District Groups

Update: South Hampshire District Group

We are continuing to promote our Green Belt for South Hampshire and you can read about it on pages 6-7 of Hampshire Views. There is steady progress in persuading local authorities how important it is to have countryside on your doorstep to provide space for health and wellbeing, fresh air, clean water and tranquillity. There are a million people in the cities and towns of South Hampshire, and we need them to speak out for the countryside around them.

District Groups

Update: North Hampshire District Group

The North Hampshire District Group continues to monitor planning applications within the area and to respond to concerns raised by members and the local community. These currently include proposals for new housing developments and the ongoing case of constructing a Motorway Service Area close to Hackwood Park near Basingstoke.

Read what we think about plans to build 5,000 homes near Winchester. In a nutshell, it's a completely inappropriate location & would likely have a significant adverse impact on #climatechange.

So clear to see the South Downs ridge @sdnpa and the river valleys running down to the coast.

Good to see @BBCCountryfile make the connection between the countryside & planning by raising awareness of the Government's proposals to overhaul the planning system

Great story on hedgerows too - CPRE campaigned to get the Govt to protect hedgerows 💚

Archaeological evidence has shown that domestic pigs may have arrived in Europe around 8,500 years ago. They usually sleep for around nine to eleven hours a day but this often changes with the seasons.
