Isle of Wight Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we are North revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West 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 landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and knowledge. We will aim to refresh and update them periodically as new 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra information becomes available to us.

    ‘A ffitt place for any Gentleman’? GARDENS, GARDENERS AND GARDENING IN ENGLAND AND WALES, c. 1560-1660 by JILL FRANCIS A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham July 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis sets out to investigate gardens, gardeners and gardening practices in early modern England, from the mid-sixteenth century when the first horticultural manuals appeared in the English language dedicated solely to the ‘Arte’ of gardening, spanning the following century to its establishment as a subject worthy of scientific and intellectual debate by the Royal Society and a leisure pursuit worthy of the genteel. The inherently ephemeral nature of the activity of gardening has resulted thus far in this important aspect of cultural life being often overlooked by historians, but detailed examination of the early gardening manuals together with evidence gleaned from contemporary gentry manuscript collections, maps, plans and drawings has provided rare insight into both the practicalities of gardening during this period as well as into the aspirations of the early modern gardener.

Scope of the Review 3 B. Limitations and responsibilities Distribution list For action: Helen Miles, Head of Legal Services and Monitoring Officer For information: John Metcalfe, Chief Executive FINAL PwC C - 30 Back Executive summary Background and scope Outcomes Appendices Executive summary (1 of 1) Overview The replacement of the Cowes Floating Bridge is a high profile project for the Isle of Wight Council and was initially integrated with the overall project plans to deliver the regeneration of East Cowes. In order to ensure that there was a suitable level of community engagement and agreement there was a need for additional consultation on the wider regeneration of the local area. The Solent Gateways initiative, which originally included the Floating Bridge replacement, progressed more slowly than originally planned due to planning issues. Therefore the Floating Bridge project was separated out in order to secure the funding that had been identified under the Local Growth Deal. The Council therefore separated the Bridge from the East Cowes regeneration project in order to deliver the Bridge with Local Growth Deal funds. The Council duly completed the required Business Cases and secured the funding to support the Cowes Floating Bridge infrastructure development. The project progressed through specification, tender and appointment phases for the key contractors for example Naval Architects, Marine Engineers, Owners Representative etc. and infrastructure elements for example the boat itself and the slipway works.

  • Historic Environment Action Plan West Wight Chalk Downland
    Directorate of Community Services Director Sarah Mitchell Historic Environment Action Plan West Wight Chalk Downland Isle of Wight County Archaeology and Historic Environment Service October 2008 01983 823810 archaeology @iow.gov.uk Iwight.com HEAP for West Wight Chalk Downland. INTRODUCTION The West Wight Chalk Downland HEAP Area has been defined on the basis of geology, topography and historic landscape character. It forms the western half of a central chalk ridge that crosses the Isle of Wight, the eastern half having been defined as the East Wight Chalk Ridge . Another block of Chalk and Upper Greensand in the south of the Isle of Wight has been defined as the South Wight Downland . Obviously there are many similarities between these three HEAP Areas. However, each of the Areas occupies a particular geographical location and has a distinctive historic landscape character. This document identifies essential characteristics of the West Wight Chalk Downland . These include the large extent of unimproved chalk grassland, great time-depth, many archaeological features and historic settlement in the Bowcombe Valley. The Area is valued for its open access, its landscape and wide views and as a tranquil recreational area. Most of the land at the western end of this Area, from the Needles to Mottistone Down, is open access land belonging to the National Trust. Significant historic landscape features within this Area are identified within this document. The condition of these features and forces for change in the landscape are considered. Management issues are discussed and actions particularly relevant to this Area are identified from those listed in the Isle of Wight HEAP Aims, Objectives and Actions.

  • Little Budbridge, Budbridge Lane, Merstone, Isle Of
    m LITTLE BUDBRIDGE, BUDBRIDGE LANE, MERSTONE, ISLE OF WIGHT PO30 3DH GUIDE PRICE £1,545,000 A beautifully restored, 5 bedroom period country house, occupying grounds about 7.5 acres in a quiet yet accessible rural location. Restored to an exceptional standard, this small manor house is constructed largely of local stone elevations beneath hand-made clay peg tiled roofs. It is Grade II listed with origins in the 13th Century, and with a date stone from 1731. Included are the neighbouring barns and outbuildings which have consent for several holiday letting units. After a period of gentle decline the property was virtually derelict in 2013 and in 2013-15 it underwent a programme of complete renovation, extension, improvement and under the supervision of the conservation team of the Local Authority. Modern high-quality kitchen and bathroom fittings by 'Porcelanosa' have been installed to sympathetically compliment the many original period features. The finest original materials and craftsman techniques have been used and finished to a high standard. The house enjoys an elevated position within about 7.5 acres of grounds with extensive vistas across the beautiful surrounding countryside of the Arreton Valley to downland beyond. The gardens have been terraced, landscaped and enclosed in new traditional wrought-iron parkland fencing, with matching entrance gates, beyond which are lakes and a grass tennis court. The property is set beside a quiet "no through" lane within a picturesque rural location, yet is easily accessible to Newport, (4 miles) with mainland ferry links to Portsmouth 6.5 miles away at Fishbourne. Ryde School is also easily accessible about 8 miles away.

  • Neolithic & Early Bronze Age Isle of Wight
    Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Resource Assessment The Isle of Wight Ruth Waller, Isle of Wight County Archaeology and Historic Environment Service September 2006 Inheritance: The map of Mesolithic finds on the Isle of Wight shows concentrations of activity in the major river valleys as well two clusters on the north coast around the Newtown Estuary and Wooton to Quarr beaches. Although the latter is likely due to the results of a long term research project, it nevertheless shows an interaction with the river valleys and coastal areas best suited for occupation in the Mesolithic period. In the last synthesis of Neolithic evidence (Basford 1980), it was claimed that Neolithic activity appears to follow the same pattern along the three major rivers with the Western Yar activity centred in an area around the chalk gap, flint scatters along the River Medina and greensand activity along the Eastern Yar. The map of Neolithic activity today shows a much more widely dispersed pattern with clear concentrations around the river valleys, but with clusters of activity around the mouths of the four northern estuaries and along the south coast. As most of the Bronze Age remains recorded on the SMR are not securely dated, it has been difficult to divide the Early from the Late Bronze Age remains. All burial barrows and findspots have been included within this period assessment rather than the Later Bronze Age assessment. Nature of the evidence base: 235 Neolithic records on the County SMR with 202 of these being artefacts, including 77 flint or stone polished axes and four sites at which pottery has been recovered.
