Chapter 1: Highcliffe to Hurst Spit England Coast Path: Highcliffe to Calshot - Natural England’s Proposals

Part 1.1: Introduction

Start Point: Highcliffe (Chewton Bunny) (grid reference: 421777, 93152) End Point: Hurst Spit (grid reference: 429976, 90860) Relevant Maps: 1a to 1e

Understanding the proposals and accompanying maps:

The Trail:

1.1.1 Generally follows existing walked routes, including public rights of way, along most of this length. In some areas it is no longer possible to walk on the definitive line of the existing public rights of way due to cliff erosion; here we have proposed the most appropriate route on the ground.

1.1.2 Mainly follows the coastline quite closely and maintains good views of the sea.

1.1.3 At HCS-1-S001 to HCS-1-S020 a significant inland diversion is necessary to take the trail past the Hoburne Naish Holiday Park.

1.1.4 Is generally aligned on cliff top, promenade or pavement along most parts of this chapter.

1.1.5 Follows a route similar to the existing Solent Way, E9 European Long Distance Route and the Bournemouth Coast Path.

Protection of sensitive features:

1.1.6 This part of the coast includes the following sites, designated for nature conservation (See map C of the Overview):

 Highcliffe to Milford Cliff - Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)

We have assessed the potential impacts of access along the proposed route (and over the associated spreading room described below) on the features for which the affected land is designated and on any which are protected in their own right.

England Coast Path | Highcliffe to Calshot | Natural England’s Proposals 1.1.7 With input from specialists we have considered each of the sites involved and the relevant designations and concluded that for this section of the coast our proposals will not have a detrimental effect.

In relation to those nature conservation sites listed above, refer to our published Access and Sensitive Features Appraisal for more information.

See part 6b of the Overview - ‘Protection of sensitive features’ for a description of our overall approach and a summary of our conclusions

Accessibility:

1.1.8 Generally, there are few artificial barriers to accessibility on the proposed route, which makes use of existing surface paths wherever these meet the criteria in the Coastal Access Scheme.

However, there are places where it may not be entirely suitable for people with reduced mobility because:

 The trail in part follows uneven grass, bare soil and compacted gravel;

 There are steps where it would be necessary to cross the footbridge at Sturt Pond; however a ramp for wheel chair users is in place at the eastern side of the bridge.

1.1.9 At various locations, existing gates or stiles will be replaced or improved, so as to make them easier to use. We envisage this happening as part of the physical establishment work described in part 7 of the Overview.

See part 6a of the Overview - ‘Recreational issues’ - for more information.

Where we have proposed exercising our discretion:

The discretions referred to below are explained in more detail in the Overview.

1.1.10 Landward boundary of the coastal margin: We have used our discretion on some sections of the route to map the landward extent of the coastal margin to an adjacent physical boundary such as a fence line, pavement or track to make the extent of the new access rights clearer. See Table 1.2.1 below.

1.1.11 In a number of places we have used our discretion to propose the inclusion of additional, more extensive landward areas within the coastal margin, to secure or enhance public enjoyment of this part of the coast. The owner of this land is content for us to propose this. See table 1.2.1 below

See also part 3 of the Overview - ‘Understanding the proposals and accompanying maps’, for an explanation of the default extent of the coastal margin and how we may use our discretion to adjust the margin, either to add land or to provide clarity. See also Annex C of the Overview - ‘Excepted land categories’.

1.1.12 Restrictions and exclusions: No directions to restrict or exclude access are proposed on this length of coast. However, access rights to the spreading room would be subject to the national restrictions on coastal access rights listed in Annex D of the Overview. These restrictions would not apply to public rights of way.

See part 10 of the Overview - ‘Restrictions and exclusions’ - for details.

England Coast Path | Highcliffe to Calshot | Natural England’s Proposals Establishment and ongoing management of the trail

1.1.13 Some physical establishment of the trail would be necessary in accordance with the general approach described in part 7 the Overview. These establishment works will be minor and will include the placement of way markers and other signs along the route.

1.1.14 There are no additional measures that we consider necessary to improve the safety or convenience of the trail on this length of coast.

1.1.15 Ongoing management and maintenance would be necessary in accordance with the general approach described in part 8 of the Overview. The overall need for this is likely to be greater than on some other parts of the stretch, recognising that it will be necessary for the route to roll back from time to time in response to coastal processes, as described below.

See parts 7 - ‘Physical establishment of the trail’ and 8 - ‘Maintenance of the trail’ of the Overview for more information.

Future Change:

We are aware that certain parts of this coastline are particularly susceptible to coastal erosion. For instance within the last few months there have been land slips at Highcliffe and Milford on Sea which have necessitated the closure of an existing permissive footpath.

1.1.16 Part of the route of the trail on this length of coast would be able to change without further approval from the Secretary of State in response to coastal erosion or other geomorphological processes, or encroachment by the sea. This would happen in accordance with the criteria and procedures for ‘roll back’ set out in part 9 of the Overview. See table 1.2.1 below for details of the sections likely to be affected in the foreseeable future.

