Table 1.2 Isle of Wight Council Proposed Submission Core Strategy April 2011 3 Background Getting to this stage Previous engagement Early engagement has been undertaken through the previous rounds of consultation undertaken whilst developing this strategy and a targetted stakeholder consultation in May 2010. Regulation 25 consultation was undertaken for a six week period in October 2010. All of these stages have included wide involvement from key stakeholders and the general public. Table 1.3 4 Proposed Submission Core Strategy April 2011 Isle of Wight Council 1 Introduction The Island Plan – the Island’s Local Development Framework 1.1 The Isle of Wight is well known for the quality of its environment, with its landscapes and coastlines enjoying a high level of special designation and protection. Whilst this helps to give the Island its unique character it also presents us with the challenge of protecting, conserving and enhancing the environment, whilst at the same time facilitating regeneration and development. 1.2 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended), has introduced a system of plan-making that will help us to do this – the Local Development Framework (LDF). It is not a single plan, but an overall term for a number of separate documents known as Local Development Documents (LDDs), which may be prepared at different times; each one passing through a number of stages before it can be adopted by the Council as part of the Isle of Wight’s LDF, which is called the Island Plan. 1.3 The policies of the Island Plan, once they are adopted, will replace the existing Unitary Development Plan (UDP) saved policies. 1.4 We have developed the Island Plan Core Strategy with a range of people and groups so that wherever possible it complements other strategies and plans for the Island. Figure 1.1 LDF Diagram Spatial Planning 1.5 Spatial planning is a process of shaping local places and is generally based on the following six guiding principles: Produce a vision for the future of places that respond to the local challenges and opportunities and is based on evidence, a sense of local distinctiveness and community derived objectives, within the framework of national policy. Translate this vision into a set of priorities, programmes, policies and land allocations together with the public sector resources to deliver them. Create a framework for private investment and regeneration that promotes economic, environmental and social well-being for the area. Coordinate and deliver the public sector components of this vision with other agencies and processes. Create a positive framework for action on climate change. Contribute to the achievement of sustainable development. The Island Plan Core Strategy 1.6 The Island Plan Core Strategy will set out how, in spatial planning terms, the Island will develop up to 2027. In principle the Island Plan Core Strategy is about “place shaping” and delivery. The strategy and policies set out what will be delivered. When it is appropriate, they will also set out where when and how it will be delivered. In developing the Island Plan Core Strategy we have drawn together all the other strategies of the Council and other organisations that have implications Isle of Wight Council Proposed Submission Core Strategy April 2011 5 for the use of land. 1.7 This document sets out our spatial vision and objectives for the Island and the strategic policies to help deliver them. The spatial vision, objectives and strategic policies flow from the priorities and objectives set out in the Isle of Wight’s Sustainable Community Strategy – Eco Island. 1.8 PPS12: Local Spatial Planning sets out that Core Strategies may allocate strategic sites for development, when they are considered central to achieving the strategy.The following paragraphs set out in very general terms the allocations that are being made in the Core Strategy, the rationale for them (which is explained in more detail in the supporting text to the relevant policy) and also why no housing allocations are being made. 1.9 Creating and sustaining jobs and increasing the Island's GDP is a key driver for the Core Strategy. The Council supports sustainable economic growth and regeneration by ensuring sustainable patterns of employment development, providing opportunities to diversify and strengthen the local economy and increasing the range of high skilled jobs available locally. Due to the importance of this issue to the Island, and the need to be pro-active to achieve the desired outcomes, the Core Strategy makes five employment-related allocations to ensure that there is the certainty of supply of new employment land coming on-stream in a timely fashion within the plan period. 1.10 The Council will not be producing a separate Minerals and Waste Development Plan Document. Whilst Mineral and Waste Planning Authorities generally prepare separate plan documents to cover the areas of minerals and waste, the approach taken by the Council to include these elements in the Core Strategy is in conformity with both Minerals Policy Statement 1: Planning and Minerals, and Planning Policy Statement 10: Planning for Sustainable Waste Management. 1.11 An extension to the Island's landfill site at Standen Heath has been allocated in the Core Strategy. This is of strategic importance to the Island's infrastructure and ability to support the level of development planned for the plan period, as the capacity at the existing void is due to be used by 2015. 1.12 To ensure that the Council, in its role as Mineral Planning Authority, can meet its mineral requirement of 0.1million tonnes per annum, six allocations are made for mineral extraction sites. 1.13 No housing allocations have been made in the Core Strategy, rather the general locations for and levels of housing have been identified and subsequent plan-led mechanisms for delivery. Due to the nature of the housing development on the Island and the wide range of potential sites, it was not considered necessary to make housing allocations in the Core Strategy to ensure delivery of housing development. The policy framework will ensure continuing delivery and the Area Action Plans provide the plan-led mechanism for housing allocations to be made. 1.14 The Island Plan Core Strategy should not be read in isolation. The Island Plan should be read as a whole along with: National Policy Statements Planning Policy Statements (PPSs) Planning Policy Guidance (PPGs) Other Island Plan Local Development Framework documents The Plan Period 1.15 A core strategy is required to have a time horizon of at least 15 years from the date of adoption. It is expected that the Island Plan Core Strategy will be adopted in December 2011, so the lifetime of the plan will be 2011-2027. For monitoring purposes, the exact plan period will run from the financial year 2011/12 for 15 years until 2026/27. 6 Proposed Submission Core Strategy April 2011 Isle of Wight Council Sustainability Appraisal / Strategic Environmental Assessment 1.16 The Island Plan Core Strategy is subject to a Sustainability Appraisal/Strategic Environmental Assessment(SA/SEA).This is an iterative process and an effective way of ensuring that sustainable development principles are taken into account in the plan making process. By assessing plan policies against a broad range of SA/SEA objectives, the appraisal process exposes strengths and weaknesses of the plan, which can help to develop recommendations for improvement. As well as helping to improve the plan, the appraisal process also provides the basis for discussion between stakeholders around a shared set of objectives. Habitats Regulations Assessment 1.17 In the UK, planning authorities must assess the potential effects of land use plans on European (Natura 2000) sites, in accordance with the requirements of the Habitat Regulations.This assesses the impacts of the plan against the conservation objectives of the designated sites.

