A resident of South Wonston – wanted to enquire about how the affordable housing need analysis was drawn up and whether it was in the presence of an independent verifier.

CoC County Councillor Jan Warwick (Winchester Downlands) Parish Council Report April 2019 Supporting Families More than 4500 families in Hampshire have been helped during the County’s Supporting Families programme.

Cllr. Horrill’s report The movement strategy has now been approved and is now with Hampshire County Council to be adopted. The Park and Ride plan P a g e | 2591 related to the site at Three Maids Hill is one of the priorities as there is a need to take cars out of the city. Two items have been withdrawn, the congestion charge and the Western bypass. Litter control is being focused on and the Winchester City Council (WCC) is fully supporting the spring clean program. Worst areas receiving attention are the A34 and Winnall roundabout. Friarsgate has been purchased by Winchester City Council and will be demolished to clear the way for the view of the river; the open ground will be used for various events. Harewood incinerator – this is a national program, local residents are concerned about pollution and the proximity of the installation. The Bar End development is now underway to build a new leisure facility by 2020. Cllr Selby commented that the movement strategy seems to be all about cars, he asked if the planning strategy had been taken into account when considering the new High Street hotel, i.e. more hotels would mean more cars? Cllr Horrill advised that the new strategy will feed into other policies like planning and city strategy. Cllr. Selby – referred to the picture of the bus station and its relocation he wanted to know if the new station would provide shelter. Cllr.Horrill advised that the bus station is on a temporary site. Currently WCC are looking at other bus station developments in various areas. Cllr. Neville asked if WCC and HCC employees currently bringing cars into the city would move out of the City. Cllr. Horrill advised that this is under review at the moment. Cllr. Godfrey’s report In the last five weeks 70 council houses have been opened and another 1000 are planned over the next 10 years. Harewood Incinerator – WCC does not favour building the new plant. Steve Brine MP will be debating this in Westminster on the 9th April. Pleased to see the West Dever News is going to continue and Cllr. Godfrey wished to thank all contributing to the production of the magazine. Affordable Housing – believed the verified housing figures would not support the need for a small scheme. Cllr. Porters County Report to Parishes April 2019 Firstly, and relevant to your Parish: County members have had a briefing, and asked their views on the three ongoing consultations on Municipal Waste Collection. All are on the gov.uk website Deadline 13th May 2019 These are:- Deposit Return scheme- (looking at money you get back?) Management and recycling of municipal waste (link below) P a g e | 2592 Extended Producer Responsibility- (simplifying the way we can recycle goods and placing responsibility back on producer) Many of you want to see more items recycled, less contamination and less items going to residual waste. These consultations are an ideal way to explain to the Government what you want to recycle and maybe, the challenge of recycling in rural areas. https://consult.defra.gov.uk/environmental-quality/consultation-on- consistency-in-household-and-busin/consultation/ The aims of this are: 1. Increase recycling 2. Reduce residual waste 3. Reduce residents’ confusion The result of this consultation should be confirmation of improved targets for the UK: 65% recycled by 2035, (currently 41% across Hants) and less than 10% of all municipal waste, including mattresses , shop waste etc to landfill. The Council’s response (Decision day: 23/04/19) will look at the implications for collection (done by WCC) and disposal (done by HCC); including the cost of new waste streams, holding even more in the UK etc. Deposit 496- removal of permissive rights across land in Micheldever I have taken this up with HCC officer, Harry Goodchild and the Agents for the land. Wheelabrator Site The County has responded with a detailed technical response, challenging among other issues, the environmental concerns, siting, and need for the site. I am aiming for a cross party view on this between the 4 county councillors whose divisions are affected. have asked for an information visit for relevant Parish Council Chairpersons to the HCC Chineham site, which although much smaller (about 110,000 tonnes p.a.) will inform you of the processes. A31 Brexit plans All works are now ready: we await a deal…or no deal- which will bring the road closures. I was informed of vehicles travelling the wrong way- and asked for more signage hopefully situation is now improved. Weeds or wildflowers? As the city and county reconsiders grass cutting contracts, and more local groups want to improve the floral diversity of our verges, I have asked the two authorities to agree a clear policy for planting of wildflowers. Because of purdah, this will not take place until early May now. Mental Health: HCC is the scrutiny body for Children’s Mental Health Services. Earlier this year, we had a depressing presentation; the annual story repeats the year before: too little money, spread too thinly across the county, so services are hard to get and overstretched, resulting in very poorly children needing higher level help because of the tardiness of response. £14.8million is spent annually on CAMHS (and an additional £1m for autism support to tackle the backlog in the EHCP process to get extra help in education and care). We challenged the NHS to do P a g e | 2593 better for our children in 2019. The NHS plans are to be submitted to NHS England this April. Autism UK: ‘We’ll keep going until everyone understands’ It is a sad fact that very few autistic adults are fully employed: you can become an Autism Ambassador to spread the word : that with appropriate adjustments, the workplace can support working adults with autism. Volunteers will be introduced to the role, receive training and pledge how they will make a difference where they can. Go to www.ascambassador.org.uk for more details of this scheme Go to www.shantsnas.org.uk for local help in south Hampshire, including local Parent Support Groups. Use of Parish CIL for Highways Projects in conjunction with HCC After having a very frustrating 2018 trying to get this sorted out. After a series of helpful meetings, I think I’ve finally got it sorted! If your Parish has something they’d like to do, then contact Nicola Waight, who is a Principal Transport planner and has been appointed to the role working with Parishes on commissioned projects. You will link to her for the work you want, then she will follow this through with you, linking your CIL (some may well be held at HCC) and Parish CIL money to achieve what you want. It may be worth an initial email or telephone conversation to start the ball rolling! You can contact Nicola at [email protected], on 01962 832122. I know this will be useful for Parishes who are acquiring CIL, but don’t know how to spend it. Nicola says you should expect a timeline of around twelve months from start to project completion if there is enough money in the system.

