Henri Pittier National Park: The Road To Ocumare February’s Outdoor Meeting March’s Outdoor Meeting January’s Outdoor Meeting Local Wildlife News Quiz Page A million voices for nature Charity registered in England and Wales no. 207076 From The Group Leader Welcome to February. As the winter continues, the weather certainly having been wintry lately, some of you have raised, once again, the issue of birds being, or not being, about your gardens. What have you noticed happening over these last few months? Are ‘your’ birds still with you, have they all disappeared to pastures, or at least bird feeders, new and have any being acting in a manner that you wouldn’t expect? Several reports behavioural peculiarities have been received including birds harassing windows, as well as each other. Has your bossy Blackcap returned for a winter of defending the easy pickings you so readily provide, or have Mistle Thrush taken over the local Mountain Ash again? Birds with aberrant plumage have also been headlining recently, have you seen the BTO website relating to this? If not, it’s worth a look, if only to see just how many ‘dodgy’ birds there are out there! We can but hope that the wintry climate soon changes and that warmer winds from the south bring both pleasanter conditions and many migrants – by the time of the Indoor Meeting it will be but a fortnight, if that, before the first Wheatear and Sand Martin appear again on our shores; definitely something to look forward to! The Groups’ Outdoor Meeting at West Wittering / East Head towards the end of March should provide the first migrants for the Group, though I’m sure that many of you will have these on your ‘year list’ prior to this; please do let us know when you receive your first summer visitors, especially if they seem particularly early for you area.

  • Urban Character Study for Basingstoke
    Urban Character Study for Basingstoke Urban Character Study for Basingstoke September 2008 Introducing Characterisation Importance of Character Basingstoke has been subject to major developments in recent years, both in the town centre and in the residential suburb areas beyond, and it is likely that further redevelopment will occur in the future. Pressures for housing result in many of these areas become subject to infill development and intensification, which may result in a local area loosing its special character or distinctiveness. These features which contribute towards the local character of the area can include landscape, use, architecture and development patterns, all of which combine to make a place which is distinct from the surrounding areas. “The importance of understanding, and responding to, the context is a fundamental message of urban design guidance.” Places to Live, para 4.1 page 8 Both national and local planning policy has been designed to protect the character of local areas. PPS1 encourages any new development to respond to the local context, and to reinforce local distinctiveness. PPS3 supports this, and states that new development which is inappropriate to the surrounding area, and which fails to take advantage of the opportunities available for improving the character and quality of an area should not be approvedi. Local planning policy states that “all development proposals should… respond to the local context of the buildings in terms of design, siting, density and spacing, reinforce attractive qualities of local distinctiveness and enhance areas of poor design…”(Policy E1). Identifying what elements contribute towards the character is of a particular area is therefore of importance in analysing the appropriateness of a development proposal.

  • Social History
    SOCIAL HISTORY Dummer’s wealth and character was based on sheep farming which was dominant from the late Middle Ages. A nucleated settlement, apart from the outlying houses and farms of Dummer Grange and Dummer Down, lords of the manor(s) were resident until the break-up of the estate in the 1920s. The unusual level of religious nonconformity evident in the late 17th century remains unexplained in the light of the social structure of the parish. Enclosure of land in 1743 transformed community life, settled for generations. Relationship with nearby Basingstoke has been influential as have major transport routes traversing the parish. Significant change occurred in the 20th century from a farming-centred society, pre-1950s, to a prosperous commuter and retirement village. Dummer had a school from 1610 and a number of endowed charities. For a small parish it had a surprising number of famous visitors including John Wesley, Jane Austen, Joseph Arch and the future King George IV. Social links with Kempshott were close long before it was added to the civil parish in 1879. Social Character The Middle Ages Judging from Domesday Book, late 11th century Dummer was a typical agricultural community similar to neighbouring parishes situated on the chalk downlands, south of Basingstoke. East and West Dummer manors were of a similar size, each with land for five ploughs, although more land was held in demesne by the lord in East Dummer. The population of West Dummer was higher with eight villans, nine bordars and three slaves, indicating a population of 20 families; that of East Dummer consisted of two villans and three bordars.1 The grange of Dummer which had been granted to Waverley Abbey, a Cistercian House, in the 12th century was a third farming centre in the parish and worked as a separate manor, probably cultivated by lay brothers or local tied peasants, administered directly by the abbey.2 By the beginning of the 14th century Dummer was in the middle rank of parishes in the Bermondspit hundred when compared for wealth, with tax assessed in 1327 at 1 Domesday, 108,121.
