Hordle april may 22

Also, such a company may not have the
best interests of the whole of the Hordle
community at heart when managing the
site. The PC would like to see the
management of the site remain with a
local authority to ensure that the site is
protected and managed for the benefit of
all of Hordle’s residents.
11. The PC feels that it is best-placed to
contribute to the selection and design of
the facilities on site and would like to be
part of the consultation process for this to
ensure the optimum scheme is produced
for the benefit of the whole community.
12. The space constraints of the site of
Hordle Primary School will mean that any
tangible benefits to education provision for
the village’s children will be inhibited.
13. Places for safe school bus pick up/ drop
off points for children living on the new
development have not been considered.
The application will now go the NFDC’s
Planning Committee for a decision and we
will let you know the outcome.
Development at SS8— Hordle Lane
Many residents will have received a
consultation leaflet from Bargate Homes
about their proposed development of SS8,
land at Hordle Lane. The scheme proposed
174 homes in this allocation of land in
NFDC’s Local Plan, plus public open space.
The Parish Council has since met with
Bargate and has emphasized the following:
1. Density of housing - Bargate tell us they
have now reduced the number of homes
to 157 (50% affordable).
2. Allotments - Bargate is looking to site 15
allotments on the west side of Hordle
Lane. The PC pointed out that 10 plots (20
x ½ plots) had to be provided as a
condition of building on this area. This
means that only an additional 5 plots.
3. Widening of Hordle Lane and impact on
hedges and trees - this is still under
discussion with HCC - the PC Is concerned
about the impact on the surrounding road
network with potential bottlenecks and
narrow adjacent roads.
4. Footpaths - suggestions made on
greater connectivity from the cycle path to
the school to encourage walking.
5. Open Space - Bargate explained that
they were looking at including the
Woodland on the other side of Stopples
Lane as part of this. The PC expressed
concerns that this would be detrimental to
the wildlife in this area, not be a suitable
site as not subject to informal supervision
and that this could “free up“ additional
land to be built on.
6. Hordle Lane - Parking on this at school
drop off and pick up makes it effectively a
single track lane. If more pedestrians
access the school via thi re proposed
pedestrian route this could lead to
pedestrians crossing away from the
lollipop man and be unsafe.
7. Ownership of the land –Pennyfarthing
Homes has an option on the land to the
south of the site.
The full report of the meeting is on the PC
website.