    Directorate of Community Services Director Sarah Mitchell Historic Environment Action Plan The Undercliff Isle of Wight County Archaeology and Historic Environment Service October 2008 01983 823810 archaeology @iow.gov.uk Iwight.com HEAP for the Undercliff. INTRODUCTION This HEAP Area has been defined on the basis of geology, topography, land use and settlement patterns which differentiate it from other HEAP areas. This document identifies essential characteristics of the Undercliff as its geomorphology and rugged landslip areas, its archaeological potential, its 19 th century cottages ornés /marine villas and their grounds, and the Victorian seaside resort character of Ventnor. The Area has a highly distinctive character with an inner cliff towering above a landscape (now partly wooded) demarcated by stone boundary walls. The most significant features of this historic landscape, the most important forces for change and key management issues are considered. Actions particularly relevant to this Area are identified from those listed in the Isle of Wight HEAP Aims, Objectives and Actions. ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT Location, Geology and Topography • The Undercliff is identified as a discrete Landscape Character Type in the Isle of Wight AONB Management Plan (2004, 132). • The Area lies to the south of the South Wight Downland , from which it is separated by vertical cliffs forming a geological succession from Ferrugunious Sands through Sandrock, Carstone, Gault Clay, Upper Greensand, Chert Beds and Lower Chalk (Hutchinson 1987, Fig. 6). o The zone between the inner cliff and coastal cliff is a landslip area o This landslip is caused by groundwater lubrication of slip planes within the Gault Clays and Sandrock Beds.

  • HEAP for Isle of Wight Rural Settlement
    Isle of Wight Parks, Gardens & Other Designed Landscapes Historic Environment Action Plan Isle of Wight Gardens Trust: March 2015 2 Foreword The Isle of Wight landscape is recognised as a source of inspiration for the picturesque movement in tourism, art, literature and taste from the late 18th century but the particular significance of designed landscapes (parks and gardens) in this cultural movement is perhaps less widely appreciated. Evidence for ‘picturesque gardens’ still survives on the ground, particularly in the Undercliff. There is also evidence for many other types of designed landscapes including early gardens, landscape parks, 19th century town and suburban gardens and gardens of more recent date. In the 19th century the variety of the Island’s topography and the richness of its scenery, ranging from gentle cultivated landscapes to the picturesque and the sublime with views over both land and sea, resulted in the Isle of Wight being referred to as the ‘Garden of England’ or ‘Garden Isle’. Designed landscapes of all types have played a significant part in shaping the Island’s overall landscape character to the present day even where surviving design elements are fragmentary. Equally, it can be seen that various natural components of the Island’s landscape, in particular downland and coastal scenery, have been key influences on many of the designed landscapes which will be explored in this Historic Environment Action Plan (HEAP). It is therefore fitting that the HEAP is being prepared by the Isle of Wight Gardens Trust as part of the East Wight Landscape Partnership’s Down to the Coast Project, particularly since well over half of all the designed landscapes recorded on the Gardens Trust database fall within or adjacent to the project area.