1.1.17 At the time of preparing the report, we do not foresee any other need for future changes to the access provisions proposed for the length of coast described in this chapter.

See parts 6e - ‘Coastal processes’ and 9 - ‘Future changes’ of the Overview for more information.

England Coast Path | Highcliffe to Calshot | Natural England’s Proposals Part 1.2: Commentary on Maps

See Part 3 of Overview for guidance on reading and understanding the tables below

1.2.1 Section Details – Map(s) 1a to 1e: Highcliffe to Hurst Spit

Notes on table: Column 2 – an asterisk (*) against the route section number means see also table 1.2.2: Other options considered. Column 5 – ‘Yes – normal’ means roll-back approach is likely to follow the current feature (e.g. cliff edge/beach) for the foreseeable future. Column 6a - certain specific coastal land types are included automatically in the coastal margin where they fall landward of the trail, or connect indirectly with it by touching another part of the coastal margin that itself touches the foreshore at some point.

The landowners wish to ensure Chewton Bunny, Highcliffe the security, integrity and the ’private’ status of the holiday park and lock the access gates with access only for residents. ■ We concluded that overall the proposed route struck the best balance in terms of the criteria described in chapter 4 of the Coastal Access Scheme 1a HCS-1-S001 to We considered aligning the We opted for the proposed route because: HCS-1-S020 trail on the beach below ■ We concluded that overall the proposed route struck the best Barton Cliffs and Hobourne balance in terms of the criteria described in chapter 4 of the Naish Holiday Park Coastal Access Scheme ■ Aligning along the beach would be unsuitable due to safety concerns: cut off by high tides, cliff falls, soft sand and uncomfortable and unsuitable walking ■ Under our proposals the beach would remain available for people to use as part of the spreading room, but would not form part of the designated trail. 1c HCS-1-S033 to We considered aligning the We opted for the proposed route because: HCS-1-S036 trail along the public right ■ The public right of way seaward of these sections is mostly of way, seaward of the trail lost to coastal erosion ■ The trail marked on the map follows de-facto walked routes that have migrated landward as the cliff edge has eroded ■ We concluded that overall the proposed route struck the best balance in terms of the criteria described in chapter 4 of the Coastal Access Scheme

England Coast Path | Highcliffe to Calshot | Natural England’s Proposals Part 1.3: Chapter 1 - Formal Proposals

 Below are our formal proposals to the Secretary of State for the length of coast shown on maps 1a to 1e.

 They should be read in conjunction with the relevant maps.

 The commentary above explains the practical effect of these proposals.

Formal Proposals – Highcliffe (Chewton Bunny) to Hurst Spit

Proposed route of the trail

1.3.1 In relation to route sections HCS-1-S003 to HCS-1-S020, HCS-1-S024 to HCS-1-S028 and route sections HCS-1-S048 to HCS-1-S056 the route is to be at the centre of the line shown on maps 1a to 1e as the proposed route of the trail.

1.3.2 In relation to route sections HCS-1-S001 to HCS-1-S002, route sections HCS-1-S021 to HCS-1-S023, route sections HCS-1-S029 to HCS-1-S047 the route, as initially determined at the time the report was prepared, is to be at the centre of the line shown on map 1.a to 1.d as the proposed route of the trail.

1.3.3 If at any time any part of a route section listed in the previous paragraph needs, in Natural England’s view, to change

 as a result of coastal erosion or other geomorphological processes or encroachment by the sea

 in order to link with other parts of the route that need to roll back in direct response to such changes;

In order for the overall route to remain viable, the new route for the part in question will be determined by Natural England without further reference to the Secretary of State. This will be done in accordance with the criteria and procedures described under the title ‘Future Changes’ in part 9 of the Overview and section 4.10 of the Coastal Access Scheme. If this happens, the new route will become the approved route for that section for the purposes of the Order which determines where coastal access rights apply.

Landward boundary of coastal margin

1.3.4 Adjacent to route sections HCS-1-S001 to HCS-1-S003 and HCS-1-S005, the landward boundary of the coastal margin is to coincide with the landward edge of the path shown as the trail on map 1a.

1.3.5 Adjacent to route section HCS-1-S004 the landward boundary of the coastal margin is to coincide with the slope which, at the time of writing this report, is landward of the trail shown on map 1a.

1.3.15 Adjacent to route sections HCS-1-S021 and HCS-1-S050 the landward boundary of the coastal margin is to coincide with various features as indicated by the coastal margin landward of the trail shown on map 1e.

Local restrictions and exclusions

1.3.16 At the time of writing this report, there are no proposals for local restrictions or exclusions in relation to this length of coast.

Alternative routes

1.3.17 There are no proposals for alternative routes in relation to this length of coast.
