Pevensey Levels Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their 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 East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • Potential Loss of B1/B2/B8 Commercial Space Due to Proposed 2 Runway. Options at London Gatwick Airport
    Potential Loss of B1/B2/B8 Commercial nd Space Due To Proposed 2 Runway. Options At London Gatwick Airport. 4 201 May Rosemary French Executive Director Gatwick Diamond 46 Basepoint Metcalf Way Crawley West Sussex RH11 7XX BRIEF Gatwick Airport Ltd (GAL) have recently published their ‘Second Runway Option’ consultation document detailing three options for additional runway capacity ahead of the Taylor commission that is due to report its recommendation on runway capacity in the South East in July 2015. Options two and three require similar land take as identified in the copy plan attached to this report. The report identifies in terms of land take for option three some 577 hectares of additional land of which some 34.9 hectares is employment land. What the report does not identify is the quantum of commercial accommodation that would be lost. Stiles Harold Williams have been instructed by The Gatwick Diamond Initiative to provide a report detailing the loss of commercial space (B1/B2 & B8 use) should the proposed second runway at Gatwick airport go-ahead. We have sourced the indicative plans from the consultation pack of the proposed land grab and report our findings as follows. METHODOLOGY Initially we identified buildings and estates located within the proposed boundary of option three utilising plans from the consultation publications. This was then verified and checked with site visits. Once a list of all affected B1/B2 & B8 property had been identified, these were then checked against the VOA Database to source the size of each site. N.B. Area’s were taken from the most recent entry to the VOA database.
