Latest Plan available - September 2018

September 2018

An updated version of the Neighbourhhod Plan is available from the link below. The only remaining item from the plan is a Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) which the Parish Council agreed to fund in their meeting on 1st October and which will be produced over the next 6 weeks. This plus the updated plan are then expected to be reviewed and accepted by the Parish Council in early December prior to being formally passed to Hart District Council by January 2018.

Following the call to sites that was made to local landowners in December 2014 a number of sites were put forward for potential inclusion in the Neighbourhood Plan. These are now on Hart's Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment List, commonly known as the SHLAA. Hart carries out an assessment of these sites to determine suitability for development using an independent assessor. An assessment is also carried out by the Neighbourhood Plan (NP) Steering Group using criteria based on the findings of the questionnaires from the Drop-In Days held in January, March and November of this year. The NP criteria therefore truly reflect the concerns of the local community. These criteria can be viewed by selecting the link below.

On the 19th July open day a number of options were presented for the community to review and provide feedback to help with the selection of sites for inclusion in the final Neighbourhood Plan. The detailed assessments of all sites as presented is given below together with the options as proposed and an on line survey has been set up for people to express their first and second choices from the proposed options and to provide additional comments as appropriate. Please note however that as a result of new information from the developers/landowner received on July 23rd regarding potential house numbers Option B will no longer produce the total number of houses required. It has therefore been withdrawn and is not now included in the on line survey.

Open Days

Part of the development of a Neighbourhood Plan is to ensure that it represents the views of the community. To help with this we have performed three sets of open days earlier in 2015 with a further open day that was held on March 12th 2016. Each of the first two open days gave village residents the opportunity to provide feedback via questionnaires that could either be provided on-line or manually. The last 2 open days have been to provide information on the development of the Plan and in particular on the the sites that have been proposed by the site owners for potential development. The results of each of the open days is available by clicking on the specific links below

Open Day Participation

Public Consultation 1 - These are the results of the first open days held on the 9th and 10th January 2015

Public Consultation 2 - These are the results of the second open days held on the 13th and 14th March 2015

Public Consultation 3 - 7th November 2015

Public Consultation 4 - 12th March 2016

- Wintney Court Estate Proposal

- Assessment of Proposed Sites

- Overall scoring of Proposed Sites.

Note re the above scoring.Each site has received a score against each criteria used in the assessment. The score can be from -3 to +3 depending on how closely the criteria has been met. A weighting has been given to some of the assessment criteria where it is felt that differentiation against other criteria is needed. Therefore where a weighting of 2 is used the score against a particular criteria can range from -6 to +6. Overall the total of all scores for each site has been calculated and the sites are shown in descending score sequence. Therefore the higher the total score is the more favourable the site is considered to be against the criteria developed from the feedback given by the community in the earlier public consultations.

Public Consultation 5 - 16th July 2016

This day was devoted to giving the community an update on the progress of the plan and a set of 4 options that could be considered and prioritised into a first and second choice. In preparation of this over 1700 leaflets advertising the Neighbourhood Plan and this event were delivered to houses in the village.

The detailed options can be viewed from the site assessment section of this web site and a survey monkey to indicate option preferences is available by clicking here

Objectives

Here are our overall objectives

The following Objectives have been agreed for the Hartley Wintney Neighbourhood Plan. They are based on resident feedback from the open days that have taken place during the development of the Plan together with paper and on-line surveys submitted by village residents to reflect the views of the community. They have also been presented during the Parish Council Culture on the Common events held in 2015  and 2016.

COMMUNITY ASPIRATIONS

During the course of the development of the Neighbourhood Plan a number of other requirements were identified as being necessary to maintain the competitiveness and governance of Hartley Wintney in the future.

It is accepted that these are outside of the scope of the Neighbourhood Plan but as they have been mentioned many times by the community they clearly have an importance that is felt should be documented for the community to see.

  • Be an early adopter and implementer of new telecommunications technology and energy conservation national policies

  • Work with transport providers to improve public services in particular to neighbouring towns and hospitals

  • Address the issue of local business and retail employees’ parking

  • Improve car park signage in the village

  • Continue to support and expand provision and use of the community bus service

  • Represent Parish views in relation to current and future use of land at Blackbushe Airport
