  • 59 EDITORIAL. VOL. XVIII, Pt. 2, of the Proceedings Will Be Published In
    PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS " 59 EDITORIAL. OL. XVIII, Pt. 2, of the Proceedings will be published in July, 1953. It is hoped that this volume, which will include Vreviews of books received since 1950, notes of Field Meetings, and a list of those periodicals on the H.F.C. exchange list, will bring the Proceedings up to date, e.g., up to the end of 1952. Material intended for publication should be sent to the Hon. Editor, 10 The Close, Winchester. CORRESPONDENCE. THE STEAM PLOUGH IN HAMPSHIRE. Mr. Frank Warren writes concerning Mr. FusselFs article (Vol. XVII, p. 286) : " Richard Stratton of Broad Hinton, and Salthrop, Wiltshire (who lies buried in Winchester Cemetery), bought in 1859 the first Fowler steam plough for use on his farms. His son, James Stratton, came to farm Chilcombe, Winchester, in 1866 and introduced steam ploughing to Hampshire." CORRECTION. In the article on Hampshire Drawings in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, published in the Hampshire' Field Club Proceedings, Vol. XVII, page 139, the reference to the manuscript album should be " Western MSS. 17,507." PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS 71 SUBJECT SECRETARIES' REPORTS. BIOLOGICAL SECTION. Weather 1951. " Deplorable" seems to be the only suitable adjective to describe the meteorological setting of the year 1951. Only once in the whole year, on July 2nd, did the temperature reach 80°, and on 18th, 20th and 28th of that month 79°. The highest shade temperatures in any other months were 75'5° on April 25th, 75° on September 6th, 74° on two days in June, the 5th and 21st, and on August 1st.

  • North Solent Shoreline Management Plan
    North Solent Shoreline Management Plan 4 THE PROPOSED PLAN 4.1 Plan for Balanced Sustainability The SMP is built upon seeking to achieve balanced sustainability, i.e. it considers people, nature, historic and economic realities. The preferred policies proposed for the present-day provide a high degree of compliance with objectives to protect existing communities against flooding and erosion. The proposed long-term policies promote greater sustainability for parts of the shoreline where natural process and evolution provide a practical means of managing the shoreline. However, the protection of the significant assets present along sections of the shoreline remains a strong focus for the long- term sustainability of the economy and communities of this area. The rationale behind the preferred plan is explained in the following sections of text, which consider the SMP area as a whole. Details of the preferred policies for individual locations to achieve this Plan are provided by the individual Policy Unit statements in Chapter 5. 4.2 Predicted Implications of the Preferred Plan Direct comparison is made below between the preferred plan/policies and a scenario of No Active Intervention. This scenario considers that there is no expenditure on maintaining or improving defences and that defences will therefore fail at a time dependent upon their engineering design or residual life. This approach defines the benefits of implementing the proposed plan, as it highlights what would be lost under No Active Intervention against what would be gained if the preferred policy was implemented. Where No Active Intervention is the preferred policy then obviously this methodology is not required.
