  • Landscape Sensitivity Appraisal New Alresford
    WINCHESTER DISTRICT LOCAL PLAN PART 2 LANDSCAPE SENSITIVITY APPRAISAL NEW ALRESFORD This appraisal has been prepared with reference to Hampshire County Council’s guidance document ‘Assessing Landscape Sensitivity at a Strategic Level’ (2006) which recognises the use of Landscape Character Assessments to inform land use and land management policy and, in addition, the need to assess the main attributes of landscape as a basis for gauging sensitivity. The approach in this guidance document does not try to place a value on different landscapes, nor does it seek to establish the capacity of landscape to accommodate development. In addition, this appraisal is based on published Winchester City and Hampshire County Council documents on landscape character and type; physical constraints identified through a desk top exercise; and professional judgement from site visits. A more detailed landscape assessment may be required prior to the final identification and allocation of sites for development. _________________________________________________________ CONTENTS Page 1.0 Landscape and Townscape Character and Types 2 1.1 Landscape Character 1.2 Townscape Character 1.3 Landscape Type 2.0 Landscape Sensitivity 4 2.1 Physical landscape 2.2 Experiential / Perceptual 2.3 Historic Environment 2.4 Biodiversity 2.5 Visibility 3.0 Sensitivity Appraisals 7 3.1 Area east of Sun Lane 3.2 Area within Arlebury Park 3.3 Area west of Drove Lane 3.4 Area adjacent Spring Gardens 4.0 Summary of Key Landscape and Townscape Issues 10 Appendix 1 Visibility Constraints Map Appendix 2 Landscape Sensitivity Map New Alresford Landscape Sensitivity Appraisal November 2013 1 1.0 LANDSCAPE AND TOWNSCAPE CHARACTER AND TYPES Reference: County level 1 Landscape and Townscape Character Areas which identify key characteristics, qualities and forces for change: - New Alresford and areas to north and west: Itchen Valley 3c.

The open views are punctuated by tree belts and occasional small copses found alongside the ditches and streams. 4.39 At the southern end of the character area, the elevated M27 cuts through at the edge. To the west lies Southampton Airport. The sight and sound of the motorway traffic and airport aircraft dominate the character. The elevated railway cuts through the northern edge. The southern edge of the boundary roughly conforms to the boundary of the special area of conservation. 4.40 A large section of this area is occupied by the Itchen Valley Country Park which runs up to the railway embankment in north. The park is made up of water meadows associated with the River Itchen, woodland and meadows. The river meanders through the centre of the park with a network of small streams diffusing out. The Itchen Navigation runs through the area to the west of the river. The floodplain is so wide that there is virtually no sense of being in a valley, except at the area’s eastern edge. A more dominant characteristic is the great visual interest provided in foreground views by wetland vegetation, the river itself and the earthworks of the former flood meadows.
