One of the ONH office delights is the clear dark sky views over the Cotswolds. Venus and other planets have been visible over the last few days with the naked eye. Not a bad start to the New Year.
(And, yes, if you have ever wanted to write 'dark skies' planning policies we can help you with this.)

A lovely sunny afternoon yesterday in Sandleheath, working with members of the Steering Group scoping their Neighbourhood Plan, we met at the beautifully restored arts and crafts hall.
Located just outside of the New Forest National Park, with the added bonus of a scenic drive and pony sightings!

A site visit yesterday to beautiful Fawley, Hampshire; embarking on their first Neighbourhood Plan. Our tour guide was Fawley Parish Council - who took us from beach huts to brewery via the Fawley Complex refinery. Fawley is part of a cluster of New Forest (& adjacent) clients that ONH represent.

Who can resist a trip to the charming Roman village of Silchester in Hampshire? Silchester will be working with ONH to create a Neighbourhood Plan. Our team visited yesterday for a tour of the area - from a primary school in the woods and village pub on the green.
