Introduction: This Design, Access, Energy & Environmental statement is in support of a planning application on behalf of Mr& Mrs M Smith, of Hedge Corner House, Petersfield Rd. Privett, Alton, Hampshire. GU34 3PP. The application seeks full planning permission to refurbish and extend the existing house to create a family home, in keeping with the rural character of the area and to meet todays’ needs and requirements. HEDGE CORNER HOUSE, PRIVETT: DESIGN STATEMENT 1 Fig. 1: Taken from EHDC Interactive Map. Position of Hedge Corner House sold to the client in 2020 by the farmer of Hedge Corner Farm adjacent. Boundary of property outlined. 2. Heritage and Location: Privett is a small village in The South Downs National Park in the East Hampshire district of Hampshire, England. It is 5 miles northwest of Petersfield, just off the A272 road. It is in the civil parish of Froxfield and Privett. The nearest mainline railway station is either at Petersfield or Alton. The South Downs National Park is England's newest national park. It was designated in 2010. The park covers an area of approximately 1,627 square kilometres in the south of England and stretches for 140 kilometres from Winchester in the west to Eastbourne in the east through the counties of Hampshire, West Sussex and East Sussex. Privett is a rural area located on raised ground and surrounded by farmland. The clusters of buildings are linked together by narrow single lanes bounded by high hedgerows and flint and brick walls. The village area of Privett was identified for consideration of designation as a Conservation Area in the Heritage Action Plan 1997- 2002 and following consultation the Privett Conservation Area was then designated on 9th November 2000. HEDGE CORNER HOUSE, PRIVETT: DESIGN STATEMENT 2 3. The Site and Existing Property: Hedge Corner House, being 3 miles outside the village, is not within the Conservation Area but is within the South Downs National Park. The property which lies just off the A32 at the junction with the Petersfield Road was built in the late 1940’s as a farm house for the adjacent farm and sits on a plot of approximately 0.25 acres with a long narrow front drive. It was built on Basing House land that was divided and sold to local farmers following the war. It is not a house designated as of local or historic importance or of a heritage asset and has no important features. Most recently it was home to the farmer’s parents. The property was then purchased in 2020 by Mr and Mrs Smith as a long-term family home for them and their 2 small children. It did have an agricultural tie but that has been officially removed. The property has not been properly maintained or improved since it was constructed and it still languishes in the 1950’s. The official Energy Efficiency Rating is extremely poor at “F” and the Environmental Impact (CO2) Rating is the worst it could possibly be at “G”. The property is obviously in need of a major refurbishment Fig.2: Position of Hedge Corner House just off A32 HEDGE CORNER HOUSE, PRIVETT: DESIGN STATEMENT 3 Fig.3: aerial view of Hedge Corner House showing long drive and outline of property boundary hedges Fig.4: View of Hedge Corner House from the Petersfield Road 4. Planning History: SDNP/18/05396/MPO: Deed of variation of a section 106 Agreement to remove the occupancy restrictions from the property at Hedge Corner Farm House, Petersfield Road, Hampshire GU34 3PP HEDGE CORNER HOUSE, PRIVETT: DESIGN STATEMENT 4 Fig.5: Viewing looking at front of house from north-east Fig.6: View of garage area to be replaced with 2 storey side extension HEDGE CORNER HOUSE, PRIVETT: DESIGN STATEMENT 5 Fig.7: View of side/rear of house looking from west Fig.8: View of external condition of existing roof HEDGE CORNER HOUSE, PRIVETT: DESIGN STATEMENT 6 Fig.9: View of side of existing garage to be replaced and boundary hedge to be upgraded 5. The Proposal and Design: The new extension to the dwelling has been carefully designed to fit into this rural setting and reflect some of the design features of the existing building while giving it a slightly more contemporary style. The scale, design and proportions are sympathetic to the characteristic form of the existing house. Moreover, the design of this proposal, combined with the selection of construction materials helps to harmonise with the existing and the agricultural area without harm to the character of the Conservation Area. The additions and alterations being made to a building also respect the overall design and proportion of the elevation and levels. The great sense of open space around the property have been retained. The important views within, into and out of the area of the property are conserved; the existing trees and other landscape features contributing to the character and appearance of the immediate area are retained. The existing boundary fences and hedge lines will also be retained and enhanced with new planting. With regard to SDNP Policy SD31, the proposed new floor area of the main house does not exceed the requirement of 30% (35% in certain cases) of the floor area of the original building. HEDGE CORNER HOUSE, PRIVETT: DESIGN STATEMENT 7 The restored, modernised and extended property will provide 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms at first floor with a kitchen/family room, 3 reception rooms, a WC, a utility and an attached single garage on the ground floor. The existing building will be fully renovated with new wiring, plumbing, heating system and insulation to meet the current Building Regulation criteria. The windows and doors will be replaced with energy efficient units. The leaking roof which is in a very poor state of repair will be replaced. It also has blown tiles and is heavily coated in moss, as evident from the attached photographs. The existing attached garage, WC and lobby/utility will be removed. This building is only single skin in construction, with no working damp proof membrane and no insulation to the walls, floor or roof. The roof to the garage, WC and corridor area is asbestos. This dangerous material will be removed by a specialist contractor. The proposal will provide decent habitable accommodation specifically for Mr and Mrs Smith and their very new family. The proposal optimises the integration of the modern new with the old, achieves functionality, energy efficiency, a low carbon footprint and will have minimal impact on the character of the area. 6. Environment: To the far corner of the rear garden and well away from the proposal, is a large oak tree. This tree will be subject to an Arboricultural Assessment Report by Dr Martin Dobson to detail how it will be protected during the construction period. An initial bat survey was carried out and evidence of bat occupation was found. A report by Plan Ecology Ltd. Is attached to this application. The very sparce and unkept hedging on the boundaries will be upgraded and replanted where necessary to improve the natural aspects of the garden. The garden will be sectioned into a vegetable area and borders with moisture retaining plants to help reduce rainwater run-off towards the house. A water harvesting system will be installed to collect water for watering the garden. Rainwater will go to proven soakaways within the garden and foul water will be to an existing septic tank which will be upgraded as necessary. A Bio-diversity Checklist is enclosed with this application along with an Ecosystems Services Statement Form in accordance with SDNP Policy (Core Policy SD2). HEDGE CORNER HOUSE, PRIVETT: DESIGN STATEMENT 8 7. Energy & Safety: The property has extremely poor energy and CO2 ratings. The insulation of the existing and new works will exceed that stipulated in the current Building Regulations. The proposal will vastly improve the energy rating of the property and significantly reduce its overall carbon footprint and energy waste. All the windows, doors and the lantern light will either be double or triple glazed with argon gas filled voids. The new cavity walls will be fully insulated, as will be the small flat roof area. Heating and hot water will be installed to meet the current requirement of the Building Regulations. Fire safety will be improved by the instillation of a dedicated alarm, smoke and heat detection system throughout the house. Carbon monoxide alarms will also be fitted where required. 8. Access: Access to the property is via an existing macadam drive off the Petersfield Road terminating in a car parking and turning area. Vehicles are able to enter and leave the property in a forward gear. There is adequate parking on site for in excess of 4 vehicles. There is no requirement to alter this arrangement. Internally the house will be at a singular level at ground floor, without steps or encumbrances to aid ambulant disabled use. Corridors and door openings will meet with current regulations with regard to width and space. 9.

