Pagham Harbour Visitor Study 2012 PAGHAM HARBOUR VISITOR SURVEY PAGHAM HARBOUR VISITOR SURVEY PAGHAM HARBOUR VISITOR SURVEY Date: 31st August 2012 Version: Draft Recommended Citation: Cruickshanks, K. & Liley, D. (2012). Pagham Harbour Visitor Surveys. Unpublished report by Footprint Ecology. Commissioned by Chichester District Council. PAGHAM HARBOUR VISITOR SURVEY Summary This report presents the results of on-site visitor surveys of Pagham Harbour SPA. The surveys were carried out to establish how the Harbour and surrounding area is currently used by visitors for recreation during the winter and summer months. The survey was commissioned by Chichester District Council to inform the Habitat Regulations Assessment of a new Local Plan, with the issue of concern being the potential links between increased development leading to increased access and disturbance impacts to the SPA/Ramsar interest features within the harbour. The visitor surveys were conducted in January and February 2012 and were repeated in June and July 2012 to assess the level and type of visitor use at three selected locations on the western side of the harbour including the Visitor Centre, the Church Norton car park and the foot access point at Greenlease Farm. The interviews were structured to gather generic and site specific information and visitor details to help us build a picture of who, where, when and why people use the site. Each location was surveyed in two periods (winter and summer) for eight 2 hour sessions, four sessions were conducted at a weekday and on a weekend day for each location which totalled 92 visitor monitoring hours. A total of 575 visitors were recorded entering and leaving the survey locations and 273 visitor groups were interviewed (126 in winter and 147 in summer). The interview data represents the visiting patterns of 508 people and their 154 dogs. Most of the visitors to the site travelled from home (84%) and of those visitors 77% spent between 1 and 2 hours on site. In the winter, visitors spent more time at the Visitor Centre and made the shortest trips to Greenlease Farm. In the winter, most visitors stated that they visit the site equally all year (73%) compared to 43% of summer visitors. The highest number of interviews was conducted at Church Norton where the number of people recorded entering the site was 40% higher compared to Greenlease Farm. Visitor numbers were typically higher on weekend days than weekdays. Visitors undertook a relatively limited range of activities with dog walking, wildlife watching and walking as the three most popular. The highest proportion of visitors were dog walking (35%) as their main activity and a further 33% were walking and 22% were wildlife watching which together, account for 90% of the main activity responses. Wildlife watching was more popular in the winter surveys with 30% stating this as their main activity compared to 14% in the summer. Furthermore, dog walking was the main activity of 40% of interviewed visitors in the winter compared to 30% in the summer. The most popular locations for wildlife watching were the Visitor Centre in the summer and Church Norton in the winter whilst dog walking was most popular at Greenlease Farm in both survey periods. The majority of winter visitors’ choice of location was most influenced by a particular wildlife interest – usually bird watching (27% of responses) closely followed by the fact that the site is ‘close to home’ (25%). In the summer, ‘close to home’ was the most popular reason influencing the visits (45%). The main modes of transport used to access visit locations were by car/van (68%) or on foot (27%). The home postcodes of visitors were used to identify the linear distance between the survey location and the visitors home and we found 90% of winter visitors who arrived by foot lived within 2.7km of their visit location while 50% of winter visitors who arrived by car lived within 49.8km of 1 PAGHAM HARBOUR VISITOR SURVEY their visit location. In the summer survey visitors on foot travelled further with 90% living within 3.5km and only 66% of summer visitors lived within 75km. When looking at postcodes of visitors in terms of settlements, the highest proportion of local visitors lived within Selsey (38% of winter postcodes and 50% in the summer). In the winter survey only 6% lived in Chichester and this rose to 10% in the summer. Route information showed that in the winter, neither activity nor visit location had a significant effect on route length although the longest routes recorded were by cyclists and joggers. In the summer there was a significant difference in route lengths with walkers and joggers producing the longest routes compared to dog walkers and wildlife watchers. Similarly there was no difference between route lengths at the three sites in the winter survey whilst the summer survey showed that the longest routes were recorded at Greenlease Farm. We also identified that overall 33% of visitor routes strayed from the path network and crossed onto the intertidal areas. More people walk on the mudflats in the winter compared to the summer and winter visitors were most likely to remain on paths when visiting the Visitor Centre whilst visitors to Greenlease Farm were most likely to leave paths as the access point leads straight on to the beach. The route data were used to generate intensity use maps and the busiest areas were at the Visitor Centre and along the coast towards Church Norton and in the summer the higher levels of use extend along the seafront towards Selsey. 2 PAGHAM HARBOUR VISITOR SURVEY Summary: Key points Visitor numbers, patterns and activities visiting patterns: Three survey locations on the western side of the harbour were surveyed for 16 hours each (eight hours on a week day and eight hours on a weekend day) between 21st January and 4th February 2012 and this was repeated 26th June and 29th June - 1st July (96 survey hours in total). 273 groups of visitors were interviewed (126 winter, 147 summer) representing information from 508 people with 154 dogs. In total 575 visitors (272 winter and 303 summer) in 311 groups were recorded entering the site and hence interviews captured 88% of the visitors. 71% of the interviewees across both survey periods were male. The highest number of interviews was conducted at Church Norton. 42% of interviewed groups in the winter and 35% in the summer were accompanied by at least one dog. 84% (230) interviewed groups were local residents who made their visit from home (90.5% in the winter). Visitors from home made up 90% of interviewees in the winter and 79% in the summer. Holiday makers made up 19% of interviewees in the summer compared to 3% in the summer. 77% of visitors travelling from home spent less than an hour or between 1 and 2 hours at the harbour with the shortest visits taking place at Greenlease Farm. 73% of winter interviewees stated they visit the area equally all year compared to 43% in the summer. 20% of visitor groups made their trip 1-3 times per week, 16% visited most days and 8% visited daily with daily winter visitors at 13% compared to 5% in the summer. 40% of winter visitors were dog walking and the majority of dog walks take place at the Visitor Centre and Greenlease Farm. 41% of summer visitors were walking compared to 22% of winter visitors. Wildlife watching was most popular in the winter with 30% of interviewees were wildlife watching/bird watching and the majority of this activity takes place at Church Norton. 14% of summer visitors were wildlife watching. Church Norton was the busiest location with 40% more people recorded entering compared to Greenlease Farm. 27% of winter visitors stated that a particular wildlife interest and 25% stated that closeness to home was the main motivation for visiting. 45% of summer visitors stated that closeness to home was the most important reason for visiting, 70% of winter visitors and 26% of summer visitors stated that nothing could make another site attractive for them. Travel and distance to survey locations: 73% of winter visitors and 65% of summer visitors travelled to their visit location by car or van. 25% of winter visitors and 29% of summer visitors arrived by foot and 2% (winter) and 5% (summer) arrived by bicycle. The highest proportion of car visitors in the winter was recorded at Church Norton and at the Visitor Centre in the summer. 41% of visitor postcodes were within the settlement boundary of Selsey. 94% of winter visitors to Greenlease Farm lived within or south of Chichester. Visitors lived, on average, 18.9km from the location where they were surveyed on the harbour (linear distance). Wildlife watching attracts visitors from furthest afield with a median travel distance of 49.8km in the winter 3 PAGHAM HARBOUR VISITOR SURVEY and 26.1km in the summer. 75% of winter dog walkers live within 3.3km of the site and 5.4km for summer dog walkers. Ninety percent of winter visitors and 66% of summer visitors by car lived within 75km and 90% of winter visitors by foot lived within 2.7km compared to 3.5km in the summer. 61% of winter visitors on foot visit the harbour most days or daily compared to 47% in the summer. Visitor routes: The length of a visitor’s route did not vary significantly between the survey locations or between different activity types in the winter. Summer routes were shortest at the Visitor Centre and longest at Greenlease Farm. 56% of winter visitors stated that they left the paths and walked on mudflats or open beach and 42% of these visitors were accompanied by at least one dog.

