Address: Proposed Bullington Cross Wind Farm Site, Norton, Sutton Scotney, Hampshire Applicant : EDF Energy Renewables Page 1 of 161 RECENT REFERENCES: None EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: 1) This report deals with the major planning proposal for the erection of a 14 turbine wind farm at Upper Norton Farm, approximately 2km to the north east of Bullington Cross where the primary east west and north south arterial roads A303 and A34 intersect. The proposed development site at Upper Norton Farm falls at the point of intersection of the administrative boundaries of Winchester City Council, Test Valley Borough Council and Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council. Consequently the proposal comprises of three separate planning applications with the Winchester application being for 7 turbines in Wonston Parish, the Test Valley application for 3 turbines in Bullington parish and the Basingstoke application for 4 turbines in Whitchurch and Laverstoke parishes. 2) The 14 Turbines are sited on arable fields to the north of the main farm complex and mostly south west of Freefolk Wood. The combined site area of the three applications extends to 57.92 hectares within the total available farm area extending to approximately 442 hectares. 3) The proposed turbines have a height of 80 metres to hub and an overall maximum height of 126.5 metres to blade tips, with their ground level heights ranging from 90 to 120 metres above mean sea level. 4) In addition to the turbine structures, the development includes new and upgraded on site access tracks, crane pads and lay down areas of approximately 45m x 28m adjacent to each turbine plus an external transformer to serve each turbine. The proposal also includes a control and metering building of approximately 12m x 12m x 4.5m height to roof ridge, a 70m high lattice tower anemometer mast and a temporary construction compound measuring 50m x 50m. These additional constructions all lie within the Winchester application. 5) Details of the proposed development are set out in section 3 of this report and sections 4 and 5 deal respectively with public consultation representations that have been received and statutory/non-statutory consultation responses. Relevant national and local policy provisions against which the applications must be assessed are set out in section 6 of this report. Paragraphs 97 and 98 of the National Planning Policy Framework March 2012 are of particular relevance to the presumption in favour of sustainable renewable energy development, along with the relevant local plan policies of the 3 authorities that support the generation of renewable and decentralised energy in the Districts to help contribute to national, regional and sub-regional renewable energy targets and CO2 reductions. The wide ranging environmental safeguarding policies against which such objectives must be balanced are also set out within section 6. 6) Section 7 addresses the Planning Considerations of the proposals with the following sections 8-16 dealing with detailed topic assessments as follows:- Page 2 of 161 (section numbers are shown in brackets). Access, Highways and Public Rights of Way(8); Hydrology Hydrogeology, Geology and Flood Risk(9); Ecology and Ornithology(10); Landscape & Recreational Amenity(11); Heritage; Archaeology and Conservation(12); Aviation(13); Electromagnetic Interference(14); Impact on Residential Amenity(15); Economic considerations(16). Finally section 17 provides a concluding summary/planning balance with the recommendations of the three authorities provided at section 18 1, 18.2 and 18.3. 7) An Environmental Statement and technical appendices, together with drawings and landscape impact views, wirefame diagrams and photomontages support the application. It is a large and complex development that would have a significant impact over a wide area of the surrounding north Hampshire countryside. 8) The examination of the main areas of consideration, as outlined in paragraphs 5 & 6 above, highlights a number of matters on which the proposal overall exhibits significant shortcomings as judged against relevant policy criteria. This includes both technical and amenity concerns particularly as regards the likely detrimental visual impact upon the surrounding landscape. An area which contributes in no small way to the setting of nationally recognised areas of landscape importance and consequent designation, the South Downs National Park and North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. These matters of concern together combine to undermine confidence in the acceptability of the proposal in terms of its benefits outweighing its adverse impacts and demonstrate its failure to adequately meet all relevant policy requirements. Therefore each planning applications is recommended for Refusal RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. In the case of planning application. 13/00800/FUL Winchester City Council:- That planning permission be REFUSED for the reasons set out in section 18 of this report. 2. In the case of planning application. 13/00046/FUL Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council:- That planning permission be REFUSED for the reasons set out in section 18 of this report. 3. In the case of planning application. 13/00753/FULLN Test Valley Borough Council:- That planning permission be REFUSED for the reasons set out in section 18 of this report.

HE district round Basingstoke offers itself as the subject for a study of Romano-British . population development and. Tdistribution because Basingstoke Museum contains a singu­ larly complete collection of finds made in this area over a long period of years, and preserved by Mr. G. W. Willis. A number of the finds made are recorded by him and J. R. Ellaway in the Proceedings of the Hampshire Field Club (Vol. XV, 245 ff.). The known sites in the district were considerably multiplied by the field-work of S. E. Winbolt, who recorded them in the Proceedings of the same Society.1 I must express my indebtedness to Mr. G. W. Willis, F.S.A., Hon. Curator of Basingstoke Museum, for his courtesy and assist­ ance in affording access to the collection for the purposes of this study, which is part of a broader work on the Romano-British rural system.2 The area from which the bulk of the collection comes is limited on the north by the edge of the London Clay between Kingsclere and Odiham ; its east boundary is approximately that, of the east limit of the Eastern Hampshire High Chalk Region' southward to Alton. The south boundary crosses that region through Wilvelrod, Brown Candover and Micheldever, with outlying sites to the south at Micheldever Wood and Lanham Down (between Bighton and Wield). The western limit, equally arbitrary, falls along the line from Micheldever through Overton to Kingsclere.

  • Tenants, Tenures and Transfers: the Landholding Experience of Rural
    Tenants, Tenures and Transfers: the landholding experience of rural customary tenants in some Hampshire downland manors, 1645-1705 Submitted by Juliet Dorothy Gayton to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History In June 2013 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University Signature: ………………………………………………………….. i Abstract This thesis examines the impact of different customary manorial tenures on the land transfer activities of rural tenants between 1645 and 1705. The study of land transfer has formed part of the attempt by historians to establish how and why England developed from family-based subsistence farming into large-scale commercialised agriculture before many of its Continental neighbours. A key element in any study of land transfer is the property rights of those undertaking the transfers. England had a variety of customary tenures, and little research has focussed on how they operated and impacted on rural tenant transfer behaviour in the early modern period. This study uses evidence from eight manors in Hampshire with four different types of tenure to explore how they affected what land transfer options the tenants had, and how transfers were used to further family and economic objectives. The types of tenure were copyhold of inheritance; copyhold for three lives; copyhold for three lives where the first could act alone; and a form of customary freehold.