    WILDLIFE DIARY AND NEWS FOR DEC 28 - JAN 3 (WEEK 53 OF 2015) Fri 1st January 2016 54 Birds and 45 Flowers to start the year In my garden just before sunrise the moon was close to Jupiter high in the southern sky and Robins and a Song Thrush were serenading it from local gardens as a Carrion Crow flew down to collect the sraps of bread I threw out on the lawn before setting out on my bike in search of birds. Also on my lawn I was surprised to see that a Meadow Waxcap fungus had sprung up a couple of weeks after I thought my garden fungus season was over - later I added another fungus to my day list with a smart fresh Yellow Fieldcap (Bolbitius vitellinus) growing from a cowpat on the South Moors Internet photos of Yellow Fieldcap and Meadow Waxcap My proposed route was along the shore from Langstone to Farlington Marshes lake and as the wind was forecast to become increasingly strong from the south- east, and the tide to be rising from low at 9.0am I thought it best to follow the shore with the wind behind me on the way out and to stick to the cycle track and roads on the way home so I rode down Wade Court Road listening out for garden birds among which I heard bursts of song from more than one Dunnock (not a bird I associate with winter song) and saw two smart cock Pheasants in the horse feeding area immediately south of Wade Court.

  • Maritime Cliffs and Slopes Habitat Action Plan (Revised)
    Maritime Cliffs and Slopes Habitat Action Plan (Revised) Isle of Wight Biodiversity Action Plan Maritime Cliffs and Slopes Habitat Action Plan Second Review December 2007 1 Introduction Maritime cliffs and slopes have been identified as a priority habitat in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. They comprise sloping to vertical surfaces on the coastline where a break of slope is formed by slippage and/or coastal erosion. There appears to be no generally accepted definition of the minimum height or angle of slope which constitutes a cliff, but the zone defined as cliff top should extend landward to at least the limit of maritime influence (i.e. limit of salt spray deposition). On the seaward side, the plan extends to the limit of the supralittoral zone and so includes the splash zone lichens and other species of this habitat. They can broadly be classified as hard cliffs or soft cliffs, though there are intermediate types. Hard cliffs are vertical or steeply sloping, with crevices or ledges where plants can establish themselves and birds can find nest sites. They are formed of rocks which are relatively resistant to weathering, such as chalk. Soft cliffs are formed in less resistant rocks such as shales or in unconsolidated materials such as boulder clay. They are characterised by less steep slopes that gradually become vegetated. They are subject to frequent slumping and landslips, particularly where water percolates into the rock and reduces its effective shear strength. Most cliffs form at the junction of land and sea, where groundwater-driven land slippage and/or erosion by the sea have created a break in slope, but on the Isle of Wight there is also an extensive landslip zone between St Catherine’s Point and Bonchurch which has an inner cliff 500m inland rising to 140m above sea level.

  • Excursion to the Isle of Wight
    EXCUR SION TO TilE ISL E OF WIGHT. EXCURSION TO THE ISLE OF WIGHT. TH URSDAY, MARCH 26TH, TO T UESDAY, MARCH 31ST, r891. Directors: The PRESIDENT and THO~IAS LEIGHTO:-l, F.G.S. (Report hy T HE DIRECTORS, deferred from page 91.) This excursion was arranged to examine the west end and the south and south-east coasts of the Isle of Wight, tho se portions of the Island not havin g been visited by the Association since 1864. Additional interest was given to this excursion by the recent publication of the new Survey Map, and of the new edition of Bristow's Memo ir on the island by Messrs. Reid and Strahan. A large party therefore assembled, in spite of the cold, inclement weather. The President, Prof. J. F. Blake, acted as director for the Secondary, and Mr. Thomas Leighton (or the Tertiary rocks. Thursday, March 26.-The party arrived by steamer in the afternoon, and settled into quarters at the Totland Bay Hotel. Before dinner, a small but important section in the Middle Headons was visited. This section is in a gully leading to the marsh from Freshwater Church-yard, and was only recently discovered by Mr. C. Re id (Memoir, p. 139). A glance at the map will show that it is an additional link in the evidence as to the continuity of the Middle H ead ons through Totl and Bay. From the hotel the party proceeded to that part of old Fresh­ water known as School Green , and thence followed the church path across the fields.

  • The Geological History of the Isle of Wight
    *Manuscript Click here to view linked References The geological history of the Isle of Wight: an overview of the ‘diamond in 1 Britain’s geological crown’ 2 3 4 Abstract 5 6 The geology of the Isle of Wight has attracted both the amateur and professional 7 geologist alike for well over two centuries. It presents a cornucopia of things 8 geological and offers a window into the fascinating story of the geological history and 9 10 landscape development of southern England, as well as an important teaching 11 resource for all levels of study from primary education through to academic research. 12 13 This paper provides a geological framework and a summary of the history of research 14 15 as context for the papers in this issue can be placed. Inevitably, it can only offer a 16 précis of the huge amount of information available, but it is hoped will also give 17 added impetus to further investigation of the literature or, indeed, new research. 18 19 The island offers a field workshop for topics such as lithostratigraphy, sequence 20 21 stratigraphy, tectonics and climate change; studies that are becoming ever more 22 international in their influence. There are 15 Sites of Special Scientific Interest 23 designated because of their geological importance and a number of these are 24 internationally significant. 25 26 27 After a brief discussion on the concealed geology, this paper concentrates on an 28 outline of the near-surface geology on the coast and inland, and introduces a different 29 view on the structure of the Cretaceous and Palaeogene strata.
