    New Forest National Park Local Plan 2016 – 2036 Examination Statement – New Forest National Park Authority Matter 2 – Duty to Co-operate Issue – Whether the Authority has complied with the duty to co-operate in the preparation of the Local Plan? General 2.1 What strategic, cross-border matters have arisen through the preparation of the Local Plan? 1. In response to the Localism Act 2011 (CD34) and the requirement for planning authorities to engage constructively and on an on-going basis on strategic matters, the Authority has prepared a Duty to Co-operate Statement (CD19). This sets out the work done in response to the requirements of the duty. 2. Section 5 of CD19 summarises the co-operation on cross-boundary matters that has gone into the preparation of the Submission draft Local Plan since the review commenced in 2015. As well as the four stages of formal consultation, liaison has taken place through the Authority’s Local Plan Working Groups in 2016; regular officer and member liaison meetings; and the duty to co-operate discussions initiated with neighbouring authorities in the three Housing Market Areas of Southampton, Bournemouth / Poole and Salisbury by the National Park Authority and New Forest District Council in summer 2017. 3. From the liaison that has taken place since the Local Plan review commenced in summer 2015, three main strategic issues that require cross-boundary co- operation have been identified. These relate to: (i) the provision of housing to meet identified needs; (ii) habitat mitigation measures to ensure that the planned level of development in the area does not affect the integrity of the protected habitats of the New Forest (including the coastline); and (iii) the former Fawley Power Station site, which is a strategically important development site requiring cross boundary working and co-operation between the National Park Authority and New Forest District Council.

The report summarises the main issues that have been raised recently by Natural England with local planning authorities across the Solent coast; before setting out details of the package of measures which will form the basis for mitigation. The report also recommends that the Authority works with the Partnership for South Hampshire and other partners to development a comprehensive, long-term mitigation strategy for the Solent. Recommendation: Members approve the overall approach to identifying mitigation measures as set out in this report; and endorse the principle of working with the Partnership for South Hampshire to develop a comprehensive, long-term mitigation strategy for the Solent. 1. Introduction 1.1 This report outlines the main issues surrounding nitrates in the protected Solent habitats; the recent advice from Natural England on the matter; and the range of potential measures available to form an interim mitigation solution. 1.2 Under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations (2017, as amended), the Authority is a ‘competent authority’ and must therefore undertake an ‘appropriate assessment’ of any planning decisions that are likely to have a significant effect on a European site. In the context of the Solent this includes the Solent & Southampton Water Special Protection Area and the Solent Maritime Special Area of Conservation.

  • Hythe and Dibden Neighbourh
    1 December 2015 Designating the Hythe & Dibden Neighbourhood Area NEW FOREST NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY REPORT TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR STRATEGY & PLANNING AND CHAIR OF PLANNING DEVELOPMENT CONTROL COMMITTEE (PDCC) DESIGNATING THE HYTHE & DIBDEN NEIGHBOURHOOD AREA AS IT RELATES TO THE AREA WITHIN THE NEW FOREST NATIONAL PARK Report by: David lllsley, Policy Manager 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Neighbourhood Plans were introduced by the Localism Act 2011 to give communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development of their local area. Neighbourhood Plans are statutory documents that, once adopted, form part of the 'development plan' for the area. As the New Forest is a parished area, Neighbourhood Plans can be undertaken by parish or town councils if they chose to prepare one. The National Park Authority has a role in supporting communities in preparing a Neighbourhood Plan by giving advice and assistance to the town/parish council. 1.2 Neighbourhood planning is not a legal requirement, but a right which communities in England can chose to use. Under the relevant Neighbourhood Planning Regulations, in order to start the formal process of preparing a Neighbourhood Plan a town/parish council first makes an application to the local planning authority for the designation of the area that their Neighbourhood Plan will cover (Regulation 6). 2. AREA APPLICATION BY HYTHE & DIBDEN PARISH COUNCIL 2.1 In a letter dated 15 July 2015 (Appendix B), Hythe & Dibden Parish Council applied to New Forest District Council and the New Forest National Park Authority - as the Parish includes land within both the boundary of the District (circa 75% of the land area of the parish) and the National Park (25% of the land area of the parish) - for the area of their proposed Neighbourhood Plan to cover the whole of the parish.

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.

  • Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System
    Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process This document has been issued by the Department of Energy and Climate Change, together with the Devolved Administrations for Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. April 2012 UK’s National Implementation Measures submission – April 2012 Modified UK National Implementation Measures for Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System As submitted to the European Commission in April 2012 following the first stage of their scrutiny process On 12 December 2011, the UK submitted to the European Commission the UK’s National Implementation Measures (NIMs), containing the preliminary levels of free allocation of allowances to installations under Phase III of the EU Emissions Trading System (2013-2020), in accordance with Article 11 of the revised ETS Directive (2009/29/EC). In response to queries raised by the European Commission during the first stage of their assessment of the UK’s NIMs, the UK has made a small number of modifications to its NIMs. This includes the introduction of preliminary levels of free allocation for four additional installations and amendments to the preliminary free allocation levels of seven installations that were included in the original NIMs submission. The operators of the installations affected have been informed directly of these changes. The allocations are not final at this stage as the Commission’s NIMs scrutiny process is ongoing. Only when all installation-level allocations for an EU Member State have been approved will that Member State’s NIMs and the preliminary levels of allocation be accepted.
