  • The Isle of Wight in the English Landscape
    THE ISLE OF WIGHT IN THE ENGLISH LANDSCAPE: MEDIEVAL AND POST-MEDIEVAL RURAL SETTLEMENT AND LAND USE ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT HELEN VICTORIA BASFORD A study in two volumes Volume 1: Text and References Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2013 2 Copyright Statement This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. 3 4 Helen Victoria Basford The Isle of Wight in the English Landscape: Medieval and Post-Medieval Rural Settlement and Land Use Abstract The thesis is a local-scale study which aims to place the Isle of Wight in the English landscape. It examines the much discussed but problematic concept of ‘islandness’, identifying distinctive insular characteristics and determining their significance but also investigating internal landscape diversity. This is the first detailed academic study of Isle of Wight land use and settlement from the early medieval period to the nineteenth century and is fully referenced to national frameworks. The thesis utilises documentary, cartographic and archaeological evidence. It employs the techniques of historic landscape characterisation (HLC), using synoptic maps created by the author and others as tools of graphic analysis. An analysis of the Isle of Wight’s physical character and cultural roots is followed by an investigation of problems and questions associated with models of settlement and land use at various scales.

  • Isle of Wight Biodiversity Action Plan Woodland Habitat Action Plan Introduction
    Woodland Habitat Action Plan Isle of Wight Biodiversity Action Plan Woodland Habitat Action Plan Introduction This Habitat Action Plan has been prepared through consultation with a range of organisations and specialists within the Isle of Wight BAP partnership. It covers a ten-year period from 2003 - 2013, with a review in 2008. The UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) identifies a total of six native woodland types as priority habitats, of which three can be found on the Isle of Wight, namely: • wet woodland • lowland beech and yew woodland • lowland wood-pasture and parkland National Habitat Action Plans (HAPs) have been published for all priority native woodland types and a further HAP for ‘lowland mixed broadleaved woodland’ is anticipated. In addition, ‘broadleaved, mixed and yew woodland’ and ‘coniferous woodland’ are listed as broad habitat types within the UK BAP. The UK Sustainable Forestry Programme, published in 1994 as a sister document to the UK BAP, includes further policies for woodland biodiversity conservation including: • maintenance and appropriate enhancement of biodiversity in all woodlands • protection and expansion of our ancient and semi-natural woodlands • creation of new native woodlands and encouraging the planting of site-native trees and broadleaved woodlands more generally • research into methods of assessing and enhancing biodiversity in woodlands; The Isle of Wight Biodiversity Audit and Assessment (IW BAP Steering Group 2000) identifies three woodland types of importance to biodiversity on the Isle of Wight namely: • semi-natural broadleaved woodland (including ancient semi-natural woodland, recent secondary woodland and wet woods) • parkland and pasture woodland • plantation woodland This action plan seeks to ensure that national objectives for woodland biodiversity conservation identified in the UK BAP and UK Sustainable Forestry Programme are translated into effective action on the Island, taking into account local issues.
