Appendix 4 – Remaining Local Plan Policies ........... 7575 2 Proposed Submission East Hampshire District Local Plan: Housing and Employment Allocations 1. Introduction What is the Housing and Employment Allocations Plan? 1.1 The East Hampshire District Local Plan: Housing and Employment Allocations is the second part in a suite of development plan documents and follows on from the Joint Core Strategy. This is a consultation on the Proposed Submission version of the Local Plan: Housing and Employment Allocations for East Hampshire District (areas outside the South Downs National Park (SDNP)). 1.2 Its primary purpose is to identify specific sites to meet the individual housing and employment targets set out in policies CP3 and CP10 of the Joint Core Strategy (JCS), and to set out guidance for the development of these sites. 1.3 This Plan uses the same overall housing requirement, methodology (‘Liverpool’) and buffer (5%) as the JCS. These have been found sound both at the Examination of the JCS and at the Examination of the Housing and Employment Allocations Plan. 1.4 The East Hampshire District Local Plan: Housing and Employment Allocations only covers the area of East Hampshire outside the South Downs National Park (SDNP) as shown in Map 1. This is because the Park Authority is the Local Planning Authority for the SDNP and is producing a separate Local Plan for the whole of the SDNP. For all information about planning in the National Park please see the SDNP website http://www.southdowns.gov.uk/planning. 1.5 This means taking a disaggregated approach to the supply of new homes and employment in each Planning Authority Area, including the calculation of the 5 year housing land supply. 1.6 It should be noted that Whitehill & Bordon, and areas covered by emerging Neighbourhood Plans which allocate homes, do not form part of this Plan. Further information is set out in later sections. 1.7 For the remainder of this document the East Hampshire District Local Plan: Housing and Employment Allocations will be called the Site Allocations Plan. 1.8 The Site Allocations Plan forms part of the Development Plan, which will comprise the following: Saved Policies of the East Hampshire District Local Plan: Second Review (March 2006) East Hampshire District Local Plan: Joint Core Strategy (adopted by East Hampshire District Council (May 2014) and South Downs National Park Authority (June 2014)) East Hampshire District Local Plan: Housing and Employment Allocations 3 Proposed Submission East Hampshire District Local Plan: Housing and Employment Allocations Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan (October 2013) Adopted Neighbourhood Plans upon adoption it will form part of the Development Plan which will comprise the following: 1.9 Housing and employment site allocations are currently the main priority in the planning system and that is why this plan focuses on these issues. In the future another part of the Local Plan that updates the Saved Policies of the East Hampshire District Local Plan: Second Review will be created and form part of the Statutory Development Plan. This will consider further revisions to Settlement Policy Boundaries, Gaps between settlements, Special Character Areas and other Development Management Policies. 1.10 Whilst the National Park is a separate authority, East Hampshire District Council has regard to the statutory purposes of the National Park under Section 62 of the Environment Act 1995. 4 Proposed Submission East Hampshire District Local Plan: Housing and Employment Allocations 5 How is this linked to Neighbourhood Planning 1.11 Neighbourhood planning is a new element of the planning system introduced in 2012 through the Localism Act. A fundamental principle of neighbourhood planning is that it is community-led, with the community establishing local planning policies for development and use of land within its neighbourhood. Neighbourhood Plans enable local people to play a leading role in responding to the needs and priorities of the local community. 1.12 In East Hampshire District, the appropriate bodies for producing Neighbourhood Plans are the Town and Parish Councils. A Neighbourhood Plan must generally conform to the East Hampshire District Local Plan and can promote more but not less development than the Local Plan. Once a Neighbourhood Plan is adopted it will become

