Matters worthy of further consultation which may or may not be by a public engagement meeting included –

Trees – which type and where should they be preserved.  PS to obtain a list of TPOs outside the conservation area

Open spaces – guidance on preserving privately owned open spaces

Allotments – all noted the village allotments were sited on land owned by the Diocese of Winchester and previous attempts by KSPC to have the title transferred had been refused although management of the site could be transferred if the PC was willing to accept responsibility; at the time no positive benefit could be seen by doing this.  The allotments were listed as an asset of community value which meant that if the site was to be sold the PC would have first refusal.  However, it was felt that something more substantial should be in place to protect and recognise the strong feeling in the village about their long term retention.  KH to provide contact details for the Diocese person with whom the allotment association was currently dealing and PS, on behalf of KSPC, would open a dialogue accordingly.

Housing needs – clearer definition from the community was needed on actual type and number of dwellings required and where they should be located probably in conjunction with the identified brown field sites (see 4.1)

Employment – a need to talk to local businesses to establish potential development was recognised.

Village amenities – the disadvantages of seeking an established doctors’ surgery and the probable inability of local practice to provide were noted but potential for drop in clinics existed.

Other activities – potential for Government funding for Learn Direct classes and HCC/TVBC adult education eg computer classes in Village Hall worthy of exploration

Utilities – further improvements in broadband coverage to be investigated
