METHOD STATEMENT 1.1 Hankinson Duckett Associates (HDA) was commissioned by Adur and Worthing Borough Councils Introducton to undertaking a Landscape and Ecology Study of eight Greenfield sites which have been promoted 2.1 The approach to this study followed best practice promoted by Natural England, as set out in the through Worthing’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). Landscape Character Assessment Guidance for England and Scotland (2002) and Topic Paper 6, and reaffirmed by Natural England’s 2014 ‘An Approach to Landscape Character Assessment’. 1.2 The Landscape and Ecology Study will form part of the evidence base for the emerging Worthing Local Plan, which will include a range of studies informing which sites should be included as housing Stage : Desk Study/Revew allocations within the Local Plan. Landscape and vsual 2.2 Baseline data has been be collated in a Geographical Information System (GIS) and analysed and Background mapped for each of the 8 Greenfield Sites, in order to identify existing landscape features, views 1.3 With a recently increased housing target, there is considerable pressure to identify sites suitable and the main elements which contribute to the character, structure and setting of each site. for development within Worthing Borough.

These maps indicate the sensitive and value context to the sites, but also accord with the detailed assessments of each site carried out in Stage 3.

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.