  • County Councillor Jan Warwick (Winchester Downlands)
    County Councillor Jan Warwick (Winchester Downlands) Parish Council Report January 2018. Hampshire Highways Highways teams worked hard through the night to manage the impact of Storm Eleanor on the roads. More than 50 trees were brought down following the high winds. Emergency crews and specialist tree crews remain on standby clearing fallen trees. Hampshire Highways are also working hard to keep the roads moving during icy weather. Follow the ‘gritter twitter’ @hantshighways to find out when and where the salting lorries are out. Anyone that experiences an issue on a Hampshire road can report it online at https://www.hants.gov.uk/transport Winchester Movement Strategy The recent public consultation closed on 8th December with over 1500 replies. The next stage will involve feedback on the consultation and workshops for stakeholders, Members and Parish Councillors. As well as inviting residents’ and stakeholders’ views, a range of traffic and travel data will be reviewed. This, alongside sophisticated computer modelling, will provide a robust understanding of how movement works in the City. Collectively, this will form the evidence base for the Movement Strategy and help to clarify travel and transport priorities. Potential options for delivering these priorities will then be developed. These will be tested and reviewed using national Government best practice guidance before the draft Movement Strategy is put to further public consultation in mid 2018 Hitting the Cold Spots Since the start of Hitting the Cold Spots, in 2010, 2,500 people have benefitted from the advice and information provided by the team. In this financial year, 170 Hampshire households have already received support.

  • Wonston Wonston with Sutton Scotney
    Wonston Wonston with Sutton Scotney 1.0 PARISH Wonston (now includes Hunton and Stoke Charity) 2.0 HUNDRED Buddlesgate 3.0 NGR 447700 139550 4.0 GEOLOGY Upper Chalk; Alluvium 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) Wonston CP now includes Hunton (formerly a tithing of Crawley) and Stoke Charity. On the other hand, a strip of land across the south of the parish has been hived-off as the new parish of South Wonston. For this reason the south boundary of Wonston parish has been partly determined by some relatively modern features such as post- medieval enclosure fences and a dismantled railway line. The old east boundaries of Stoke Charity and Hunton now perform the same function for Wonston. To the south- west, the Roman road to Salisbury forms part of the parish limit whilst the west and north boundaries seem to be based upon a combination of marker points including natural features, post-medieval fields and traditional land divisions. The river Dever, a tributary of the Test, cuts across the parish from east to west. This watercourse has attracted a number of settlements. On the north bank are the former manors of Norton and Cranbourne where there are watercress beds. Here too, is the Crawley tithing of Hunton. South of the river (west to east) are Sutton Scotney, Wonston and Stoke Charity. The settlement of Wonston is just above the flood plain of the Dever at c. 63m AOD. It is reached from the west via a minor road from Sutton Scotney. This road also passes through Stoke Charity (east) and on into the neighbouring parish of Micheldever.

  • Briefing Note for Ward Councillors and Chair of South Wonston Parish Council
    Briefing Note for Ward Councillors and Chair of South Wonston Parish Council Affordability Housing in South Wonston both to buy and privately rent is expensive when compared to average incomes. Average house prices in South Wonston are in the region of 12 times average incomes. (Source: ONS / WCC) Many people will be unable to ever buy a property, or rent without assistance. The insinuation that all should see eventually buying a home in the village as a possibility shows a mis-understanding of the scale of the affordability problem. Right Move on 23 October 2018 stated from Land Registry Sold Homes information that the average price to buy a home in South Wonston was in the region of £412,429 (ONS 2018 Average District price £365,000). Across Winchester District: o Individual Lower Quartile/Average incomes £26k/£36k (Source ONS 2018) o Lower Quartile Household £39k/ £46k (ONS/OECD Modelled for 2 adults/2 adults + child 2018) o With Lower Quartile prices across District @ £290k (ONS 2018) homes are unaffordable o In the last 10 years across the District house prices are up 40%; incomes 18%; affordability ratio worsened from over 9% to over 11% (England 7.25%). Improving Affordability City Council objective to see more affordable housing provided both in urban and rural areas. Embraced by many parishes. E.g. Scheme close to completion in Wonston. Completed scheme in Micheldever. Both are interested in additional provision 40 rural schemes in Winchester and 50 villages assisted across HARAH (2000 people housed) 99% of new homes go to local people Important to provide homes in rural areas – A rural exception site is very different from a site like Kings Barton, in Winchester.

  • 06 - WCC Report Nov 2020
    Report to Sparsholt Parish Council 19th November 2020 The Hampshire Hospitals NHS Trust have told us about their plans to use Government funding for a new general hospital. This will replace the Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital with a new facility near either the existing site or Junction 7 on the M3. The Government has earmarked funding for a brand new general hospital – to open before 2030 - that will enhance the available facilities in our area. The new hospital will work with the RHCH in Winchester. Which specialisms and services are moved to the new hospital is to be the subject of public consultation in January, so watch the website for details: www.hampshirehospitals.nhs.uk. We are expecting more details of the Council’s proposals for the revised Local Plan to be announced in December, with consultation on these initial approaches in January. Very little information has been disclosed so far, so any news and consultation documentation could be very important to how our area looks in the next 15 years. We await feedback from the Government re the housing numbers consultation and amendments to the planning system. We will be discussing issues such as the CPRE Green Belt request to 4 Districts in Hampshire. Also the redevelopment of the brownfield site at Sir John Moore Barracks will be discussed with local parish and District councillors over the coming months, with it potentially being included in the Local Plan. The planning proposal for a large array of solar panels next to the A34 near South Wonston has now been submitted and is open for comments on the City Council website.
