    Historic Environment Action Plan the Undercliff

    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

    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.

This works very well with each councillor covering certain aspects of local government responsibilities, rather than area, and when one is away, the other covers, liaising with each other and the three Town and Parish Councils. I think the ward boundary should remain the same, with two ward councillors, as there are no large development proposals in the near future (as far as I am aware) which would compromise electoral equality. The three areas - Bembridge, St Helens and Brading, form a natural physical boundary, with the parish boundaries reflecting the perimeter of the Ward boundary.

    Isle of Wight Council Brownfield Land Register – Part 1 Maps - December 2018 Isle of Wight Council Brownfield Register Maps 2018 2 Isle of Wight Council Brownfield Register Maps 2018 1. Introduction 1.1. In 2017 a new duty was placed on local planning authorities to prepare, maintain and publish a register of previously developed land (brownfield land) which is suitable for residential development. The register had to be published by 31 December 2017 and should be reviewed at least once each year. 1.2. The register, known as the Brownfield Land Register comprises a standard set of information, prescribed by the Government that will be kept up-to-date, and made publicly available. The purpose of the register is to provide certainty for developers and communities and encourage investment in local areas. The registers will then be used to monitor the Government’s commitment to the delivery of brownfield sites. 1.3. The register must be kept in two parts: 1.3.1 Part 1 will include all sites which meet the definition of previously developed land1 and are 0.25 hectares or more in size or capable of accommodating at least 5 dwellings. They must also meet the Government's criteria, set out in paragraph (1) of Regulation 42 setting out that sites must be suitable, available and achievable for residential development. 1.3.2 Part 2 allows the council to select sites from Part 1 and grant Permission in Principle (PIP) for housing-led development, after undertaking necessary requirements for publicity, notification and consultation. More information can be found in the National Planning Practice Guidance 1.3.

Brayson 1 3 4 1 5 British Geological Survey, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, UK. 6 7 Abstract: 8 9 The British Geological Survey has recently re-mapped the Isle of Wight at a scale of 1:10,000. This 10 11 has added to a wealth of geological research already published. Within this paper, we highlight the 12 importance of geology to the heritage of the Isle of Wight and its impacts on everyday life. There is 13 a growing cultural awareness of the variety of landscapes and resources, the geology that underpins 14 15 them, and the need to manage and understand them in a sensitive and sustainable way. 16 ‘Geodiversity’, which collectively embraces these themes, is defined as “…the natural range 17 (diversity) of geological (rocks, minerals, fossils), geomorphological (land form, processes) and soil 18 19 features…” (Gray, 2004). This paper will focus on the geomorphological features; that is, the link 20 between geology, the landscape it influences, and the human interactions with it. Examples from the 21 Isle of Wight of the influences of geology on landscape include the landslides at Ventnor; geotourism 22 23 at The Needles, Alum Bay and various dinosaur sites; and the artificial landscapes resulting from 24 resource extraction. The geological issues and examples that we have used are some of the most 25 26 applicable to everyday life, and therefore ones that many people will be able to relate to, such as 27 geohazards (e.g.
