Foreman Homes plan rejected

The planning inspector has today turned down Foreman Homes appeal which would have resulted in the building of 150 homes on a green field off Posbrook Lane.

The building firm appealed Fareham’s ruling almost a year ago and residents were becoming concerned over the delay.

A photographic impression of what the development would have looked like.

The Titchfield Village Trust was at the forefront of the campaign to halt the development.

On hearing the news, Village Trust Chairman, Nick Girdler said, “Over the last year the Trust has been arguing against this development and gave a presentation stating as much at the inquiry.

“The inspector has concluded that the green (Meon) gap that is protected under FBC planning guidelines is important enough to prevent Foreman Homes going ahead with their development.

“Thanks to all of you who wrote objecting to the planning application, they all formed part of the argument which has proved successful. Well done everyone in the village.”

The inspector gave the overall reasons for rejecting the scheme, saying, I conclude that the proposed development would result in material harm to the character and appearance of the area.This would result in harm to a valued landscape.

Tarmac around the Great Barn

The open area in front of Titchfield’s Great Barn has been covered in tarmac along with the drive up to the Grade 1 listed building.

The Titchfield Festival Theatre, which uses the barn for plays and as a wedding/events venue, have applied to Fareham Borough Council for retrospective planning.

Residents, however, have voiced their objections, saying that the tarmac is, ‘totally out of keeping with the amazing old barn building.It must be left as a track’.

The Grade 1 listed Great Barn

Another objector on the FBC website says, ‘this sterile expanse of tarmac now almost surrounding and overwhelming the historic site of the barn is hideous.’

The barn, is a medieval monastic timber-framed aisled barn dating to the 15th Century and still retains a large amount of original features, such as the unusual and beautiful timber roof structure.

The building is now incorporated into the country park and along with Titchfield Abbey forms a unique historic landscape.

The FBC planning reference is Ref. P/19/0316/FP

Dear Brutus at Titchfield Festival Theatre

What if you had a second chance?

“The fault, Dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves….” Titchfield Festival Theatre is delighted to announce the forthcoming production of Dear Brutus by JM Barrie, the author of Peter Pan, The Admirable Chrichton and Quality Street.

This is a haunting drama revealing the inner soul and longing of eight widely differing strangers, performed to Barrie’s original script. It is darkly comic, full of elfish wit and human tenderness. If you enjoyed reading Peter Pan and A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream, you will love this beautiful and enchanted play.

A magical wood appears on Midsummer Night’s Eve and the eight strangers are invited into it by a mysterious old man. What happens there has the power to change their lives for ever… giving each individual an insight into what life would have been like if they had that second chance which they so longed for.

Kevin Fraser, Artistic Director of Titchfield Festival Theatre says,

“This play holds very dear memories for me as it was the first play I ever appeared in live on Radio 4 and recorded at the Kings Head Theatre in London. Dan Crawford who cast me and ran the theatre died that same year. He was a real loss to theatre and a huge and eccentric influence on me!”

Dear Brutus opens on Wednesday 10th April 2019 until Saturday 20th April at 7.30pm in the Oak Theatre, Titchfield Festival Theatre, St Margarets Lane, Titchfield PO14 4BG.

New powers to tackle irresponsible dog ownership

Following a recent public consultation, a new Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) has been introduced in Fareham to encourage responsible dog ownership.

This decision was agreed at an Executive meeting on Monday 4 March and will allow the Council to:

• ·         Continue to tackle Dog Fouling

• ·         Request dogs be put on leads if causing a nuisance in public

• ·         Ensure dogs are put on leads in sensitive places e.g. cemeteries

• ·         Limit the numbers of dogs one person can walk at one time to four

• ·         Exclude dogs from certain areas e.g. play areas

Executive Member for Health and Public Protection, Cllr Trevor Cartwright, said: “Feedback received from over a thousand Fareham residents and organisations showed that most respondents strongly agreed with the majority of our proposals. We hope the measures we are introducing as a result will help address the regular complaints that we receive about dog fouling and nuisance behaviour when dogs are not under proper control.”  

