Hyde Parish Council Objects to Expanded Campsite at Harry’s Field
Hyde Parish Council has formally objected to the proposed seasonal campsite at Harry’s Field, Frogham, and the associated planning appeal.
The Council considers the development to be contrary to National Park planning policies, highlighting concerns over environmental harm, including impacts on nearby protected habitats, as well as increased traffic, noise, light pollution and risks to wildlife.
Residents have also raised issues around site management, anti-social behaviour and disruption to the local community.
The Parish Council maintains that there is no clear need for an expansion of camping provision in the area and has urged that the appeal be refused.
We hope this website will be of interest and help to residents, prospective residents and visitors.
Hyde is a rural Parish consisting of several hamlets and tracts of heathland in the New Forest, to the east of the A338 between Ringwood and Fordingbridge.
Almost the whole of the Parish is within the boundary of the New Forest National Park Authority, with a small section covered by the New Forest District Council.

The Millennium
At the turn of the millennium, an idea emerged: to create a snapshot of our village as it stood in the year 2000.
This vision, known as The Village Domesday Book Project, gradually took shape as John Marsh and his team gathered historical and contemporary material. Though it remained an idea for some time, the urgency to document our evolving community finally struck once the year 2000 was upon us.
Now, in 2024, we are proud to present this collective record on our parish website. From the outset, the intention was that not one person, but the people themselves, would write it.
Through individual contributions, community input, and a good deal of gentle persuasion, the material you find here came to life. We invite you to explore these pages and savour a glimpse of what the parish was up to back then. Enjoy!
Do you own land that has a watercourse or drainage ditch on or adjacent to it?
Answer: Yes –You are therefore a ‘riparian landowner’ and you are responsible for maintaining those watercourses
