It should however be noted that the larger fields in the south of the area would be more visually sensitive. Landscape Value Ecological interest of species rich hedgerows and small woodlands Moderate tranquillity due to lack of road noise except close to the B2135 Important amenity value provided by the Downs Link long distance footpath Landscape Capacity This area has a moderate-high landscape character sensitivity, with many landscape features and qualities sensitive to housing development. Together with the moderate landscape value it is considered there is only low-moderate capacity for small scale housing development. Development into the west of the area would create the appearance of any development as an incursion into the countryside. The larger open fields in the south of the area would be more visually sensitive but there may be some capacity in the two fields between Church Road and the Downs link.

This may lead to pressure for the loss of some existing areas of GI. 6.4 Mid District This area broadly covers the middle 1/3 of the District and includes the settlements of Billingshurst, Southwater, Cowfold and Partridge Green. Existing Strengths The central area of the District has strong green infrastructure provision in the east due to the presence of the High Weald AONB, but provision is more limited elsewhere. Southwater also has reasonable Green Infrastructure provision with a County park (also an SNCI) and the Downs link. Key features to note are: • The High Weald AONB, located close to the north east of Cowfold; • The Arun and Adur River valleys in the west and east respectively. These areas are important for flood attenuation, biodiversity including the Upper Arun SSSI, and recreation; • A number of Biodiversity Opportunity Areas (BOA) including the Knepp Castle estate to the south of Southwater; • The Down’s Link which passes through Partridge Green and Southwater linking the settlements to Guildford and the South coast; • Wey South Path and the Wey and Arun Canal located on the western boundary of the District and provides an important recreational resource offering canal trips and walking opportunities. The canal is also of importance from a biodiversity perspective. • Southwater Country Park Weaknesses Maps identify a gap in green infrastructure provision in the triangular area between Pulborough, Ashington and Billingshurst. The ability of the residents 13 of Partridge Green and Cowfold to easily access the wider countryside may also be limited 6.5 South of District This area covers the southern 1/3 of the District and includes the settlements of Pulborough, West Chiltington, Storrington & Sullington, Ashington, Henfield, Steyning, Bramber & Upper Beeding.