To counteract falling beach levels, the Environment Agency and local authorities are increasingly resorting to “topping-up” the beaches with additional sand and shingle. Several terms are currently employed to refer to the artificial provision of extra beach material, but there is disagreement about their precise definition. For the purpose of this report, beach nourishment (or beach replenishment) is defined as the supply of material that has been dredged from the seabed or extracted from inland sand and gravel pits.

    Visiting the West Sussex countryside a guide for parents and teachers This book is the third in a series of local guides being produced by Autism and Nature. It is designed to help parents, carers and teachers in West Sussex to engage of children with autism children on the autistic spectrum with the natural environment. It should also prove useful to those living and working with adults with autism. It begins by introducing some of the benefits of nature and the countryside for children with autism. This is followed by a guide to ‘natural’ places to visit in the West Sussex countryside, which the authors believe many children with autism might enjoy. Twenty-four natural places are described, all of which are also good for wildlife. The guide concludes with a series of case stories set in West Sussex, which describe visits to the countryside by small groups of school children with autism and related conditions.

It is published on our web pages as a series of separate documents, alongside more general information about how the Coastal Access programme works: Overview This document is called the Overview. It explains the overall context for the report and includes background information which is helpful in understanding our proposals. It also provides key information concerning specific aspects of our proposals, including roll-back and access restrictions or exclusions. Please read the Overview first – in particular part 3, which includes notes to help you understand the detailed proposals and accompanying maps. Proposals Chapters 1 to 6 are called the proposals. These set out and explain the access provisions we propose for each length of coast to which they relate. Each chapter is accompanied by detailed maps of the relevant length of coast. The maps are numbered according to the part of the chapter to which they relate. For example, maps 1.a to 1.c illustrate the proposals in chapter 1.