  • Ropley Parish Council
    ROPLEY PARISH COUNCIL Tuesday 7TH August 2018 at 7.30pm in Ropley Parish Hall MINUTES Those in attendance: Cllr G. Brown (GB) Chair, J Culverwell (JC), and J. Parsonson (JP), J. Nops (JN), District, G. Stogdon, D. Fielding, Cllr C. Louisson (CL) & Becky French (BF) Clerk to the Parish Council. 1 Apologies for absence Derrick Speed (DS) Vice Chair, S. Perkins (SP) & T. Day (TD) gave their apologies. 2 Declaration of Interest in respect of matters to be discussed. No interests declared. 3 Minutes of the Ordinary Parish Council meeting held on 3rd July 2018 - to approve the minutes as a true record. It was unanimously resolved that the Minutes of Ordinary meeting held on 3rd July 2018 be accepted as an accurate record and were duly signed by the Chairman. 4 Matters arising from the minutes - Meeting to review Standing Orders, Financial Regulations and Risk Assessment – update. See Item 6. - Missing stiles on footpaths – TD TD provided an update, read out by the Clerk. The footpath that runs parallel to the Petersfield Road and across to the Station is completely overgrown and is about 50 metres long. Clerk also received correspondence from resident concerning two blocked Rights of Way. I understand Ropley Parish Council is responsible for keeping local Right of Ways clear. If this is correct, would it be possible for urgent action to be taken regarding the two Right of Ways within Colebrook Field development? Both of these are currently impassable. One Right of Way runs from Colebrook Field down to the A31 and the second from Colebrook Field to Ropley Station.

  • Lasham Lasham
    Lasham Lasham 1.0 PARISH Lasham 2.0 HUNDRED Odiham 3.0 NGR 467600 142500 4.0 GEOLOGY Clay-with-Flints and loam overlying Chalk. 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) Lasham church (c. 170m AOD) is situated on the north side of a road that enters the settlement from a dry combe to the north-east. South-east of the church three other roads converge, two from the south, the other from the west. Immediately to the north of the settlement, the World War II Lasham Airfield occupies approximately 2km². 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 3, 4 & 5) Church & farm + agglomeration 6.1 Church & farm Lasham is a small settlement but it has been almost doubled in size by C20 housing development north-west and south-west of the parish church. The C19 church stands on the site of a Medieval predecessor and it is adjacent to Church Farm which is C17 or earlier. Two hundred metres north-west of Church Farm, Manor Farmhouse is also C17 whilst New Farm, with its 1926 outbuildings, seems to have developed around the C17 Badger’s Cottage. These three farms form a roughly 200m x 200m rectangle with Lasham pond, a feature set within a triangular green immediately south-west of the Church. The pond could have been a shared resource but two other C17 buildings are located at its margins (Malthouse Cottage and the Old Post Office). 6.1.1 The 1838 layout of buildings at New Farm / Badger’s Cottage argues that it was not functioning as a farm at this time but probably as a smallholding.

  • Re-Organisation Proposal for the Benefice of Bentworth, Lasham, Medstead and Shalden (BLMS)
    Re-organisation proposal for the Benefice of Bentworth, Lasham, Medstead and Shalden (BLMS) Due to financial difficulties in the Diocese of Winchester, plans are being considered at the moment for a re-organisation of the North Hampshire Parish Boundaries, of which the Benefice of Bentworth, Lasham, Medstead and Shalden, within the Deanery of Alton, is a part. If agreed upon, this would make the saving of one stipendiary post (vicar), as the individual BLMS parishes will be merged with already existing parishes. The proposal is that the parishes of Bentworth, Lasham and Shalden will merge with the Parish of the Resurrection in Alton and the parish of Medstead with the Parish of the Good Shepherd, Four Marks. This is part of the consultation process which will be ongoing in the next months. There is an information pack issued by the Diocese of Winchester which gives more information about the proposals for the Deanery of Alton. Please read those additional papers which should be on this web site. An important aspect of how churches are managed is called governance. The governance options for the present BLMS churches are that, when joining the parish in Alton or Four Marks respectively, they could: a) Remain as Parish Churches b) Become individual ‘Chapels of Ease’ c) Convert to ‘Festival Churches.’ In remaining a Parish Church, it retains its PCC; its burial, baptism and wedding rights and the obligation to pay its parish share (known here as the CMF). Description of ‘Chapel of Ease’ A chapel-of-ease can have any number of services (a minimum of 6 is recommended), but does not normally (traditionally) have burial, baptism or wedding rights, though the Bishop could licence it for such.
