The nature of the development proposal is likely to involve only slight disturbance to the relevant horizons and a watching brief should provide adequate mitigation of any adverse impact. If this is required, this could be secured by an appropriately worded condition attached to any planning consent granted.

The project was commissioned by Mr Jeremy Hinton of New Forest Energy Ltd, Meyrick Estate Office, Hinton Admiral, Christchurch, Dorset, BH23 7DU, and comprises the first stage of a process to determine the presence/absence, extent, character, quality and date of any archaeological remains which may be affected by redevelopment of the area. Planning permission is to be sought from Christchurch Borough Council to develop the site as a Solar Farm. Site description, location and geology Waterditch Farm is on the coastal plain between Christchurch and Bransgore, south-west of the New Forest. The proposal site is 800m west of the village of Burton and 1km north of the A35 ring-road around the north of Christchurch, east Dorset. It comprises an area of c. 45ha divided into seven fields, bounded by Hill Lane bridle way (Pl. 1) to the south, Hawthorne Road to the west and extant field boundaries to the north and east (Fig. 1). Trees conceal a broad ditch (Pl. 2) along the north side of Waterditch Lane which divides the two northern fields from those to the south. Waterditch Farm itself is set on a low rise at slightly over 10m above Ordnance Datum (aOD). The proposal area is essentially flat at 9–10m aOD. On the west of the proposal area fields 1, 2, 4 and 6 were under wheat (Pls 3 – 6) and to the east fields 3, 5, and 7 (Pls 7 – 9) were under maize at the time of the site visit. An area of set-aside in Field 7 included small plantations of saplings at its south end surrounded by scrub and bolted grass (Pls 9 and 10). A mound of earth covered in recently regenerated vegetation had been deposited c. 15m north of the access from Waterditch Lane. Plantation strips of mature trees, c. 20m wide, form windbreaks between the fields on the west and east sides of the proposal site (Pls 3-9). Quaternary river terrace deposits of the proto Solent river of sand and gravel overlie solid geology of Boscombe Formation Palaeogene sedimentary sand deposits derived from a shoreline setting (BGS 1991). In general the soils are free-draining, slightly acid loams of low fertility (NSRI 2013). 1 Planning background and development proposals Planning permission is to be sought from Christchurch Borough Council to develop the site as a Solar Farm. The Department for Communities and Local Government’s National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF 2012) sets out the framework within which local planning authorities should consider the importance of conserving, or enhancing, aspects of the historic environment, within the planning process. It requires an applicant for planning consent to provide, as part of any application, sufficient information to enable the local planning authority to assess the significance of any heritage assets that may be affected by the proposal. The Historic Environment is defined (NPPF 2012, 52) as: ‘All aspects of the environment resulting from the interaction between people and places through time, including all surviving physical remains of past human activity, whether visible, buried or submerged, and landscaped and planted or managed flora.’ Paragraphs 128 and 129 state that ‘128. In determining applications, local planning authorities should require an applicant to describe the significance of any heritage assets affected, including any contribution made by their setting. The level of detail should be proportionate to the assets’ importance and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal on their significance. As a minimum the relevant historic environment record should have been consulted and the heritage assets assessed using appropriate expertise where necessary. Where a site on which development is proposed includes or has the potential to include heritage assets with archaeological interest, local planning authorities should require developers to submit an appropriate desk-based assessment and, where necessary, a field evaluation. ‘129. Local planning authorities should identify and assess the particular significance of any heritage asset that may be affected by a proposal (including by development affecting the setting of a heritage asset) taking account of the available evidence and any necessary expertise. They should take this assessment into account when considering the impact of a proposal on a heritage asset, to avoid or minimise conflict between the heritage asset’s conservation and any aspect of the proposal.’ A ‘heritage asset’ is defined (NPPF 2012, 52) as ‘A building, monument, site, place, area or landscape identified as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions, because of its heritage interest. Heritage asset includes designated heritage assets and assets identified by the local planning authority (including local listing).’ ‘Designated heritage asset’ includes (NPPF 2012, 51) any ‘World Heritage Site, Scheduled Monument, Listed Building, Protected Wreck Site, Registered Park and Garden, Registered Battlefield or Conservation Area designated under the relevant legislation.’ ‘Archaeological interest’ is glossed (NPPF 2012, 50) as follows: ‘There will be archaeological interest in a heritage asset if it holds, or potentially may hold, evidence of past human activity worthy of expert investigation at some point. Heritage assets with archaeological interest are the primary source of evidence about the substance and evolution of places, and of the people and cultures that made them.’ 2 Specific guidance on assessing significance and the impact of the proposal is contained in paragraphs 131 to 135: ‘131. In determining planning applications, local planning authorities should take account of: • the desirability of sustaining and enhancing the significance of heritage assets and putting them to viable uses consistent with their conservation; • the positive contribution that conservation of heritage assets can make to sustainable communities including their economic vitality; and • the desirability of new development making a positive contribution to local character and distinctiveness. ‘132. When considering the impact of a proposed development on the significance of a designated heritage asset, great weight should be given to the asset’s conservation. The more important the asset, the greater the weight should be. Significance can be harmed or lost through alteration or destruction of the heritage asset or development within its setting. As heritage assets are irreplaceable, any harm or loss should require clear and convincing justification. Substantial harm to or loss of a grade II listed building, park or garden should be exceptional. Substantial harm to or loss of designated heritage assets of the highest significance, notably scheduled monuments, protected wreck sites, battlefields, grade I and II* listed buildings, grade I and II* registered parks and gardens, and World Heritage Sites, should be wholly exceptional. ‘133. Where a proposed development will lead to substantial harm to or total loss of significance of a designated heritage asset, local planning authorities should refuse consent, unless it can be demonstrated that the substantial harm or loss is necessary to achieve substantial public benefits that outweigh that harm or loss, or all of the following apply: • the nature of the heritage asset prevents all reasonable uses of the site; and • no viable use of the heritage asset itself can be found in the medium term through appropriate marketing that will enable its conservation; and • conservation by grant-funding or some form of charitable or public ownership is demonstrably not possible; and • the harm or loss is outweighed by the benefit of bringing the site back into use. ‘134. Where a development proposal will lead to less than substantial harm to the significance of a designated heritage asset, this harm should be weighed against the public benefits of the proposal, including securing its optimum viable use. ‘135. The effect of an application on the significance of a non-designated heritage asset should be taken into account in determining the application. In weighing applications that affect directly or indirectly non designated heritage assets, a balanced judgement will be required having regard to the scale of any harm or loss and the significance of the heritage asset.

