St Nicholas Graveyard

Advisory Committee for the Care and Maintenance of St Nicholas Graveyard

At the Kingsley Parish Council meeting held on 22nd September it was decided to set up an Advisory committee for the care and maintenance of the St Nicholas Graveyard.

As a first step it has been decided to call a public meeting to hear the views of all those with an interest in the graveyard and to receive nominations of people willing to serve on the committee.

The date and time of the public meeting is Sat 5th November at 14.00 hours which coincides with the opening of the Church on that Saturday. 

Everyone with an interest is welcome to come.

Planning apps back online

I have updated the linkage from here into the planning apps portal - normal service resumes. Their new website isn't as fast as the old one but it does offer better facilities.

Save Cradle Lane - urgent

Hampshire County Council are proposing to impose a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) on Cradle Lane (Kingsley BOAT 29) as follows:-

To prohibit any motor vehicle with two wheels from proceeding in Kingsley BOAT (Byway Open to All Traffic) 29 from a point where it meets Binsted BOAT 75 at SU 8142 3955 to a point where it meets Headley BOAT 36 at SU 8170 3895, and in Headley BOAT 36 from a point where it meets Kingsley BOAT 29 at SU 8170 3895 to its junction with Picketts Hill at SU 8152 3853, between 1 September and 31 May in any year.

To prohibit any motor vehicle with three or more wheels from proceeding in Kingsley BOAT (Byway Open to All Traffic) 29 from a point where it meets Binsted BOAT 75 at SU 8142 3955 to a point where it meets Headley BOAT 36 at SU 8170 3895, and in Headley BOAT 36 from a point where it meets Kingsley BOAT 29 at SU 8170 3895 to its junction with Picketts Hill at SU 8152 3853, at any time.

All objections and other representations in respect of this proposal must be sent in writing to the Head of Countryside, Hampshire County Council, Room 200, Mottisfont Court, Winchester SO23 8ZF or via email to row.notices@hants.gov.uk no later than 28 October 2011.

You may wish to consider that these proposals are irrational in that the winter restrictions on motorcycles (to avoid surface damage in winter) don't apply to either horses or pedal cycles both of which have been shown to be more harmful and that the permanent restriction of 3+ wheeled MVs is merely an over-reaction to a famous instance of vandalism.

Planning apps down

EHDC have altered yet again the visibility of planning applications via their website. As and when they devise a working solution, normal service will be resumed but for the moment you'll just have to visit Penns Place and annoy a planning officer if you want to know what's what.

ROW costs

Further to the "no new bridleway" report last month the Planning Inspector also decided to award partial costs of the appeal against the applicant Maureen Comber in light of her "unreasonable behaviour" in submitting (and insisting on her reliance on) a large quantity of material utterly irrelevant to the inquiry.
