and web-address. Saxons in the Meon Valley: A Place-Name Survey Dr Kelly A. Kilpatrick Institute for Name-Studies, University of Nottingham Introduction The Meon Valley in southern Hampshire is defined by the River Meon, a chalk river, which rises at the village of East Meon and flows to the Solent at Titchfield Haven. The Meon Valley area contains the parishes of East and West Meon, Warnford, Exton, Corhampton, Meonstoke, Droxford, Soberton, Wickham and Fareham (for Titchfield); also associated with this region are the parishes of Shedfield, Swanmore, Privett, Froxfield, Steep, Langrish and East and West Tisted. Place-names preserve information about topographic, linguistic and cultural conditions at the time of their formation, and therefore are a useful resource for investigating the past. The toponymic survey presented below is intended to compliment the ‘Story of the Saxons in the Meon Valley’ project, and to provide a general synopsis of the region’s Anglo-Saxon history through place- name evidence. This survey covers the geographical scope of the field-work carried out in the project. Firstly, an introduction to the Jutes of southern Hampshire is presented, followed by a discussion of the Meon River and the Meonware. The following toponymic survey adheres to the structure of the English Place-Name Society county survey volumes. The place-names are organised hierarchically by hundreds, then parishes. Major settlements are discussed first in each parish, followed by minor names of etymological interest arranged alphabetically.

Situated in a commanding position on a disused railway, Privett Station has been sympathetically converted into a unique, individual home, whilst completely retaining its character feel. Built in 1903, it is one of only three remaining stations on the former Meon Valley Railway, which ran for 22 miles between Alton and Fareham, part of The London and South Western Railway. Privett Station was at the summit of the line at 519 feet (158 metres) above sea level. Due to its remote location, the station was not much used and eventually closed at the same time as the railway itself in 1955. All the stations on the line were built to an extraordinary high standard and incorporated impressive passenger facilities, which included a large booking office with a vaulted timber framed roof, and separate 'gentlemen's' and 'ladies' waiting rooms. Designed in a 'Tudor Revival' style, the station is brick-built with attractive Portland stone mullioned windows and gables. The long platform remains, with its original lamp posts, adding greatly to the property's character. The large garden and grounds extend to about two acres, with a large lawn and beautiful views over the neighbouring fields.

  • The Clergy of Buriton
    The Clergy of Buriton The first written mention of a place of worship in the Petersfield area occurs with the completion of the Domesday Book. A commissioner recorded “Meadow 7 acres. Woodland 30 swine render. 3 mills, value 1.0. 1 church” within the Manor of Mapledurham. In 1991 Mary Ray, one of the founder members of the Petersfield Area Historical Society, placed the epicentre of Mapledurham to the north-west of modern day Buriton somewhere between the A3 and the railway line. These settlements like Mapledurham, at the foot of the South Downs on rich farmland, were wealthy in Saxon times. They could support a “Persona Ecclesiæ” or “Parson”, a curer of souls or ‘Curate’. He lived amongst his parishioners and was careful to juggle his loyalties between the bishop of the diocese and the lord of the manor. The Normans inherited this parochial system but added a new layer, what came to be called a “living”. Essentially, they had lots of men to reward, and very often that lead to the same person being the incumbent at many different parishes, often hundreds of miles apart. It was a system that was to endure in one form or another until 1850. As the Welsh historian Gwyn Thomas points out “Most incumbents recorded before the Reformation were really officials of the mediaeval ‘Civil Service’ or servings important dignitaries, and would rarely, if ever, have been in their benefice, let alone taking a service” Just such a man was Simon Passelewe the first name on the board at Buriton. He was appointed by Henry III in 1260.
