6 | Borough Councillor Report – Cllr Tomblin gave a verbal report.
· A full Council meeting was held in October. · Cllr Tomblin’s motion for the Local Plan Update, that planning should be done at a local community level was well supported. · Another motion that was defeated marginally was to kick back to the Government about voter ID cards for 2023. · Precepts – BDBC and HCC precepts are likely to rise in the Spring. · LGA has asked for a visit of Peer review team to give an outsiders view of how BDBC is performing. It seems BDBC is performing well, although there will be a number of action points. · The BDBC Chief Executive and a senior director from BDBC came to visit Bramley Ward in October. Ward Councillors have highlighted various issues across the ward. · Leisure Park – there is a new master plan. It includes a new aquadrome. The general feeling is the master plan is not ambitious enough – various things are lacking, such as a new football ground. |

7 | Parish Environment | |
7.1 | Bramley Green re-wilding project – Sarah Plested gave a short presentation on the current status of the project. The section of Bramley Green that has been rewilded has seen a significant increase in native wild plant species, and therefore an increase in native insects (some rare) and animals as well. The drought appears to have actually helped the wild flowers, since it suppressed grass growth but did not affect the flowers.
Iain James stated that the area rewilded has had 4 years to settle in, and has been very successful. Sarah pointed out that the ideal would be a cut and collect for the whole area, thus rewilding the whole of Bramley Green. The Sustainability Group have some figures for a cut and collect for the whole area – 1 cut and collect would be around £2000. Sarah noted that there is a need to be careful with the terminology – this is a wild grassland meadow rather than a wildflower meadow. Cllr Durrant stated that there were 2 aspects. Bramley PC are happy that the wilding is working, but the area has historically been a green, and therefore it will not be wholly rewilded. The area near Bullsdown is a possible candidate for further rewilding – possibly as a tree regeneration area. Cllr Durrant further noted that if the whole area was to be rewilded, it would need to go out to community consultation. There would also need to be agreement from the landowners. It was noted that there have been comments that the rewilded area looked untidy, and caused problems with sightlines coming out of Lane End. Clerk to set up meeting with landowner to obtain their opinion. Cllr Durrant suggested that the Sustainability Group set up some education sessions about what Bramley Green could be. Hall hire is likely to be funded by Bramley PC. It was agreed that this was a good way forward. Cllr Durrant proposed area 5 three cuts, area 2 and 4 stay as they are, 1 and 3 two cuts with at least one arisings collection. This to be put to Stratfield Saye Estates. Strimming around the posts to done, and sight lines at Lane End to kept clear, and the ditches should be kept clear. Unanimously agreed. Clerk to take forward. Bramley Glade – The Sustainability Group confirmed that HCC Highways own the land. They are interested, but many different departments would need to be involved. They would need to do a feasibility study, at a cost. Sarah Plested to ask for quote for study. |

7.2 | Bramley Green and Burial Ground maintenance contracts – The Clerk noted that the existing contractor has now had 2 seasons to iron out any teething problems. Unfortunately, there are still issues with ease of communication, and with the standard of work carried out. With this in mind, the Clerk has obtained three quotes from local contractors A, B, and C, which have been distributed to councillors. The contracts are split into 3 schedules, for Bramley Green grass cutting, Burial Ground maintenance, and for maintenance of the bund at Yew Tree Close. The Clerk recommended that the Council consider moving the contract from the current contractor. She further noted that the 3 schedules need not be awarded to the same contractor.
Bramley Green and Yew Tree Close schedules decision to be postponed until rewilding project clarified. Cllr Durrant proposed leaving the Burial Ground contract with the current contractor until for next year. Unanimously agreed. |
|
7.3 | Silent Soldier storage and deployment – the Clerk noted that the silent soldiers are currently stored at the Clift Meadow shed, and put up by any councillor who is available at the time. She noted that other local councils are storing their silent soldiers with R C Saunders, who also puts them up at the correct time (this is chargeable). He will also maintain them as necessary. Clerk to obtain costs and revert to PC. |

