Havant Borough Council - Final Recommendations on the new electoral arrangements
January 2022
A joint LRA/LVA group met with the Project Team for the above proposal, virtually, on the 5 January.
A note of the meeting has been prepared and is attached. It is a rather lengthy document at 4 pages and 'heavy going'! However, the site owners will be submitting an Outline Planning Application to Havant Borough Council next month, so it is important we benefit from this further information when commenting formally on the Application.
The essential message is the scheme has the support of the Local Authority, is a plan to be implemented over a 10-year period and seeks to re-focus the employment type to one of high technology users. The suggestion made is there will be less people working on the site and therefore less traffic generation. The Technical Team are setting ambitious targets, but the weakness is the inability of the Owner to guarantee the type and quality of prospective occupants of the site.

Southmoor footpath closure
The recent high winds and tide action has resulted in further significant erosion of Footpath 45. The County Council has decided the path is now too dangerous to use and has closed the affected section. It is unclear what, if any, remedial actions are planned.

The Eastern Solent Coastal Partnership has continued to investigate options for improving Langstone's sea defences. Work with Stakeholders has produced an Options Plan for our exposed coastline. The Report, with indicative costings, is set out below, together with some supporting information. Subject to comments from the local community by mid October, the ESCP will begin more detailed designs and then submit their ideas to the Environment Agency/DEFRA seeking funding for works to be implemented in 2022/2023. The LRA/LVA are working on a positive response. All comments are useful and may be made directly to ESCP or the Residents' Associations.

Survey - Impacts of Coastal Flooding and Erosion on Hayling Island and the Wider Borough Economy
The Eastern Solent Coastal Partnership are working as part of Havant Borough Council, to carry out an economic footprint study for Hayling Island.
Working with professional consultants AECOM, we have developed a short questionnaire to help understand both the direct and indirect impacts of coastal flooding and erosion on Hayling Island and the wider borough economy.
The majority of Hayling Island is low-lying, with a history of serious flood incidents. There are a variety of different coastal defences around the island, of which a high proportion have a low residual life without further maintenance, varying in condition from ‘poor to good’.
The outputs of this survey will be used to identify the wider economic benefits to help justify potential future Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management measures on the island.
We are particularly interested to hear from you if you are a resident, business owner or visitor to the island.
Please follow the link to complete the short survey. The survey will be live until Monday 15th April 2019.
More information on the work the Eastern Solent Coastal Partnership do, can be found on their website.

The Hampshire County Council, together with their Agent Havant Borough Council, propose to extend the cycle path from Mill Lane northwards to the junction with the access road into Langstone Technology Park. A letter has been sent to house holders whom the Council Officers feel most likely to be affected by the plan. The intention is to widen the western footpath adjacent to the A3023 - Langstone Road so that it can accommodate a cycle path. This will involve narrowing the highway north of the Southbrook Road and altering the Langbrook Close junction by removing the small deceleration and acceleration 'slip' lanes. The scheme is designed to avoid the loss of the existing mature tree which currently creates a 'pinch' point in the footpath. The explanatory letter, dated 21st February 2017, and the design drawings are here. Please note the design Engineer invites comments on the proposal.February 2017
