• We have published notes from the recent public meetings and distributed hard copies to sheltered housing schemes, the Mercury Hub and key retail outlets. If you know of anyone who wants a paper copy, please let us know.
• We have sent in a position statement (Draft Interim Statement) setting out our planning arguments opposing the planning application, copying in our MP, Hampshire County Council Councillor, adjoining parish councils, the business community, and the Hamble Peninsular Residents Group. We will update this statement further (hence the draft) when the final Statutory Consultees responses have been received.
• Responses from Hampshire Highways, the Flood Authority, Natural England, Eastleigh Borough Council, and Bursledon Parish Council remain outstanding.
• Very belatedly, we have had an approach from Cemex asking for a meeting with the Parish Council. We have explained that we would like the meeting to be with the community not just us! Watch this space.

• We will be asking Hampshire County Council (HCC) for a short extension in relation to the submission of our response to the Draft Partial Review of the Waste and Minerals Plan. We are hoping to approve our response at the next Full Council meeting on Monday 13 February.

• We will be collating the responses from the "what will the quarry mean for you" survey. These will form the basis of a wider response to HCC identifying not just the technical planning issues but also the real concerns and worries that people have.

• Using your responses, we will also look at the question: "If the worst happens and the scheme is approved, what might help to reduce the impact?". We already have some ideas that stem from the planning issues but want to check these against your comments. This is standard practice on any planning application and is an opportunity to seek the most for the community as compensation for the harm caused by the development /quarry. These suggestions are then either included as Planning Conditions or Hampshire County Council collects money in the form of Section 106 payments to cover some or all of the costs. ...

At last night’s planning committee meeting, our interim response to the gravel extraction planning application submitted by Cemex was approved for submission to Hampshire County Council (HCC).

We intend to submit a supplementary response once the outstanding feedback from statutory consultees has been received (from HCC Highways, Natural England, and the Flood Authority), and will provide a further update as soon as we have more information on this.

We expect to sign off our final response (subject to consultation responses) by the Full Council meeting on 13 February 2023. ... See MoreSee Less

In the last week, responses have been received from our neighbours at Hound Parish Council, the Arboriculture Team who have been looking at trees on the site, Public Health, and Paul Holmes MP. A number of important responses are still outstanding from Hampshire County Council Highways team, Flood Authority, and Natural England. We also expect to see further information from Eastleigh Borough Council’s Environmental Health Officer around the impacts of pollution coming from the site.

Hamble Parish Council held its normal monthly meeting last week and approved funding for a pedestrian survey to highlight the risks to cyclists and pedestrians using Hamble Lane. This was carried on out on 13 January and will be shared with HCC Highways to flag up our concerns about the entrance site.

We have now published a summary of the issues discussed at last week’s public meetings. You can find this here: bit.ly/3wcw7lC. We also asked for feedback on the meetings and people were overwhelming positive – although we need to find another microphone if we hold a further meeting. A date has been provisionally agreed for early March as an opportunity to update people on the next steps.

Despite assurances that the HCC Highways response will be available, illness has struck the team at County resulting in delays. Once we have that response we will be able to conclude the report which our highways consultant has produced as well as a draft of our final response. We hope to share that with residents as soon as possible although the final version is unlikely to be submitted until 13 February giving us time to adjust our response if needed.

Eastleigh Borough Council will be considering two reports linked to the Airfield over the next two weeks; the first is their response to the Draft Review of the Waste and Minerals Plan which will be considered on Monday 23 January 2023. A second report on the Planning application itself will be considered by the Local Area Committee on Thursday 26 January 2023 at 6pm. The venue is likely to be at Pilands Wood, Bursledon.

We have postponed the February newsletter until we have a firm response in place. In the meantime we will be using noticeboards, our website and social media to keep people in the loop. If you think we are missing something let us know.
