This Screening Statement focuses on the Site Allocations DPD and is in line with a screening opinion received from Natural England June 20091. E1.2 Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) is a requirement of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (‘the Habitats Regulations’). This HRA focuses on the likely significant effects of the Site Allocations DPD on the nature conservation interests of European-protected areas in and around Portsmouth, and seeks to establish whether or not there will be any adverse effects on the ecological integrity of these European sites as a result of proposals. E1.3 This Screening Statement addresses the earliest stages of HRA. It documents the initial evidence gathering process and states whether or not a full Appropriate Assessment is required for any part of the Site Allocations DPD (although several iterations may be produced during the screening process). E2 Scope of the Assessment E2.1 The assessment addresses the following European sites which can be found in and around Portsmouth City: Butser Hill Special Area of Conservation (SAC); River Itchen (SAC); Solent and Isle of Wight Lagoons (SAC); Solent Maritime (SAC); The New Forest (SAC); Chichester and Langstone Harbours Special Protection Area (SPA); Portsmouth Harbour (SPA); Solent and Southampton Water (SPA); The New Forest (SPA); Chichester and Langstone Harbours Ramsar site; Portsmouth Harbour (Ramsar); 1 Habitats Regulations Assessment for the Portsmouth Site Allocations DPD screening opinion. Ceri Morgan, Natural England, 24th June 2009. Policy/LG/PCC/Site. i HRA for the Portsmouth Site Allocations Development Plan Document: Screening Statement February 2013 UE-0060 Portsmouth CC Site Allocations HRA Screening_6_20130219 Solent and Southampton Water (Ramsar); and The New Forest (Ramsar). E3 Findings E3.1 Seven of the European sites within the scope of the screening assessment are negatively affected by 22 of the 59 Site Allocations and their associated proposals. The European sites are; Solent Maritime SAC, Chichester and Langstone Harbours SPA and Ramsar, Portsmouth Harbour SPA and Ramsar, and Solent and Southampton Water SPA and Ramsar. E3.2 Significant effects are considered a likely outcome of the following sites: 1 Rear of 154-192 Southampton Road, Paulsgrove 133 Highgrove Lodge 145 Alexandra Lodge, Northern Parade 149 Seb Site, Drayton Lane 199 Portsdown Main, James Callaghan Drive 209 Garages At Kendal Avenue, Copnor 367 Drayton Dairy Site 112 Station Road 646 Trafalgar Wharf (221-249 Southampton Road & Vospers Site, Hamilton Road) 653 Bus Depot And Stops, Hilsea 654 London Road Bus Depot, Car Sales/Garages And Car Park 657 Museums Store, Copnor Road 688 TA Centre, Cosham and land adjacent 911 Langstone Harbour Coastal Path 1275 Land Between Home Heights And Queens Hotel 1331 Land At Portsdown Technology Park 3007 Darby House, Skye Close 6589 East Lodge Park And Adjacent Fields 6889 Henderson Road / Halliday Crescent 8102 Two Villas, North East of St James's Hospital, Locksway Road 70028 Univeristy of Portsmouth's Langstone campus 70033 Child Development Centre/Harbour School, St James' Hospital Locksway Rd 70035 Sports Pitches, Mountbatten Cente E3.3 Of most significance, the following sites and their corresponding proposals were all classified as C1 (the proposals could directly affect a European site because they provide for, or steer, a quantity or type of development onto a European site, or adjacent to it); ii HRA for the Portsmouth Site Allocations Development Plan Document: Screening Statement February 2013 UE-0060 Portsmouth CC Site Allocations HRA Screening_6_20130219 Trafalgar Wharf (646) potentially impacts Portsmouth Harbour SPA/Ramsar. Langstone Harbour Coastal Path (911) potentially impacts Solent Maritime SAC, Chichester and Langstone Harbours SPA and Ramsar, including potential land take. University of Portsmouth’s Langstone Campus (70028) potentially impacts Solent Maritime SAC, Chichester and Langstone Harbours SPA and Ramsar. E4 Conclusions and Consultation Arrangements E4.1 At this stage of the HRA, the potential for mitigation measures to reduce the likelihood of impacts has not yet been fully assessed and brought into consideration for screening. However, mitigation of potential impacts has been recommended within the screening process and it is intended that further screening iterations can be performed for all sites once mitigating actions have been built into the proposals. Therefore, the identification or uncertainty of likely significant effects does not necessarily mean that proposals would be certain to have an adverse impact on the integrity of a European site. E4.2 The Council will undertake a detailed Appropriate Assessment of any site for which suitable mitigation cannot be devised at the screening stage, to determine the ways in which the sites may be adversely affected, and further consider suitable avoidance and mitigation measures. E4.2 The findings of this report are open to consultation with Natural England, the Environment Agency, RSPB and Hampshire Wildlife Trust. E4.3 Comments are invited at any time between March and June 2013.

    Proposed Langstone Harbour Air Base Photograph of a Short S.23 Empire flying boat that might one day have flown from Langstone Harbour. Havant History Booklet No. 57 To view, comment, and order all booklets visit: www.hhbkt.com £3 2 Proposed Langstone Harbour Air Base For some time past the Air Ministry, in conjunction with Imperial Airways have been seeking a suitable place to establish a base in this country to form the terminus for the long distance Empire and Trans-Atlantic air routes. These long distance routes are to be operated by means of flying boats rather than land planes and a number of large machines are at present being built for Imperial Airways. The Air Ministry required a site having a considerable area of sheltered water, of reasonable depth, free from obstructions to flying and in a situation not subject to fogs in order that the air liners could operate at all seasons of the year. It was also of material advantage if the site were easily accessible by road and rail from London. After considering a number of alternative sites in Ireland, on the Medway, at Southampton and Portsmouth, the Air Ministry and Imperial Airways have decided that Langstone Harbour, which is on the East side of Portsmouth, is suitable and the Portsmouth City Council are proposing to proceed with a comprehensive scheme estimated to cost about £1,200,000 for the development of the harbour as an Empire Air Base. In view of the fact that a large portion of Langstone Harbour is situated within the Urban District of Havant and Waterloo it is necessary for the County Council to consider the possible effect of the proposed scheme on the areas of the County which adjoin the harbour.

Life 3 studies in the Blackwater and Highland Water sub-catchments found that glides tend be to the most common form of flow followed by riffles and runs. Pools (still water) are noticeably rare in modified reaches being replaced by glides or runs. Pools where they occur are usually found at meander bends apices. Cascades and small water falls also occur at the faces of debris dams. Channelisation tends to affect the flow type in that it reduces the number of pools. Dominant flow types for the Highland Water and Black Water are shown in Figure 10. It is probable that a similar pattern would be found in the other river catchments. 3.4.6 Bank & bed material Bank material is made up of clay, fines, sand and gravel.