9.2 | Allotments & Burial Ground
i. St James Park allotments update – the lease is now at the point at which Bramley PC can consider signing it. The draft has been distributed to all Councillors for consideration. The main point of concern is schedule 2 regarding the installation of extra water troughs – the PCs solicitor has noted that these are rather restrictive. However, Cllr Durrant pointed out that the restrictions in the schedule are in line with what Bramley PC would do anyway, in terms of consulting with the landowner as and when the work is scheduled. Cllr Durrant proposed signing the lease in its current form, Cllr Ansell seconded. Unanimously agreed. Clerk and Cllr Durrant to take forward.
Grays Meadow allotments – the water leak has now been resolved. |

Appendix A – November Briefing notes
Briefing Notes – November 2022
COMMUNITY SPEEDWATCH
- General – The insurance for the SpeedWatch equipment has been paid and the documents received.
- Concerning speeds – The Street remains the highest concern (giving traffic volumes and SID positions). It is where it’s proposed that the AutoSpeedWatch cameras would be best positioned.
- SID Locations – Two new locations were suggested for the SIDs, the Triangle by Minchens Lane, and Minchens Lane (south of the Clift Meadow entrance). See SID Data Table below for recorded data at those locations over a 7 day period. (*).
- Recent Local SpeedWatch Activity – 2 Manned Deployments were carried out during October, both by the Village Hall. The Details of 16 vehicles were passed onto the Police. Max speed recorded during deployment was 39mph. The offending rate during the deployments was 4% and 8% compared with the typical offending rate of 30-40%.
- Equipment – The Speedwatch Co-ordinator attended a familiarisation session with the Church Crookham Speedwatch Group on 19th October to review a Bushnell 101911 RADAR GUN that the Church Crookham Group had on loan from Hampshire Police. The Church Crookham Group found the SpeedGun very easy to use, simply “point and shoot “. The Gun gave them an advantage over the SID (which they also had in use) as the detection distance was greater, thus giving vehicles less time to react and slow down. There were only positive comments from members of the public passing. On completion of the Deployment the SpeedGun was transferred, on loan, to the Bramley Group for evaluation/use.
Training with the SpeedGun was undertaken on the Bramley Manned deployment on 25th October and then used as the speed detection source on the 27th October. Like the Church Crookham Speedwatch Group, the SpeedGun was found easy to use and much earlier detection of excessive speed was possible in comparison to the SIDs.
A Parish Council Grant has been submitted to enable the purchase of a Police approved SpeedGun (same as trialled).
SpeedWatch has met with Councillor S. Day regarding the adoption of an AutoSpeedWatch system in the Village. Discussions have been had with Hampshire Police and Hampshire Highways regarding the system. Although the police have no objections to the system they will not currently accept any output data as they feel that they do not have enough resource to manage the extra work load that the AutosSeedWatch system would generate, this despite us assuring them that the data would be tailored so that they only received reports of the persistent high speeders. Highways will require a license to be issued for the installation of the poles (4 off) and equipment. The installation of the poles has to be undertaken by an approved contractor. It is not clear how SpeedWatch could progress this. Does the parish Council have access to an approved contractor for the installation of the poles and can they assist in this matter?
I have included a link to the proposed AutoSpeedWatch system which was successfully trialled in Beech (Hampshire) and attached the Beech AutoSpeedWatch Report from that trial.

