Referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan for Bramshott and Liphook
- paul earwicker (28th Sep 2024 - 11:54:33)
Hi,
Received Postal Polling card, any views on the vote?
Will it make any difference on final decisions, for our parish in the future?

Re: Referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan for Bramshott and Liphook
- Trevor Maroney (28th Sep 2024 - 15:15:28)
What Plan? There isn't one. It's a document containing finely tuned 'holding policies' and consolidates [EHDC] existing local plan in the parish, according the Independent Examiner in Paragraph 7.16 of this report.
In my view as it does not identify appropriate sites for future housing (especailly social), employment, and essential infrastructure to support a growing population we are wide open to developers selecting the sites for us. This is particularly important when EHDC fails to maintain a 5-year housing land supply. In such a situation, if planning permission is refused and the developer appeals the inspectors are highly likely to approve the application. This is based on previous appeals.
Why the steering group has chosen this course of action and the Parish Council's decided to put the incomplete NDP to a referendum is unknown. I know, from personal experience in working of the B&L Parish Plan, how much hard work, time and effort has been spent in producing the policies, for which the group should be highly commended.
As it stands, I will certainly be voting against it.

Volunteers have spent a lot of their time on this plan over the last 7 years. Neighbourhood development plans were not set up to install infrastructure, that is beyond their remit and would be rejected by the inspector if they were to have done this. Obviously they have also to be guided by EHDC who have already picked housing sites for Liphook in their emerging local plan. The benefit of voting yes for this plan, even if no sites have been picked out in the plan is that with a plan, more money is allocated to the Parish Council than without a plan. For example 25 percent as opposed to 15 per cent. It would be churlish to vote against the plan for that reason alone. If the Neighbourhood plan had picked sites, they would be choosing to add to the amount of new housing already in line for Liphook - when that would be over and above the housing allocation given by government to fulfil.

My belief when this was first introduced was that it was a plan by the people of the community as to what and where things should be put . IE where our allocated housing should go what infrastructure was needed what sort roads were needed to cope with the huge increase of traffic etc etc . And this plan would be by the majority votes of the community. And then presented to EHDC for them to use as a guide as to what the people of liphook would like to happen. The first problem came when voting for places to put houses the majority by far was bohunt manor and nothcotes plans . We were told that you can’t build houses in the national parks that caused an uproar from then on the whole plan has degenerated into farce not worth the paper it’s written on . The council will do what they want unfortunately our local council did not back the community with our thoughts.

Unfortunately the Neighbourhood Plan Steering group, both present members and past, were on a hiding to nothing from the outset.
Allocating housing sites is a minefield with all interested parties having their own agenda, either for or against sites.
Liphook has a massive problem with the inclusion of around 30% of the parish, including the ideal sites for new housing and infrastructure, in the SDNP, where development is restricted and the planning authority says no to all development if it can be sited elsewhere in the parish outside of the National Park (even if those locations are much further from facilities, less sustainable and give nothing to the community).
The NDP group appear to have decided to take the (relatively) easy route and removed any form of housing allocation from the NDP, therefore making it a somewhat toothless plan.
All housing will be allocated by EHDC and SDNP. The SDNP see no reason to allocated Liphook any housing as they don't see Liphook as a settlement within the park. EHDC are struggling to find enough sites for the present housing number in the 50% of the district they control for planning. When that figure increases by approximately another 70% due to the new governments insistence on the southeast being concreted over (our fault for voting conservative for too long so hard luck!) it will be a free for all with unsustainable, ill conceived housing estates popping up all over the place with no infrastructure.
Well done to NDP steering group for getting it to referendum but unfortunately it will have no impact on any housing, and therefore infrastructure and facilities, within the parish.
The only thing it will do, if it is passed (which I imagine it will as I can't imagine they'll get more than a handful of voters), is provide an extra 10% of CIL money to BLPC, which is the sole reason it was started 7 years ago!
So Mr Croucher, and all subsequent Parish Council Chairs, have got what they wanted, well done to all involved.

- Joe (29th Sep 2024 - 13:45:59)
Yes M you are right - from memory developers who did not like not being included in the presumptive plan threatened legal action if their site were not included. This is not the only plan to have had intimidating tactics used against them so yes of course they took the easy option and allocated no sites. It was never about infrastructure anyway, I tried to tell people many times on here the words Neighbourhood DEVELOPMENT plan means that is what it is about. If they had not been intimidated by developers they would have chosen a few small sites I am sure. The policies are in place though and the planning authorities now have to take some notice of them unless they conflict with National planning policy.
Perhaps the public at the start did not ask the right questions and were promised too much by the original committee who did not fully understand what they could and could not do.
I disagree that the “ whole community was outraged “ they did not choose to pick a site in the South Downs National Park- only the developers!