Respondents strongly objected to two of the planned proposals and the Council removed these from the PSPO as a result. They were to remove the extension to the dog exclusion zone on Hill Head beach and to ensure dogs should be kept on leads at Cliff Road Promenade. In addition to this the proposal to ensure that dog walkers have a means to pick up litter was removed due to concerns on how this would be enforced. 

The Council also created a more flexible and inclusive definition of those people exempt from the order to include a greater range of people who rely on assistance dogs. The PSPO does not apply to people who are:

• Registered blind or deaf.

• Have a physical or mental impairment which impacts on their normal day-to-day activities and rely on an assistance dog.

• Members of Assistance Dogs UK, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People or any other charity registered in the UK who rely on or are training assistance dogs.

The new order will come into force Monday 1 April and replaces a PSPO introduced in 2016 to tackle dog fouling and expires this month (March 2019).

Titchfield’s new Short Play Season showcases exciting new talent

Emma Jeans and Andrew Anderson and Peter Trott.

Word of Mouth is an exciting new short play season which will provide an opportunity for new and
emerging writers to showcase their work on the Titchfield stage.

Every night, eleven short plays will be performed, some of which have been specially written for this production. Each play has its own director and will have a simple set; 2 or 3 chairs and a table.

The event is dedicated to the memory of Paul King who was a good friend of Titchfield Festival
Theatre as well as a staunch supporter of new plays, and a wonderful and respected writer. Paul was instrumental in setting up the theatre’s Playwrights Group which meets fortnightly, a mixture of
experienced and less experienced writers, with the objective of helping to support and nurture new
talent.

Each play lasts for between 10 – 20 minutes, with six performed in the first act and the remaining five
following after the interval. The plays will cover a wide range of themes with subjects including
revenge; human relationships and alcohol addiction. Some are darkly comic pieces, others more
serious or perhaps even bizarre…

Johnny O’Hanlon, co-ordinator along with Janette Evans of the inaugural Word of Mouth production
says, “I am delighted to have the opportunity to direct these plays, particularly as my good friend Paul
King was such an inspiration to emerging and younger playwrights locally. It has been fascinating to
see how each of the plays has evolved over the past year and is testament to the amazing talent we
have at Titchfield Festival Theatre.”

Johnny continues, “I love the fact that the writers have created characters that are multi-layered,
offering insight and a sense of perspective. Word of Mouth will undoubtedly challenge the audience
as the plays move from style to style and it focuses their attention for that brief moment on a different
world.”

In addition to the new adult theatre production, Titchfield’s highly successful and award-winning Youth
Theatre is performing its own series of plays on Saturday 23rd March: Is it me? All of the actors are
aged between 8 – 16 years. There will be twelve plays, each one based on the improvisations
performed by the youngsters and some written by Johnny O’Hanlon. There will be a mix of styles,
including slapstick; serious; spooky and surreal.

Word of Mouth opens on Monday 25th March 2019 until Saturday 30th March at 7.30pm in the Acorn
Studio, Titchfield Festival Theatre, St Margarets Lane, Titchfield PO14 4BG.

Concerns about landfill beside the Meon

A number of Titchfield residents have voiced their concerns over the appearance of piles of earth in a field alongside the River Meon.

The site, South of Bridge Street, often floods following storms.

Fareham Borough Council is aware of the complaints and have spoken to the landowner who thought that it was a good idea to raise the land so that the plot of land could be used to graze horses.

Under local government rules planning permission would need to be obtained to undertake any such work. It is understood that the landowner is now in the process of submitting a planning application for the site

Locals have also spoken on social media of large bonfires on the site and also of their worries that the soil being used is contaminated.

The Titchfield Village Trust have also voiced their concerns to our Councillor Connie Hockley who, in turn, has spoken to the relevant department at the Council.

‘Exhume’ at Festival Theatre

What secrets are uncovered in the garden next door?

Titchfield Festival Theatre’s New Play Season continues with the first-ever production of Exhume by

Roger Goldsmith, a Southsea based playwright and film producer whose work has been performed at international film festivals and in the UK.

