The Emsworth Design Statement and the Future Look of Emsworth |
David Jones.
The readers of The EMS are by
definition interested in Emsworth. You are concerned
about how the area develops and in many cases you have
strong views.
Many of you can hear the sounds of the A27, rather louder
than you would like, which is one of the gifts to
Emsworth by our thoughtful planners. Could we have
stopped the road altogether back in the early 80's when
it was built? No. Did we ask for a quiet surface or for
heavier grade sound barriers? I doubt it. Many of us were
not here when it was at its planning stage. Would such
proposals have made a difference? They might have and we
would have a record to say that we had tried. Once
mistakes are made they take years to correct, as we have
already seen with the road.
Changes will continue and there are many projects yet to
come in Emsworth. Governments pressure the local and not
so local authorities into building more dwellings,
leisure facilities, factories, offices and roads. People
want to extend their homes or build a few houses in a
large garden. We have to accept that Emsworth will
continue to change, but we can have some influence if we
act before the pressure arrives.

To present the collective views of Emsworth in the Emsworth Design Statement about those aspects that we feel most keen to retain unchanged, about those we can allow to change and, if changed, how they should fit into the existing structure, are all worth recording. You, the residents, must have some thoughts on all this and we would be pleased to have them. Havant Borough Council is interested in our efforts to produce a Design Statement, and will take notice of it as long as it represents the views of a large number of people and is well presented. If you haven't already got one, please collect one of the forms from the collection box in the Library and write your views on the present look of Emsworth and its future, or join together with any group to which you belong to contribute to its collective thoughts.
The emphasis in this project so far has been on publicising the project and its aims. Hopefully from October onwards, with the support of numerous residents we can concentrate on researching and developing the content of the Design Statement. We have no deadline for completing this phase, but we do intend to finish it by June so that editing and organising the format for printing can then be arranged. Our target is to go to print in October next year.