- Russ (29th Sep 2024 - 17:11:19)
Sorry Joe but I attended most of the original meeting along with a great many liphook people. All the questions filling in form etc doing the walk abouts . At the time of choosing places to put houses bohunt manor and Northcott land was the most voted for not only once but many times same result. The liphook community got fed up with the attitude of the people running the plan not listening to the majority. As it turns out if the Parrish council had backed the community and stood up to the national park people as now it seems they can be challenged because of all the errors they have made in poor settings of boundaries as liphook. The community has never been listened to throughout the years nothing changes. It was never the developers it was the location of the land at bohunt that could have given liphook a lot of infrastructure that NO other land could so we end up with houses in the wrong place. All the other development sites only do more damage to liphook but no one cares.

- Joe (29th Sep 2024 - 18:06:58)
Russ no Neighbourhood plan anywhere had the power to challenge the boundary of the park ? I do not know where you heard that. I will challenge you also in your belief that everyone in Liphook wanted to see 600 houses built on the Bohunt land. I was also at the meetings and although a lot of consultations were held, Neighbourhood plans were never ever created anywhere to circumvent the normal planning rules? They are already anyway out of date and the new government are strengthening the protections for the National Park areas. Maybe the original committee did not understand the limitations of what they could achieve? Take it up with them if you feel mis - led. East Hampshire overspent on their legal bills trying to get the National Park to take higher housing numbers and they failed.

Re: Referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan for Bramshott and Liphook
- Russ (30th Sep 2024 - 11:28:30)
Joe I didn’t say all the people in liphook wanted housing on bohunt I said majority at every vote. As for building on national parks land and boundaries the last government it was discussed national park boundaries causing major problems around the country cutting parishes in two liphook was mentioned as an example. Making it difficult to locate housing in the best place. This government seems to want to build everywhere so time will tell. Yes we know you are dead against building on that strip of land but if you look at a map of liphook you can see it’s the best place to develop if we have to . As long as the people at EHDC planning do their job and make the developers toe the line and put in the infrastructure and facilities promised. The plans put in by bohunt and Northcott at the neighbourhood meeting were quite extensive and if they carried it out the village would benefit enormously. But as said they need to be monitored. That land is just sitting there doing nothing no one allowed on it NOT open to the public. 500 metres from our conservation area and could help to save that area. The national parks are great in what they do but mistakes have been made and they should realise this .

Re: Referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan for Bramshott and Liphook
- Truth (30th Sep 2024 - 13:44:52)
Having received my polling card, I took a moment to rapidly review the Plan and came to some conclusions.
Firstly, while some will be aware of the Plan no-where did I find a quick and easy summary that could be useful to those who haven't read the full document.
Secondly, if nothing else, cast an eye over p97-104 to get a sense of the items included in the Plan, and how 'deliverable' they actually are.
Thirdly, and my own personal view, the Plan will only ever have a very limited impact. It's aspirations (housing, transport, sustainability) - all depend on higher levels of coordination and development within the parish - and do not have specific action plans.
At best this is a framework, offering guidance that is not enforceable by any law.

Re: Referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan for Bramshott and Liphook
- AR (30th Sep 2024 - 13:49:50)
I attended all these meetings and and helped out at one where the neighbourhood plan put forward the places for possible development.
The Bohunt frontage was the prefered site beccause of the proposed allotments , medical centre, football ground and ring road.
I have tried to find the planning that was put forward but have been unable to find it.
Over the years it has been talked about on here and I did find this one from the past
Local plan - planning and development in Liphook
- Net (26th Jul 2011 - 11:40:24)
If my memory serves me well regarding the meeting in Midurst the doctors were for this as well as our District councillors. A lot of people replied to the planning proposal in favour . Resistance came from the SDNP and some Parish councillors. Considering this area was not in the National Park once should have been discussed more.
Since then housing has been built on areas that have become more sprawled out, the consequences being more traffic generated in the square.
Perhaps Editor may be able to find the planning in the past threads.

Re: Referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan for Bramshott and Liphook
- Joe (30th Sep 2024 - 14:11:02)
Truth - no Neighbourhood anywhere is set into a legal framework, only the NPPF - and the plan is the best it can be under the circumstances of threats from developers. It is very sad but Parish councils do not have the money to take them on. The benefit of the plan is an extra 10 percent of money coming to the Parish council from new developments
so surely it is better to have one for that reason alone? Voting against the plan means 7 years hard work down the drain.

Re: Referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan for Bramshott and Liphook
- Truth (30th Sep 2024 - 14:25:41)
Joe, I didn't say if I was voting for or against. I actually haven't made my mind up.
It's very important to note that the monies you mention - Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funding - is totally and wholly dependent on new development coming into the Parish. It currently doesn't exist, and won't exist without new development. Even then the amount isn't assured and is highly variable (again, dependent on development) - as are the aspirations of the Plan that are linked to it.
Hence my point that the Plan is 'at best' guidance and unenforceable in law.