We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Villages, woodland, pubs, commons, heath In Brief This walk is pure innocent pleasure, taking you through the commons and heathland around the West Sussex villages of Graffham and Selham. There are three good pubs along the route. (To enquire at the Three Moles , ring 01798-861303; for the White Horse , ring 01798-867331; for The Foresters , ring 01798-867386.)

  • Directions to Susannah Lawson's Clinic, Walled Garden Cottage, Bordean Manor Estate, Nr Petersfield, GU32
    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.

  • 8. Strategic Sites
    8. STRATEGIC SITES Introduction 8.1 This chapter sets out the policies for the strategic sites within the National Park. These sites represent one-off opportunities for developments of exceptional quality. They have the potential to make a substantial contribution towards sustainable growth and deliver multiple ecosystems services, which in turn promotes the National Park’s purposes and helps to achieve the vision set out in this Plan. The strategic sites are: Shoreham Cement Works, Upper Beading; and North Street Quarter and adjacent East gate area, Lewes. 8.2 Whilst the former ‘Syngenta’ site in Fernhurst is also a strategic site, it has already been allocated for a sustainable mixed-use development incorporating residential (approximately 200 homes), commercial development and other suitable uses in the Fernhurst Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP), which was made in 2016. 8.3 This chapter identifies how the strategic sites can collectively and individually contribute to meeting the National Park’s purposes, and how their development could be justified by exceptional circumstances and be in the public interest, in accordance with Policy SD3: Major Development in the South Downs National Park. 8.4 There are also three strategic housing allocations, these are set out with all the other allocations in Chapter 10. Land at Old Malling Farm in Lewes (Allocation Policy SD77) is a greenfield site that will make a significant contribution to meeting the unmet housing need of Lewes and was originally allocated in the Lewes Joint Core Strategy. The Depot / Brickworks site and former Holmbush Caravan Park, both located in Midhurst and both brownfield sites, will contribute significantly to the unmet housing need of Midhurst.

  • 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.
