  • Otterbourne Parish Plan
    1.0 Purpose of the Document The purpose of the document is to provide the Countryside Agency, Hampshire County Council and Winchester City Council with a perspective on how the residents of Otterbourne wish to see local issues that affect their quality of life managed over the period October 2004 to October 2009. It will give Otterbourne Parish Council, once they have formally adopted the Parish Plan, the consensus of the village and should give emphasis to the Parish Council's input to the wider future of the community. 2.0 Introduction The Government introduced a Rural White Paper - Our Countryside: the future - in November 2000 sponsored by the Countryside Agency, with the aim of encouraging local communities to take a more active role in deciding what is important to them and how each community sees itself developing over the following few years. The aim of a Parish Plan is to allow everyone in the Parish to have a chance to say what they think about the various social, economic and environmental issues affecting their community and how they would like to see it improved for the future. The proposal to prepare a Parish Plan was presented to the village at a meeting in July 2002, supported by the Countryside Agency and Winchester City Council. The meeting concluded with a request for volunteers to assist in the project. In September 2002, Otterbourne Parish Council notified the Countryside Agency of its intent to commence with the preparation of a Parish Plan. In March 2003 the inaugural meeting of the Otterbourne Parish Plan and Village Design Statement project team took place, by which time 40 volunteers had come forward to offer their assistance in a variety of roles from Project Leader to "Foot Soldiers" who were prepared to distribute letters and collect surveys.

  • OBPC Green Belt Submission
    Oliver’s Battery Parish Council WCC Local Plan Review August 2020 - A Green Belt for South Hampshire - submission to WCC Introduction Oliver’s Battery Parish Council (OBPC) supports the notion of a Green Belt for South Hampshire, including Oliver’s Battery and South Winchester Golf Club and land further south to the east of the A3090 (Romsey Road). The arguments presented by Hampshire CPRE in their document ‘Planning for a South Hampshire Green Belt’ (September 2019) and in the NEF Consulting Report ‘Introducing a South Hampshire Green Belt - Exploring the socioeconomic and environmental value’ (June 2020) provide a powerful case for greater protection of open green spaces. It is understood that City of Winchester Trust also support the idea of a ‘Green Belt’ around Winchester, with specific concerns mentioned about the SW quadrant. Current Local Plan polices are often not effective in protecting our countryside and green spaces. The up-coming Winchester City Council Local Plan Review affords a perfect opportunity to strategically protect the countryside. This paper concerns itself with the importance of a new green belt to the south west of Winchester in the development of the new Winchester District Local Plan. 1. Local Context - Oliver’s Battery 1.1 The civil parish of Oliver’s Battery is encircled to the east, south and west by open green spaces. The altitude of the settlement affords long distance, panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. The quality of the landscape surrounding Oliver’s Battery contributes overwhelmingly to the character and setting of the settlement itself. 1.2 The community in Oliver’s Battery places a high value on the setting of the settlement in relation to quality of life.

In Hamp- (Swift 1930, ix,126; Moorman 1945, 169; Titow 1972, shire the bishop held chases at Hambledon, 38). The abundant income from his possessions allowed the Bishop's Waltham, Highclere and Crondall bishop to live on an aristocratic scale, enjoying luxuries (Cantor 1982, 56; Shore 1908-11, 261-7; appropriate to the highest nobility. Notable among these Deedes 1924, 717; Thompson 1975, 26). He luxuries were the bishop's deer parks, providing venison for also enjoyed the right of free warren, which great episcopal feasts and sport for royal and noble huntsmen. usually entitled a lord or his servants to hunt More deer parks belonged to Winchester than to any other see in the country. Indeed, only the Duchy of Lancaster and the small game over an entire manor, but it is clear Crown held more (Cantor et al 1979, 78). that the bishop's men were accustomed to The development and management of these parks were hunt deer in his free warrens.

  • Boundaries for the Winchester and Test Valley Parliamentary Constituencies
    Hursley Parish Council C/O 31b Main Road Hursley Hampshire SO21 2JW Dear Sir/Madam, South East Region Initial Proposals: Boundaries for the Winchester and Test Valley Parliamentary Constituencies The South-East Region Initial Proposals for the Parliamentary Constituencies propose that the Parish of Hursley will no longer be located within the Parliamentary constituency of Winchester. At their meeting held on Monday 12th November 2016 the Parish Council agreed to object to the Boundary Commission proposal and request that the Parish of Hursley remains within the Winchester Constituency. The Parish of Hursley includes the hamlet of Pitt and both are geographically close to the City of Winchester and have long standing community ties with the City. Consequently, the Parish Council on behalf of the residents of Hursley would prefer to remain within the constituency of Winchester, ideally, together with our neighbouring parishes of Otterbourne, Compton and Shawford. We respectfully request that you reconsider this aspect of your proposals based on the evidence of the close community ties with our neighbouring parishes and with the Winchester City and wider District. We do not have similar close community links with Romsey and the Test Valley. Geography Our Parish borders the City of Winchester. Some of our residents, for example live on Sarum Road situated close to the heart of the city. With the proposed changes their next-door neighbours would be allocated to a Winchester City Ward and Winchester MP whilst they would be served by a Romsey MP based 17 miles away. We share many common issues with central Winchester being located on the main traffic route into Winchester via the A3090, local housing development, secondary schools, GP surgeries, the County Hospital, Winchester railway station and bus service.
