The land, which is in the single ownership of Winchester College, is an extensive tract contiguous with the built up area and adjoining the A31. It readily has the capacity to provide between 600 and 700 new homes, an area of employment fronting and accessible from the A31, community infrastructure include a new primary school and local centre, and Gypsy and Traveller pitches Travelling Show People plots for which there is an identified need. New and enhanced Green Infrastructure will provide a landscape framework that allows development to be integrated into this edge of settlement location whilst providing recreational opportunities for the whole community. This will act to rebalance facilities accross Four Marks from their current focus towards the east. Significantly, the A31 is a strategic corridor in the north of the District; increasing the scale of development directed to this strategic corridor would take advantage of existing and potential improvements in connectivity and sustainable travel between these settlements whist strengthening their functional linkages. Hallam are assisted in this promotion by a team of experienced and specialist land development professionals; including Urban Wilderness as masterplanners and landscape architects, FPCR as ecologists, Brookbanks as engineers and LRM as town planners. Together, these consultancies have an enviable track record in the promotion of new communities through the planning process from inception to delivery and each is committed to creating places people are proud of.

  • Appendix 3 REPRESENTATIONS from OTHER PERSONS David
    Appendix 3 REPRESENTATIONS FROM OTHER PERSONS David Templeman Turnpike Cottage, Hinton Ampner, SO24 0JT Received 12 June 2019 Subject: Re: Boomtown June Newsletter and 2020 Licence Application to increase numbers. Dear Briony Appletree, Many thanks for your reply and as advised my representation is as follows: 1. Public nuisance. The increased attendance sought will increase the number of vehicles arriving at and departing Matterley Estate. In particular on the Monday, when all members of the public depart, the traffic congestion will increase on local and strategic roads causing nuisance to local residents and other members of the public travelling through Winchester District on roads including the M3, A31, A272 and numerous B roads. 2. Public nuisance. The Revised Licensing Policy of Winchester City Council adopted in 2016 and carried forward to the 2019 version, requires stricter control of noise within the South Downs National Park (Section C, C2 (ii)). Therefore, the noise levels for amplified music should be reduced to pre- 2016 levels. 3. Public nuisance. Winchester City Council, being a public body, is required by statute (S62 of the Environment Act 1995) to have regard to the statutory purposes of the South Downs National Park. The application does not mention either this Act or the statutory purposes. Furthermore, temporary planning permission has been granted by the South Downs National Park Authority for 64,999 persons of whom no more than 48,400 may be ticket holders. 4. Public safety. The Cabinet of Winchester City Council declared during w/c 3 June 2019 a Climate Emergency for Winchester District. Therefore, it would not be in compliance with this declaration for even more vehicles to be allowed to drive into and around the District as would happen if the attendance level is increased from 64,999 to 75,999.

  • A Services Operations Performance Measurement Framework for Multimodal Logistics Gateways in Emerging Megaregions
    A services operations performance measurement framework for multimodal logistics gateways in emerging megaregions Dimitrios Paraskevadakis A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Liverpool John Moores University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. July 2015 Abstract Gateways in emerging megaregions have the available transport infrastructure that could support modal shift and sustainable development and more could be made of them. A gateway is not a defined administration area but rather a functional economic area. Typically it has some port, airport, rail hub and logistics clusters and is key to the regional economy. Existing policies try to achieve an optimisation of the performance of multimodal logistic chains and transport infrastructure, including making greater use of inherently more resource efficient modes, where other technological innovations may be insufficient (e.g. long-distance freight). Emerging megaregions rely heavily on global logistics operations to supply their population, the majority of which is living in metropolitan areas with a higher concentration of greenhouse gases and a heavy concentration of multiple-layer logistics and transport operations, and other urban functions. To address these issues, there is a need for more efficient traffic management solutions, a stronger shift away from road transportation towards more environmentally friendly modes both for freight and for passengers but most importantly the adoption of an integrated methodological approach when assessing existing and planned transport infrastructure by the decision makers with respect to sustainable development. This research provides a novel approach to the literature of performance evaluation of modal shift and transport infrastructure service quality by capturing the involved stakeholders’ perceptions and expectations.
