In light of the complete phasing out of Government support grant, this increase is necessary if we are to protect the services that are important to our residents. Although the Council collects all of the council tax, it actually retains as little as 10%, with some going to the local parish councils but the greatest share going to Hampshire County Council, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire, and Hampshire Fire and Rescue. Fleet Pond at sunrise From April 2018 a householder with an average band D property is likely to see the Hart District Council element of their annual bill increase by just over 9 pence a week. The Government is currently proposing a negative grant in 2019/20. This would further reduce our funding by over £500,000. We have made a number of efficiency savings through renegotiating existing contracts, but over the next few years we will look for more opportunities to make savings and efficiencies while working hard to deliver better services at a lower cost.

    Biodiversity Action Plan for Hart 2018 – 2023 Contents Introduction………………………………………,,,,,,………………… 3 Purpose of this Action plan………………………………..…………… 4 Biodiversity Achievements 2012-17……………………….….…...…… 5 What is biodiversity and why is it important? …………..…………….. 7 Overview of the biodiversity resource in Hart …………..…...………. 9 Designated sites in Hart…………………………...……..…………… 11 Nature conservation sites managed by HDC………….………..….… 17 Action Plan 2018-23………………………………….…………….…. 19 2 1. Introduction 1.1 The natural environment in Hart has experienced large changes over the past century, in common with most of south eastern England. However, there remains an extremely diverse natural environment in the district, rich in different habitats and species. Hart is characterised by a mosaic of farmland, ancient woodlands, lowland heathlands and water courses. There is also a varied built environment from newer towns such as Fleet and Yateley to rural towns and villages such as Odiham and Hartley Wintney which all contain features which contribute to overall biodiversity resource. 1.2 The publication of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act in 2006 makes biodiversity an important consideration for all local authorities. Section 40 of this act sets out the duty to conserve biodiversity: “Every public authority must, in exercising its functions, have regard, so far as is consistent with the proper exercise of those functions, to the purpose of conserving biodiversity”. 1.3 The adoption of the first Hart Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) in 2012 helped translate national and regional targets into local action, whilst also highlighting species and areas of local importance. The first Hart BAP was implemented by the Council’s Biodiversity Officer in partnership with other groups such as the Hampshire Biodiversity Information Centre (HBIC), Hart Countryside Services, Parish Councils, friends of groups and other council departments.

  • Odiham and North Warnborough Neighbourhood Plan 2014 - 2032
    Odiham and North Warnborough Neighbourhood Plan 2014 - 2032 Final Strategic Environmental Assessment Report Published by Odiham Parish Council for consultation in accordance with EU Directive 2001/42 July 2016 Non Technical Summary 1. The purpose of this report is to provide an assessment of any significant environmental effects of the policies and proposals of the Submission version of the Odiham & North Warnborough Neighbourhood Plan in accordance with EU Directive 2001/42 on strategic environmental assessment (SEA). The Neighbourhood Plan has been submitted by Odiham Parish Council to Hart District Council for its independent examination. The District Council has issued a screening opinion requiring an SEA of the Neighbourhood Plan under the Environmental Assessment of Plans & Programmes Regulations 2004. 2. The Final SEA report therefore provides an assessment of the Neighbourhood Plan in a way that is proportionate to this task and that recognises the limitations of the available data and means of measuring direct impacts. 3. The Neighbourhood Plan contains a number of policies for the use and development of land in the Parish in the plan period up to 2032. These policies, together with the policies of the development plan - that is the Hart District Local Plan(Replacement) 1996- 2006 and First Alterations -Saved Policies will be used by the District Council to help determine planning applications once the Neighbourhood Plan is made. The District Council is preparing a new Local Plan but the Neighbourhood Plan will be examined before the adoption of that Plan. In which case, the Neighbourhood Plan is being prepared to be in general conformity with the strategic policies of the adopted Local Plan but is being informed by the reasoning and evidence base of the emerging Local Plan.

  • Hook to Winchfield Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Hook to Winchfield walk The River Whitewater and some rural stretches of the Basingstoke Canal, passing the ruins of a medieval castle and visiting an attractive Hampshire town. Length Main Walk: 20 km (12.4 miles). Four hours 30 minutes walking time. For the whole excursion including trains, sights and meals, allow at least 9½ hours. Short Walk, omitting Dogmersfield Park: 16¼ km (10.1 miles). Three hours 35 minutes walking time. Long Walk, extended via Dogmersfield: 24¼ km (15.1 miles). Five hours 30 minutes walking time. Circular Walk, starting from Winchfield: 13¾ km (8.5 miles). Three hours walking time. OS Map Explorer 144. Hook, map reference SU725540, is in Hampshire, 9 km E of Basingstoke. Toughness 3 out of 10 (4 for the Long Walk, 2 for the shorter walks). Features The start of this walk is affected by Hook's proximity to the noisy M3, but after crossing it on the edge of Bartley Heath nature reserve the motorway is soon out of earshot. The walk then alternates between stretches alongside the River Whitewater and the Basingstoke Canal, with the weatherbeaten ruins of Odiham Castle at their intersection. After passing through the attractive village of Greywell with its ancient church and mill the route doubles back to a lunchtime stop in the elegant town of Odiham, with its wide Georgian-fronted High Street. https://www.walkingclub.org.uk/walk/hook-to-winchfield/ 1/12 In the afternoon the walk rejoins the canal at Odiham Wharf and continues along the towpath to Broad Oak Bridge, where there is a choice of routes (see Walk Options below).
