New consultation for future development in Fareham

As well as being asked to vote on the Titchfield Neighbourhood Plan residents are being encouraged to have their say on future development in Fareham Borough in general.

Click HERE to read about the Titchfield Neighbourhood Plan and Referendum.

A special Fareham Today is available on the Council’s website outlining issues and options for its emerging Local Plan. The consultation will run from Monday 10 June until 23:59 on Friday 26 July.

Since the Council consulted residents on its Draft Local Plan in 2017, the Government has announced a new way to calculate housing need. As a result Fareham now needs to plan for at least 520 new houses every year.

This new figure means more space needs now needs to be found, so the Council has outlined a number of ways this could be achieved, whilst considering the environment and both existing and new infrastructure, through a series of issues and options. It is now asking Fareham residents and businesses for their views.

The Council will hold a series of pop up exhibitions in the coming weeks where residents can come along and ask questions. The consultation will also be on the agenda at Community Action Team (CAT) meetings being hosted by Cllr Seán Woodward and supported by planning officers.

Councillor Seán Woodward, Leader of Fareham Borough Council, said: ‘Government changes to the National Planning Policy Framework mean we now have to plan for many more houses in Fareham. We are asking residents and businesses to tell us how they would prefer us to deliver these houses. I would encourage them to come along to a CAT meeting or exhibition where planning officers will be on hand to answer questions, and to read through the special Fareham Today. A printed copy will be delivered to houses and businesses over the next couple of weeks.’

• The pop-up exhibitions will take place from 12:00pm-2:00pm

• Locks Heath Shopping Centre, Thursday 13 June

• Portchester Shopping Precinct, Wednesday 19 June

• Fareham Town Centre, Monday 24 June

• Stubbington Green, Monday 1 July

Port and Lemon support UK marine conservation

PORT AND LEMON SUPPORTS UK MARINE CONSERVATION VIA CHARITY PARTNERSHIP WITH SEA-CHANGERS

Titchfield based ‘Port and Lemon’ has become the latest business to form a partnership with the marine conservation charity, Sea-Changers. Sea-Changers supporters can now raise money every time they spend over £10 on the Port and Lemon website by simply using the code SEACHANGERS at the checkout. This action will save the customer 10% on their shopping basket total and Port and Lemon will generously donate 10% of the sale price to Sea- Changers.

Port & Lemon design home items, gifts and cards that have a quirky mix of nostalgia and wit that is inspire by the sea. Their range of contemporary home and gifts is bold, colourful and produced in the UK, and designed by Tracy Evans and Kate Cooke in their Hampshire studio.

The money will feed into Sea-Changers' grant fund which is distributed to UK based marine conservation projects. Sea-Changers is a charity with a simple mission: to give back to the sea. The charity is run by volunteers who develop bespoke partnerships with businesses that care about the marine environment, with the aim of raising money for a UK based marine conservation fund.

Sea-Changers distribute the donated money, in accordance with their funding policy, to a range of projects engaged in: direct marine clean up action, education and awareness- raising about marine conservation issues, species and habitat protection, and conservation research.

Many of the projects funded undertake grassroots community conservation work that simply would not take place without the Sea-Changers grant. Since being set up in 2011, Sea-Changers has awarded over 120 grants to projects right around the UK.

Some examples of the projects that received funds in 2018 are:

• Basking Shark Scotland who will be running a series of clean ups in the remote islands of Argyll transporting their volunteers via ribs and an inflatable dinghy.

• Shetland Amenity Trust who are using the funding to produce a film about the UK's successful voluntary litter pick which involves 20% of Shetland's population volunteering to clean its beaches and coastlines annually.

• Environment Plymouth will be running local workshops (Plastic Surgeries) on the dangers of plastic pollution and the alternatives available for local traders.

• Plastic Clever Salcombe's 'Kids Against Plastic' campaign, which will empower children to help make change in their community and reduce the 'big four' plastic polluters.

Rachel Lopata, Co-Founder of Sea-Changers said: "It's great to be working with Port and Lemon and to receive their fantastic support.

“We love their products so to know that shopping with them is also helping the UK's marine environment gives us a great reason to spend money this Christmas!"

Tracy Evans, Director at Port and Lemon said: “We’re delighted to be able to support such a worthy charity. So much of our work is inspired by our coastal surroundings so it is great to be able to contribute to the Sea-Changers mission”.

Port and Lemon is a creative partnership based in Titchfield, Hampshire, formed in 2012 by Tracy Evans, textile designer and Royal Navy veteran and Kate Cooke, textile designer and keen sailor.

They produce a range of quirky nautical designs using simple and bold imagery and cheeky strap lines which could be produced on a wide range of homeware and gifts.

The Titchfield Neighbourhood Plan explained

Titchfield Neighbourhood Plan - A Brief Summary

The Titchfield Neighbourhood Plan sets out the aims, objectives and policies for the growth of Titchfield over the period 2018 to 2036 www.titchfieldmatters.org.uk

The aim of the Plan is to try to keep and improve:

• the local built areas
• the historic areas
• the natural environment

We also wish to improve the special interest, character and appearance of the area and its historic setting.

The key policies contained in the Plan relate to:  

Housing
During the life-time of the Plan, an average of 10 dwellings per year will be needed, with the emphasis on affordable rental housing and smaller homes to buy. It is hoped this will be met through small-scale infill development within the proposed settlement boundary. Housing needs can be reviewed every 5 years.

Getting Around
Traffic policies and tasks are proposed that are designed to reduce the impact of traffic throughout the Plan area so that the safety and environmental needs of pedestrians are given priority.

Commercial and Economic Considerations
Policies are proposed to ensure the continued success and focus of business premises in the High Street, The Square and South Street. Proposals to convert business or commercial premises into residential use will be resisted.

The Built and Natural Environment
Policies are proposed to ensure that Titchfield remains a village with an enhanced environment and valued open spaces.  

Historic Titchfield
The objective of the Plan is to respect and preserve the history of the area for future generations whilst allowing it to continue to develop and grow.

‘If the Neighbourhood Plan is successful at referendum, it will become part of the statutory development plan for the area. Consequently, decisions on whether or not to grant planning permission in the neighbourhood area will need to be made in accordance with the Neighbourhood Plan.’ - Locality, Neighbourhood Plans, Roadmap Guide.

Get planting for Titchfield in Bloom

Judging last year

Last year, for the first time ever, Titchfield entered Britain in Bloom as part of South and South East England.

The organisers were amazed at the number of people who decorated their front of houses, in the whole area of Titchfield, with flowers and flags.  This is more than just the centre of the village.   

Everywhere looked wonderful and the village of Titchfield won Silver Gilt ( just below Gold) which shocked the organisers as we were a first time entry.

Gloria Hunt from the ‘Titchfield in Bloom’ group said, “This year we are going for Gold .

“We have to show conservation, recycling, care of environment and lots more as well as loads of flowers, so quite a job.

“You will see us through the next few weeks, in green tops planting, sweeping , litter picking and weeding.”

Following on from last year the committee are convinced that this year, and with everyone’s help , the village will look amazing.

They recommend geraniums, lavender, begonias or any plants that need less watering .

Rubbish left in churchyard

A pile of rubbish has been left on Skinhouse Piece alongside St Peter's churchyard.

The pile of rubbish includes rubble, a plastic chair, garden prunings, plastic flowers, a paint tin, plant pots and car tyre.

It is thought that the rubbish had been pulled from the nearby canal sometime last week and is awaiting collection by Fareham Borough Council.