- County Deal update
Negotiations are poised to take place with central Government on plans for a Pan-Hampshire County Deal, with the aim of investing in Hampshire’s economy and improving the lives of all residents and communities across the area – by bringing decisions and powers closer to people and places in the region.
Devolution proposals are now ready for formal negotiations with central Government, to secure the best possible deal for residents, businesses and communities across the whole Pan-Hampshire area, (covering Hampshire County Council, Southampton and Portsmouth City Councils, the 11 district and borough councils within the County Council administrative area, Isle of Wight Council and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council).
The combined prospectus can be viewed at https://democracy.hants.gov.uk/documents/s100275/Pan-Hampshire%20Deal%20Prospectus%202022.pdf
- Support for warm winter hubs
Communities across Hampshire are being invited to apply to Hampshire County Council for support from the Leader’s Community Grants Scheme in order to create a network of warm hubs this winter.
Voluntary and community organisations, including parish and town councils, can apply for a grant of up to £5,000 to develop and host warm hubs where people can gather together. This might be in the form of a regular coffee morning or the provision of a shared activity; creative ideas and concepts that will deliver support especially to our most vulnerable residents are particularly welcome. Information can be found at
https://www.hants.gov.uk/community/grants/grants-list/leaders-community-grants .
Additional funding is also available to community groups from the Adult Services’ Local Solutions Grant fund to support local people maintain their independence. This includes assistance to organisations offering finance and money management support to those unable to easily access existing services, as well as for groups undertaking projects to help vulnerable people by reducing social isolation and loneliness. Details can be found at
https://www.hants.gov.uk/community/grants/grants-list/local-solutions-grants/local-solutions-grant
- National Census
Data about the population in your local area can now be viewed readily on census maps published by the Office for National Statistics, search for details at https://www.ons.gov.uk/census/maps .
- Roads
Hampshire Highways’ commitment to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate against the impact of climate change achieved national industry recognition last month. Its Carbon Strategy, which aligns with the County Council’s ambition to be carbon neutral by 2050, won the Environmental Sustainability Award as well as the Special Merit Award in this year’s Highways Industry Awards. The Special Merit Award is a particular achievement in that it is selected by its peers in the industry.
Last month 7,456 square metres of carriageway were resurfaced across the county, with 20,737 gullies and other drainage cleared, 6,535 potholes and other defects repaired and 5,489 square metres of footway repaired or resurfaced.
It is now prepared for the wetter and colder months ahead, with crews on standby 24/7, ready to salt the roads in snow and icy conditions, as well as deal with the impacts of high winds, heavy rain and flooding, such as those recently seen.
- Police & Crime Commissioner
Donna Jones, Hampshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner has launched her annual precept consultation on council tax contributions to policing. The survey is online and will run from 31 Oct to 4 Dec. This survey is to gather views on whether she should increase the level of council tax in support of policing, continuing investment in Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary. The survey can be found at
https://www.hampshire-pcc.gov.uk/get-involved/consultations/precept-consultation
The Commissioner has also published her annual report for 2021/22, providing an overview of the Commissioner’s activities and key successes from when she took post in May 2021. It covers the recruitment of nearly 600 new police officers, extra funding for the region to tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB), domestic abuse and bespoke support for victims of sexual violence.

These were noted. The Clerk noted that permission has also been granted for 30 Coopers Lane (22/02326/HSE). The Clerk particularly noted that the developer has responded to PC comments about the proposed battery installation near Ash Park (22/01797/FUL). These have been circulated to all committee members for consideration. Cllr Tomblin noted that the fire management plan is very local to the site and does not actually tackle how a fire would be dealt with if it happened. He also noted that the Hampshire Fire & Rescue service has no strategy for this kind of installation. It was noted that the lithium ion batteries are the safer kind of battery. Clerk and Cllr Flooks to draft response. |
Clerk/Cllr Flooks |

He stated that he ‘could not be satisfied that appropriate arrangements would be made to secure adequate infrastructure to mitigate the biodiversity impacts of the proposal. Therefore, the appeal scheme would conflict with Policy EM4 of the Local Plan and Policy RE3 of the Bramley NP. As a result of this conflict, the proposal would conflict with the development plan when read as a whole.’ |
|
6. | Water Issues | |
The recent heavy rain has resulted in a repeat of issues at properties in Centenary Fields, which has been reported to the Senior Engineer handling the Bramley sewerage project. There has also been some localised flooding in Bramley Lane, although this has not affected properties in North Row or Bromelia Close on this occasion.
The same Senior Engineer has heard from Wates and BDBC regarding the appeal for the Stocks Farm development, and will be responding in due course. Bramley Parish Council will be informed when the response is made. |
||
7. | Minchens Lane s.106 issues | |
Clift Meadow lighting – the newly installed lights are still not operational. The Clerk is liaising with Persimmon to resolve this.
Allotments lease – there is still one clause that Persimmon and Bramley PC are struggling to agree on, regarding the use of external contractors for the installation of pipework and water troughs. A compromise is being sought, although Persimmon are proving very resistant to changing this. The Clerk and Cllr Durrant continue to work on this. |

8. | Local Plan Update | |
Cllr Tomblin gave an update. The Local Plan Update is technically paused whilst officers obtain and consider the missing necessary reports (water, transport, etc). The housing numbers will also need to be reviewed. Cllr Tomblin has put forward a motion to get involvement with Neighbourhood Plans, local councils, and community champions to understand what it is like on the ground in local communities. This is to aid the Rural Strategy. | ||
