Introduction What is this about? 1.1 This is a consultation on the ‘pre-submission’ draft version of the new Local Plan for Basingstoke and Deane borough. 1.2 ‘Pre-submission’ means that this is the version of the Local Plan that the Council would like to submit to the Secretary of State for examination. The purpose of the consultation is to obtain views on the ‘soundness’ of the plan. 1.3 Throughout the process of preparing the draft Local Plan, a significant level of public consultation has been undertaken. This includes seeking views on early policy documents, such as the Issues and Options and Key Themes documents, and also on specific pieces of evidence base including the council’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). This process has ensured that the community, partners and stakeholders have had the opportunity to influence key aspects of the draft Local Plan. This has been guided by the adopted Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) and a summary of the steps undertaken is in the Statement of Consultation which is published alongside the draft Local Plan. 1.4 The purpose of this stage of consultation is to provide an opportunity for you to comment on the matters that will be considered by an Inspector who conducts the examination, i.e. whether the plan: a) has been prepared in accordance with the duty to cooperate, legal and procedural requirements, and b) is ‘sound’. Soundness means: Positively prepared – the plan should be prepared based on a strategy which seeks to meet objectively assessed development and infrastructure requirements, including unmet requirements from neighbouring authorities where it is practical to do so consistently with the presumption in favour of sustainable development Justified – the plan should be the most appropriate strategy, when considered against the reasonable alternatives, based on proportionate evidence Effective – the plan should be deliverable over its period and based on effective joint working on cross-boundary strategic priorities; and Consistent with national policy – the plan should enable the delivery of sustainable development in accordance with the policies in the Framework. (Source: National Planning Policy Framework, DCLG 2012). 1.5 In preparing the Local Plan, the Council believes it has complied with all the necessary legal requirements. In terms of the duty to cooperate, the Council has worked with neighbouring authorities as necessary on detailed matters and has produced a statement of compliance. The statement provides evidence of how the Council has co-operated with neighbouring authorities and ‘bodies’ on The Local Plan should be read as a whole. Proposals will be judged against all relevant policies Page 6 of 117 Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan June 2013 Pre-Submission Draft Document potential cross-boundary issues.The Council also believes that the plan meets the tests of soundness set out in paragraph 1.4. 1.6 The Borough Council’s corporate priorities are of particular importance and provide a basis for the Local Plan. The eight Corporate Priorities are to:- Improve economic viability Increase skills and employment Get connected Plan policies that safeguard local distinctiveness Create neighbourhoods where people feel safe and want to live Protect our environment Maintain a reputation for quality arts and leisure Support active, healthy and involved communities (Source: Basingstoke and Deane Council Plan: 2013 to 2017). 1.7 These have been used as the basis for the vision, objectives and policies included in this Local Plan. 1.8 The Local Plan has also been prepared to sit within a framework of other local documents. This includes the Sustainable Community Strategy and the Economic Strategy, in addition to other strategies which cover specific issues such as the Local Transport Plan and River Basin Management Plans. This ensures that the draft Local Plan reflects and helps to deliver key priorities for the area. 1.9 When the new plan is adopted it will replace the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan (1996-2011). The new plan makes provision for future needs in the borough up to 2029. There will be additional documents to the Local Plan which together will form part of the development plan for Basingstoke and Deane. Planning decisions must be taken in accordance with the development plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. How is this linked to Neighbourhood Planning? 1.10 This Local Plan is being prepared to provide a strategic evidence base for Neighbourhood Development Plans and Neighbourhood Development Orders, including Community Right to Build Orders. All of the policies set out in the Local Plan are considered to be strategic in nature and therefore Neighbourhood Plans and Orders will need to conform with these policies unless there are specific local circumstances, accepted by the Local Planning Authority, which warrant a specific local approach to be taken. Neighbourhood Development Plans and Orders will have the opportunity to take forward some of the issues highlighted within the Local Plan in more detail. The Local Plan should be read as a whole. Proposals will be judged against all relevant policies Page 7 of 117 Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan June 2013 Pre-Submission Draft Document What should I look at? 1.11 This document includes: Information about the borough and the main issues this plan is to address A vision, objectives and an overall strategy for the borough. Detailed site allocations and policies to guide and manage development, deliver infrastructure and create sustainable communities. These also set out how the plan will be implemented and monitored. A proposals map which sets out the Council’s ideas for future development in the borough on an Ordnance Survey map base, so you can see exactly where development is proposed, and what areas are protected from development. 1.12 Alongside the local plan there is a Sustainability Appraisal Report which explains the alternatives that were considered for the strategy, sites and policies, and the reasons for the choices made. There is also a Habitats Regulations assessment, which looks at the impacts of the plan on sites of European nature conservation importance, and an Equalities Impact Assessment which considers whether there are any adverse impacts on any particular group of the population (including the protected characteristics groups). 1.13 The draft Local Plan also reflects the comprehensive evidence base which has been prepared to ensure that there is a detailed understanding of key issues affecting the borough.

But, as we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, we have a unique opportunity to build back a better railway for the future. Since March 2020, we have been supported by SWR, Network Rail and the Department for the Government to run a reduced service that has Transport are therefore undertaking a strategic kept key workers moving. This period has shown review of our timetable. We are proposing changes that our performance improves significantly when which, while resulting in a slight reduction in we are able to run fewer trains while still meeting frequencies, will still deliver capacity at 93% of customer demand for our services.

  • Basingstoke Economic History Bob Clark Railway Offcuts
    BASINGSTOKE RAILWAYS 1839 TO 2013 Introduction The construction of the railways and the town’s emergence between 1840 and 1854 as the junction for three routes transformed Basingstoke’s economy. While the railways devastated the road carrying trade, they also offered considerable advantages for the town. Raw materials could easily be transported, and manufactured goods were exported to other parts of the country. The second half of the 19th century was thus to see the development of large industrial units in the companies of Wallis and Steevens, an engineering firm, and of Burberry and a group of related companies who manufactured clothing. These were very different in scale from the workshops that had hitherto dominated manufacturing in the town and Basingstoke became an important manufacturing centre. This resulted in the town’s population growing significantly more rapidly than the national population. The coming of the railway Although the London Southampton railway could have followed the shorter route via Alton, the fact that it was routed via Basingstoke is shown in the original title, Southampton, London and Branch Railway, for Basingstoke was to be the place where a branch to Bath and Bristol was to diverge1to run via Newbury. However, this was not built as a House of Lords committee ruled in favour of a Broad Gauge route to Bristol via Reading. 1 C. F. Dendy Marshall, (revised R. W. Kidner, (1963) History of the Southern Railway, 53. An Act was passed in 1834 for making a railway from Nine Elms to Southampton,2 and construction work started in October of that year.
