  • Appendix 3 REPRESENTATIONS from OTHER PERSONS David
    Appendix 3 REPRESENTATIONS FROM OTHER PERSONS David Templeman Turnpike Cottage, Hinton Ampner, SO24 0JT Received 12 June 2019 Subject: Re: Boomtown June Newsletter and 2020 Licence Application to increase numbers. Dear Briony Appletree, Many thanks for your reply and as advised my representation is as follows: 1. Public nuisance. The increased attendance sought will increase the number of vehicles arriving at and departing Matterley Estate. In particular on the Monday, when all members of the public depart, the traffic congestion will increase on local and strategic roads causing nuisance to local residents and other members of the public travelling through Winchester District on roads including the M3, A31, A272 and numerous B roads. 2. Public nuisance. The Revised Licensing Policy of Winchester City Council adopted in 2016 and carried forward to the 2019 version, requires stricter control of noise within the South Downs National Park (Section C, C2 (ii)). Therefore, the noise levels for amplified music should be reduced to pre- 2016 levels. 3. Public nuisance. Winchester City Council, being a public body, is required by statute (S62 of the Environment Act 1995) to have regard to the statutory purposes of the South Downs National Park. The application does not mention either this Act or the statutory purposes. Furthermore, temporary planning permission has been granted by the South Downs National Park Authority for 64,999 persons of whom no more than 48,400 may be ticket holders. 4. Public safety. The Cabinet of Winchester City Council declared during w/c 3 June 2019 a Climate Emergency for Winchester District. Therefore, it would not be in compliance with this declaration for even more vehicles to be allowed to drive into and around the District as would happen if the attendance level is increased from 64,999 to 75,999.

  • 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.

  • Kilmeston Or Kilmiston Kilmeston Or Kilmiston
    Kilmeston or Kilmiston Kilmeston or Kilmiston 1.0 PARISH Kilmiston, the alternative spelling, Kilmeston, applies to the settlement (Map 1) 2.0 HUNDRED Fawley 3.0 NGR 459110 126235 4.0 GEOLOGY Clay-with-Flints on Upper Chalk 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) Kilmiston is a sub-triangular parish with the settlement of Kilmeston (c. 100m AOD) close to its centre. Three north / south road routes converge upon Kilmeston, but one of these, the Wayfarers' Walk, is a leisure path rather than a road. An important feature of the parish is at its northern apex, near to Hinton Ampner, where a number of springs mark the source for the river Itchen. 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 3, 4 / 1, 4 / 2, 5 / 1 and 5 / 2) Church & manor house + common edge (hamlet) 6.1 Church & manor house Kilmeston has two distinct components. Th first of these is at the north end of the settlement where Kilmeston Manor (C16 / C17) and St Andrew's parish church are situated less than 50m apart but on opposite sides of an east / west lane. The Church of St Andrew contains some medieval fabric but it is difficult to date with precision; probably it is post-Conquest but on a pre-Conquest site (see paragraph 8.0). The central feature of the settlement is a four-way crossroads c. 100m north of which is a complex of buildings once known as College Farm (early C19, now known as Gastons). Approximately 150m south of the junction is the Manor Farm house (C16) that probably served as the home farm.
