  • Barton Stacey Conservation Area Character Appraisal 1 Introduction
    Barton Stacey Conservation Area Character Appraisal 1 Introduction Conservation Areas A conservation area is an area designated by the local planning authority as one of special architectural or historic interest. Once designated, the local authority has a duty1 to ensure that the character of a conservation area is preserved or enhanced, particularly when considering applications for development. Purpose of Character Appraisals Local authorities are encouraged to prepare Character Appraisals, providing detailed assessments of their conservation areas. Appraisals enable the local authority to understand the elements that give each area its distinct and unique character, identifying special qualities and highlighting features of particular signifi cance. Those elements include: historic development; landscape and topography; style, type and form of the buildings, and the spaces between buildings; materials, textures, colours and detailing; and less tangible aspects, such as sounds and smells, which can contribute to the special character of the area. A Character Appraisal is intended as an overview, providing a framework within which individual planning applications can be assessed. It includes text, an appraisal plan and photographs. It is not realistic to refer to every building or feature within a conservation area – but the omission of any part does not mean that it is without signifi cance. 1 Under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. 2 2 The Barton Stacey Conservation Area Context Barton Stacey Conservation Area was originally designated on 25th April 1984 in recognition of its special architectural and historic interest. Local authorities have a duty to periodically review their conservation areas to ensure that they are still relevant and that boundaries are logical and could be defended if a planning appeal were made.

NEXT STEPS • Recommendations for Future Management • Opportunities for Enhancement • Public Consultation • Management Plan and Monitoring SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: - DEFINITION OF SPECIAL INTEREST OF THE BROCKHAMPTON CONSERVATION AREA 1. This is an Executive Summary of the key elements (of significance) that define the essential character and qualities of the Brockhamton Conservation Area, which was designated on 13 April 2005 – “the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance”. It aims to provide a succinct picture of the conservation area as it is today - defining its special qualities and heritage assets particularly in terms of the area’s local distinctiveness and special interest. These qualities should be safeguarded and where possible, enhanced. 2. Brockhampton Conservation Area is located just to the west of Havant town centre and primarily within the area defined by West Street in the north, Brockhampton Road to the west and Brockhampton Lane in the east. West Street is known to mark the historic Roman route from Chichester to Wickham and the earliest remaining buildings along this road are statutorily listed. 3. To the south of West Street, the natural springs, streams, collecting basins, lakes and surrounding land lie at the heart of the area and are one of the reasons for the presence of the Portsmouth Water Company.

  • Streams, Ditches and Wetlands in the Chichester District. by Dr
    Streams, Ditches and Wetlands in the Chichester District. By Dr. Carolyn Cobbold, BSc Mech Eng., FRSA Richard C J Pratt, BA(Hons), PGCE, MSc (Arch), FRGS Despite the ‘duty of cooperation’ set out in the National Planning Policy Framework1, there is mounting evidence that aspects of the failure to deliver actual cooperation have been overlooked in the recent White Paper2. Within the subregion surrounding the Solent, it is increasingly apparent that the development pressures are such that we risk losing sight of the natural features that underscore not only the attractiveness of the area but also the area’s natural health itself. This paper seeks to focus on the aquatic connections which maintain the sub-region’s biological health, connections which are currently threatened by overdevelopment. The waters of this sub-region sustain not only the viability of natural habitat but also the human economy of employment, tourism, recreation, leisure, and livelihoods. All are at risk. The paper is a plea for greater cooperation across the administrative boundaries of specifically the eastern Solent area. The paper is divided in the following way. 1. Highlands and Lowlands in our estimation of worth 2. The Flow of Water from Downs to Sea 3. Wetlands and Their Global Significance 4. Farmland and Fishing 5. 2011-2013: Medmerry Realignment Scheme 6. The Protection and Enhancement of Natural Capital in The Land ‘In Between’ 7. The Challenge to Species in The District’s Wildlife Corridors 8. Water Quality 9. Habitat Protection and Enhancement at the Sub-Regional Level 10. The policy restraints on the destruction of natural capital 11.