Re: Referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan for Bramshott and Liphook

I think the Parish Council have been getting CIL money through from the District Council the system has been in place for a number of years they have been getting 15 per cent rather than 25 per cent.

Re: Referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan for Bramshott and Liphook
- Joe (30th Sep 2024 - 19:32:16)
It is interesting to note on the refusal letter from the planning authority on the Bohunt application ( paragraph 5 ) where it goes into detail about the promised new facilities, that there was no confidence on the part of the planning authority that the promises were going to be forthcoming. I myself questioned the developer about that some time ago and was told that all they were going to do was allocate some land for the facilities not give any money towards getting those facilities built. So obviously I am not the only one who reads the developer’s promises very carefully!

Re: Referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan for Bramshott and Liphook
- Joe (30th Sep 2024 - 20:52:12)
The letter from SOS Bohunt was sent a long time after the refusal of the application. It was the planning policies of the National Park which led to the refusal if you read the refusal letter -nothing to do either SOS Bohunt or the Parish Council. There were no facilities on offer from the developer.

Re: Referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan for Bramshott and Liphook
- Disappointed (1st Oct 2024 - 09:57:10)
Joe the sos group was set up when the first planning application went in to try and stop it . That’s when some councillors were involved but as soon as it became common knowledge they distanced themselves from it . And that’s before the boundaries were set and when the meeting at midhurst was held to set the boundaries the liphook people attended councillors as well weren’t allowed to speak total sell out. If that development had gone ahead the boundary would have been set the other side of that strip of land where it should have been to protect the wet lands. Then liphook would have been out of the national park. It didn’t matter if we were in or out but not half in and half out .

Re: Referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan for Bramshott and Liphook
- Russ (1st Oct 2024 - 15:00:44)
Clive it’s a mine field goes back years before the national parks set their boundaries. Liphook was quite a small village with the A3 running through it lovely place still is . Then we got the bypass HCC revamped the square saying it could be pedestrianised as there would not be much traffic only local as you can see that didn’t happen. We have grown to a town and the area around has gone mad . All the traffic has to come through liphook to access the A3 even some coming from liss because they have trouble getting on to the A 3 at the roundabout. Bohunt school was built in the middle of liphook again against public option so made things worse. So here we are huge amount of traffic crossing the square was said some years ago that it was at capacity especially at school time. HCC highways suggested 5 ring road routes possibly to incorporate in building developments the first opportunity came at the longmoor road development wimpys 600 houses a road from headly road bridge to the new roundabout longmoor road around the development again not implemented by EHDC planning a very angry meeting at pens place . The next suggestion was a road from the longmoor roundabout to a new roundabout in Portsmouth road opposite station road with a rear entrance to bohunt school so all traffic for the school would be by the new road. Very good plans were put forward by Northcott development but of course it is now in the national park so we are stuck with years of very poor planning and people that have their heads in the sand and the sad thing is our lovely conservation area is suffering and we are fast losing our lovely place to live. Just a short remit of the problem.

There was a judicial review about the boundary some 15 years ago I think and the conclusion was that it should not be moved just because developers may benefit. The enquiry cost the tax payer many millions so they will not be doing that again in a hurry. Wherever the boundary had been set though would have caused problems - other communities are in the same position as Liphook being half in and half out, they accept it.

There is no summary of the NBPL that 10% would read and understand
and would be tasked with reading..
Waste of funds and especially the time put in by good people over the years of contributing to what they believed would be service to Liphook..
The many pages will be cast aside by the big players and those with interests sadly..

Thank you Russ, I didn't know any of this. Useful background.
The link to the Bohunt Manor application seems to show that the vast majority of letters support the proposals from that time ten years ago., something like ten supporters for every one against.
To me, it looks very good, with a large park, which presumably is for all the public ? and especially the allotments, which I have seen many times from the Links footpath but seems to be unused. It looks like there is also a football ground near the school, but I am not sure if this is the existing school pitch?
Thanks again

Re: Referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan for Bramshott and Liphook
- Russ (1st Oct 2024 - 17:43:50)
Yes Clive it was a good plan but all the facilities ie football pitch doctors surgery cricket pitch had to be funded. The Northcott development was great open spaces for the public to use rear entrance to bohunt open air classrooms and of course the road to link to Portsmouth road. Yes all this depends on houses but if you put houses anywhere else you get nothing in fact more damage to our square. Look at what liphook received for the 600 houses down longmoor road sweet nothing. This is what I mean very poor planning decisions.

Liphook was held as a prime example. As said the national parks are very good at saving our open spaces but mistakes have been made and they should hold their hands up and do something about it and negotiate with the community’s that are not happy with their lot .

