These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • Manhood Peninsula
    Overall Character THE WEST SUSSEX LANDSCAPE Land Management Guidelines This Character Area lies in the south west of the county, to the south of Chichester, between the harbours of Chichester and Pagham. A large part of this area has been reclaimed from the sea, and remains below the current high spring tide level. It is mainly flat open landscape, dominated by highly productive large arable fields and modern farm buildings and characterised by a decline in tree and hedgerow cover and loss of grassland habitats. Habitation is predominantly in scattered small traditional settlements and larger suburban villages. Areas of unimproved grassland still exist along the edges of streams and rifes which are often immediately bordered by reed beds. Sheet SC2 In contrast, some parts have a patchwork of smaller enclosed pastures and horse paddocks which have a more intimate character. Parkland tree belts remaining from former estates are an occasional feature and there are significant clusters of glasshouses in the Sidlesham area. Manhood Key Characteristics G Large scale arable farming with large, often hedgeless fields. G Mainly low-lying flat landform. G Extensive farms with both traditional and modern farm buildings and silos. Peninsula G Pockets of small enclosed pasture fields and horse paddocks. G Industry in the countryside mainly associated with horticulture, resulting in large expanses of South Coast Plain G Linear villages. glasshouses. G G Narrow, right-angled or winding lanes. Scattered vernacular villages with mixed building materials, often flint, brick, half timber and stone, often with sprawling modern fringes. G Occasional views from the land of the water, or of yacht masts.

  • To Tread Lightly on the Earth and Reduce the Environmental Load in My Local Community
    Sidlesham Litter Pickers – the results of litter picking around my village in West Sussex, UK Conference for Global Transformation 2021, Landmark Education – Measuring Accomplishment by Gayle Palmer My global commitment: To tread lightly on the Earth and reduce the environmental load in my local community. Sidlesham is the largest Parish in West Sussex and wholly rural 17.53 km2 (6.77 sq mi). It is on the Manhood Peninsula, five kilometres (3 miles) south of Chichester in the Chichester District of West Sussex, England. It has a population of under 2,000 in just 448 households. It has one main road going through it from Chichester to the small town of Selsey and various small lanes which cross the Peninsula. Primarily agricultural, it also has a large horticultural use and it bounded by two harbours (both SSSI’s, AONB’s (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and of National importance for their flora and fauna). In 46AD the Romans landed in Pagham Harbour and the Saxon Aella landed along the Keynor rife near the site of the present village school in 477AD. St Wilfred is considered to have landed in Pagham Harbour at Church Norton. Street End Lane follows the line of a Roman Road and there are the remains of a Roman villa at Bird Pond. Sidlesham is recorded in the Domesday Book and the Normans built part of the present church in 1200AD. https://www.sidlesham.org/about/sidlesham-history/ I began litter picking in 2017 after my standard poodle had several cut paws, in March 2018 I started to measure what I collected as the amounts were shocking! To keep track I started the Facebook group #SidleshamLitterPickers.