Dorset Coastal Community Team Connective Economic Plan Christchurch Coastal Area Plan Key Information This document is linked to the Connecting Dorset Coastal Community Team Economic Plan and (Sections 1-4 can be found in this) 5. Local Area (Provide brief geographical description) Christchurch is the most easterly coastal town of Dorset. It boarders Bournemouth to the west and the New Forest, Hampshire to the east. Christchurch Harbour is the town’s natural harbour with two Rivers the Avon and the Stour flowing into it at its northwest corner. Stanpit Marsh lies at the northern edge of the harbour and is a 65,000 Hectare local nature reserve. To the west side of the harbour is the prominent natural coastal headland, Hengistbury Head which protects the harbour. The harbour contains large areas of saltmarsh and is protected by Mudeford spit (a sandbar) which has fine sandy beach on both sides of a walkway lined with beach huts. Christchurch is a gateway town to the Jurassic coast, home to the nearby Highcliffe Castle and the cliff line of the Highcliffe to Barton Geological SSSI. The coastal area has a rich and diverse blend of historic, geological and environmental features and is a thriving community hub. It is an important place for coastal recreation and tourism activity, steeped in social history.

  • The Cold War and Beyond
    Contents Puge FOREWORD ...................... u 1947-56 ......................... 1 1957-66 ........................ 19 1967-76 ........................ 45 1977-86 ........................ 81 1987-97 ........................ 117 iii Foreword This chronology commemorates the golden anniversary of the establishment of the United States Air Force (USAF) as an independent service. Dedicated to the men and women of the USAF past, present, and future, it records significant events and achievements from 18 September 1947 through 9 April 1997. Since its establishment, the USAF has played a significant role in the events that have shaped modem history. Initially, the reassuring drone of USAF transports announced the aerial lifeline that broke the Berlin blockade, the Cold War’s first test of wills. In the tense decades that followed, the USAF deployed a strategic force of nuclear- capable intercontinental bombers and missiles that deterred open armed conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the Cold War’s deadly flash points, USAF jets roared through the skies of Korea and Southeast Asia, wresting air superiority from their communist opponents and bringing air power to the support of friendly ground forces. In the great global competition for the hearts and minds of the Third World, hundreds of USAF humanitarian missions relieved victims of war, famine, and natural disaster. The Air Force performed similar disaster relief services on the home front. Over Grenada, Panama, and Libya, the USAF participated in key contingency actions that presaged post-Cold War operations. In the aftermath of the Cold War the USAF became deeply involved in constructing a new world order. As the Soviet Union disintegrated, USAF flights succored the populations of the newly independent states.

    Wiltshire Yews An Inventory of Churchyard Yews Along the Avon Valley By Peter Norton Part 2 of 2 – following the Avon from Salisbury to the sea 1 Britford – St Peter Map 184 SU 163 284 2 miles SE of Salisbury Earliest records indicate a Saxon church in 800 which remained largely unaltered until 1330. Restoration took place in 1873. Three yews grow on this site. A male (below left) with a girth of ’”at ’and ’grows near to the south west porch. South east of the church is a female measuring ’”at ’and next to this a male (below right) measuring ’at the ground. 2 Alderbury – St Mary the Virgin Map 184 SU 182 269 4 miles SE of Salisbury Evidence of Saxon earthworks has been found, which could indicate an earlier settlement and church close to the current site. The earliest record of this site is found in the Domesday Book. The present church was built in 1857 on the foundations of the old. Seven yews grow within the churchyard with the most notable, female, growing south west of the church porch. This ‘’yew consists of a substantial fragment ’ in girth) of the original tree and an internal stem which no longer grows inside the tree. Its branches are propped up on staves, while the tree itself is supported by a large iron band staked to the ground by a substantial iron pole. In 1999 Tim Hills wrote in the article on Propped Trees in Churchyards “ Wiltshire village of Alderbury came close to losing its ancient yew fragment in the 1990s when St ’ Parochial Church Council applied for consent to fell it.