Joe your last post stated that the new government would want the SDNPA to build more houses in the park I think that’s what you implied. But you said they would only build in community’s that are in the park such as liss . So you have been saying they can’t build on the park in liphook bohunt land so how is that land different from any other? . You are correct this government will demand to build on land that is available ie not used as bohunt .

- Joe (1st Oct 2024 - 21:32:59)

Re: Referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan for Bramshott and Liphook
- Joe (2nd Oct 2024 - 07:43:35)
Having read the SDNPA’s local plan which I presume you have as well Russ - Liphook is not mentioned at all because it is not a settlement within the Park. Liss and Greatham are totally different cases because the village centres in both cases are within the Park. The village settlement of Liphook is not. The Park needs any benefits deriving from a large development being built to benefit the community which is also totally within the park- the non built up areas of liphook and also in East Hants probably comprise about 20 houses at the most, against the settlement of Liphook which has at least 6-7 thousand dwellings.

Re: Referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan for Bramshott and Liphook
- Russ (2nd Oct 2024 - 10:16:33)
Well Joe you have hit the nail on the head. You say house’s can be built in the park but only to benefit communities in the park that’s the big problem throughout the country and what councils are communities are complaining about.
Where Parrishs are split as liphook development can’t be put in the right place to benefit that community just because it’s not all in the park as liphook. You have a boundary approximately 500 metres from the centre of our town but we can’t develop that land for the benefit of our community that’s the BIG problem.
The park needs to look at every situation and work with the local council and community to benefit that community whether it’s in or out of the park not be draconian about it. After all we all have to live on this planet so they should be making efforts to help communities not make it harder. Just think about it 500 metres on the other side of the boundary 600 houses built no benefit to liphook says it all.

Re: Referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan for Bramshott and Liphook
- Joe (2nd Oct 2024 - 14:11:05)
Hi Russ for the reasons I have outlined before the Park will probably not allow 600 houses on the periphery of a settlement which is in a different planning authority? They have no reason to work with a community which is out of their planning area. Also the Notthcott proposal is a joint one with Bohunt and having read that carefully they only propose the same thing that Bohunt did which is to allocate land for facilities not actually PROVIDE the facilities. They have now actually changed the application to allocate land for a proposed nursing home. They have dangled a carrot to contribute money towards HCC building a road but I do foresee that would be a private access only road. Anyway they have submitted their whole application in principal to the SDNPA who are updating their local plan.

Where did you get the 600 houses figure for the Bohunt proposal ?
Are you not mixing this development with the Highfield one which was trying for 600 houses and no infrastructure. ?
The Bohunt development was much smaller and more sympathetic to the village and I believe had Kevin McClouds input.

Hi Clive cannot see the doc so perhaps you could give a clue which document you mean?
Hi AR I think the Bohunt land had previously proposed more houses in a previous application so yes I may have got the amount wrong, but the previous application ( which was also refused )included the McCloud connection. I investigated the Kevin McCloud endorsement and found that he had been paid by the company who were doing the publicity for the Bohunt application.
Having read the latest planning committee minutes from the SDNPA there is reference to the Labour Party’s changes to the NPPF. These policy changes are actually going to give National Parks enhanced protection against over development. They have just allowed a new estate in Lewes town centre to be built on the site of a former bus station. So you see they do allow new developments in the towns?

Joe don’t know how old you are but you seem to spend most of your time on this site and doing a lot of research don’t you have a job to do . Because it seems you don’t know that much about liphook. Our play ground was most of the housing estates around liphook when it wasn’t split in two by the national parks.

Hi Steve - no Kevin MCloud had a seperate business (which went bust) as well as his TV job which was to go into partnership with those who wanted to add the Kevin McCloud famous name to housing. I did not keep screen shots of the research I did into Geriwell estate etc and the previous planning application previous to the 2016 application it was all too long ago. His name was being bandied about by the publicity firm who did promotional work for the Bohunt Manor application at the time.
Also the Princes Trust operated a similar consultancy which was also a very commercial venture offering link ups etc and payments for use of the name. Just normal business practice.

Hi Russ I am retired but not as old as you I have been retired nearly 20 years now. I was not born in Liphook but does that mean that only those born in Liphook know anything ? I have lived in the area for nearly 40 years.
If you read the Kevin McCloud link about the development in Lovedean - that one was being touted around by the Bohunt developers at the time as what they would do on the Bohunt Manor land with Kevin McClouds’ input. It all seems to be a similar plan to the first big Bohunt Application. Glad that it was refused for Bohunt.

Joe that explains how you have the time to post a lot . I wasn’t born here war saw to that but did come back in 1946 . It doesn’t matter how long you have lived here it’s a fantastic place live . Yes I seen a great many changes some good but unfortunately many bad. Just still confused as to why you’re so against development on that strip of land. If it was handled correctly it would benefit Liphook enormously .
