  • Highcliffe to Hurst Spit England Coast Path: Highcliffe to Calshot - Natural England’S Proposals
    www.gov.uk/natural-england Chapter 1: Highcliffe to Hurst Spit England Coast Path: Highcliffe to Calshot - Natural England’s Proposals Part 1.1: Introduction Start Point: Highcliffe (Chewton Bunny) (grid reference: 421777, 93152) End Point: Hurst Spit (grid reference: 429976, 90860) Relevant Maps: 1a to 1e Understanding the proposals and accompanying maps: The Trail: 1.1.1 Generally follows existing walked routes, including public rights of way, along most of this length. In some areas it is no longer possible to walk on the definitive line of the existing public rights of way due to cliff erosion; here we have proposed the most appropriate route on the ground. 1.1.2 Mainly follows the coastline quite closely and maintains good views of the sea. 1.1.3 At HCS-1-S001 to HCS-1-S020 a significant inland diversion is necessary to take the trail past the Hoburne Naish Holiday Park. 1.1.4 Is generally aligned on cliff top, promenade or pavement along most parts of this chapter. 1.1.5 Follows a route similar to the existing Solent Way, E9 European Long Distance Route and the Bournemouth Coast Path. Protection of sensitive features: 1.1.6 This part of the coast includes the following sites, designated for nature conservation (See map C of the Overview): Highcliffe to Milford Cliff - Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) We have assessed the potential impacts of access along the proposed route (and over the associated spreading room described below) on the features for which the affected land is designated and on any which are protected in their own right.

  • Seascape Assessment for the South Marine Plan Areas
    Seascape Assessment for the South Marine Plan Areas MCA 5: The Solent Snapshot Key Characteristics Description Visual Resource Mapping © Crown copyright and database right 2013. All rights reserved. Permission Number Defra 012012.003. Contains Ordnance Survey Licence No. 100049981 and UK Hydrographic Office data. © Marine Management Organisation. Licence No EK001-201188. MCA 5: The Solent Overall cShnaarpaschteort Key Characteristics Description Visual Resource Mapping Location and boundaries This Marine Character Area (MCA) covers the distinctive narrow stretch of sea of the Solent and its adjoining channels (the largest being Southampton Water) and Portsmouth, Pangstone and Chichester Harbours. It stretches from The Needles and Hurst Point in the west, to Foreland and Selsey Bill to the east. Seaward boundaries reflect the navigational conditions and commercial uses of the Solent, and extend to a maximum of approximately 12 kilometres (6.5 nautical miles) offshore. The western boundary takes account of the change in sea and tidal conditions upon entry into the Needles Channel and Hurst Narrows; and in the east the southern extent of the MCA takes in the main deep-water Nab Channel before making landfall at Selsey Bill. Please note that the MCA boundaries represent broad zones of transition (not immediate breaks in character). Natural, visual, cultural and socio- economic relationships between adjacent MCAs play a key role in shaping overall character. Therefore individual MCAs should not be considered in isolation. Overall character The Solent is one of the busiest stretches of water in the UK, both commercially and for inshore recreation. It includes the major ports of Southampton and Portsmouth, which are nationally important hubs for marine transportation and trade.

  • A1h Other Users
    Offshore Energy SEA 3: Appendix 1 Environmental Baseline Appendix 1H: Other Users A1h.1 Introduction The coasts and seas of the UK are intensively used for numerous activities of local, regional and national importance including coastally located power generators and process industries, port operations, shipping, oil and gas production, fishing, aggregate extraction, military practice, as a location for submarine cables and pipelines and for sailing, racing and other recreation. At a local scale, activities as diverse as saltmarsh, dune or machair grazing, seaweed harvesting or bait collection may be important. These activities necessarily interact at the coast and offshore and spatial conflicts can potentially arise. A key consideration of this SEA is the potential for plan elements to interact with other users and material assets, the nature and location of which are described below. A1h.2 Ports and shipping A1h.2.1 Commercial ports UK ports are located around the coast, with their origin based on historic considerations including, principally, advantageous geography (major and other ports are indicated in Figure A1h.1 below). In 2014 some 503.2 million tonnes (Mt) of freight traffic was handled by UK ports, which is comparable to that handled in the previous year. 98% of this traffic was handled by major ports (Inwards traffic at 318.1Mt and outwards traffic of 173.8Mt) which have shown a 35% increase in traffic since 1980. The 2008 recession had an accompanying 11% downturn in movements from a peak of 584.5Mt in 2005. Grimsby and Immingham is the UK’s busiest port, handling 12% of the UK’s traffic (equal to 59.4Mt) in 2014.