Robert returns from travelling overseas to the house in Islington where he grew up with Edward his elder brother.

Edward had bought out Robert’s side of the house left to them by their parents following their death five years earlier, however since then they had rarely been in contact.

A day after Robert’s arrival the police dig up the garden next door suspecting that the remains of a woman murdered twenty years ago may be buried there. What do the police find? Why has Robert come back?

Is there a secret to uncover?

Kevin Fraser, Artistic Director of Titchfield Festival Theatre says, “In our New Play Season we were keen to include a thriller – however Exhume is in reality much more than that. It is an incredibly interesting play and as we have rehearsed it so many new fascinating angles have been discovered. For example, is the story about the discovery of a body?

Who could be the perpetrator of the crime – or has a crime even been committed? Come along and find out.”

Exhume opens on Monday 25th February 2019 until Saturday 2nd March at 7.30pm in the Acorn Studio, Titchfield Festival Theatre, St Margarets Lane, Titchfield PO14 4BG.

End of time for Titchfield!

As you walk along The High Street towards The Square look up and you might notice that something is missing…

Workmen removing the clock

The clock on the house next to the chapel has been taken down and is looking for a new home.

The clock celebrates the village winning the Hampshire Best Kept Village competition in 1987 and once again the following year.

The Titchfield Village Trust were instrumental in driving forward the Best Kept Village project.

After winning the competition for the second year running it was decided to commemorate the award by erecting a clock in a prominent position in the village.

The TVT chairman at the time, said, “It will serve as a permanent reminder to all the villagers and a proud boast to all our visitors”.

The clock, which was unveiled by Fareham’s Mayor, Dorothy Ekins in 1988 will be kept safe until a suitable home can be found for it.

TFT's New Play Season

Titchfield’s New Writing Season to showcase six premières of new plays in 2019

2018 has been a hugely successful year for Titchfield Festival Theatre with no fewer than 30 plays performed throughout the year, together with the completion of a major theatre renovation project.  

Next year promises to be an equally exciting 12 months for the theatre, the UK’s largest and most prolific amateur dramatic company. 2019 sees the launch of Titchfield’s New Play Season allowing several excellent new and up and coming writers the chance to have their plays performed by the company’s membership of first class actors. Six new plays are scheduled in the programme, all of which showcase the talent of local writers of all ages – and which have an equal proportion of male and female playwrights.

Kevin Fraser, Artistic Director of Titchfield Festival Theatre explained why the charity Trustees decided to support the creation of a New Play Season: “Every month local writers send us their plays and approach us, hoping that we will agree to perform their productions.

This made us appreciate the amount of great writing that exists in our community; exciting new plays which challenge the boundaries and provide opportunities for emerging new writers to see their plays performed to local audiences. It can be extremely difficult to get your play into production – and as a charity, we see it as an important part of our role to encourage, develop and nurture creativity and local talent.”

The first play in 2019 is The Saga of Ken and Sandra, a risqué comedy written by Jules Garvey-Welch, which opens on January 9th and runs until the 19th. This is then followed by a wide range of new plays covering different genres; classics, comedies, thrillers, ghost stories and a two short plays about the invaluable contribution working women played in World War 1.

The season finishes with a series of new short plays during March, performed by both the Titchfield Youth Theatre and a week of new short plays written by members of the Titchfield Festival Theatre Playwrights’ Group. Full details of the New Play Season may be found on the website http://titchfieldfestivaltheatre.com/.  

The interest in this new initiative has been so strong that planning is already underway for a 2020 programme. If you would like to submit your work for consideration, please get in touch. 

To celebrate the start of the New Play Season, there will be a Meet The Writers reception to which the media and members of the public are invited to on 16 January 2019 at 6.30pm at Titchfield Festival Theatre. All the Directors and writers of this year’s new plays and play selection through to December 2019, members of the Theatre’s creative team will be present and short excerpts from forthcoming productions will also be performed. Light refreshments will be served.
