Over time these defences have deteriorated and rusted, and prove to be a dangerous hazard for swimmers and beach users. We are now pleased to report that work to remove the Hordle Admiralty Scaffolding has been completed. Work took place during two phases in March and April 2017. These phases coincided with good spring tidal windows to allow access to the metal scaffolding at low tide. The contractors worked 19 tides in total, equivalent to more than 500 man hours. The area covered by the excavators was equivalent to just over 2.5 football pitches in size. This area extended to include all known locations of metal scaffolding, with beach material excavated, sieved and sorted to find and remove the metal. The final amount of metal scaffolding removed was almost 10 tonnes. By removing the hazardous metal scaffolding, safety for beach users has now been improved. However, despite the extensive removal works, there is still a small risk that metal may remain buried beyond the extent of the area covered. Beach users are therefore still encouraged to take care and report the location of any metal scaffolding to us if it becomes exposed in the future. Not only was metal scaffolding removed – a total of 8 mortar shells were discovered during the works, prompting attendance from the Coastguard and the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team. The removal operation was also overseen by local archaeologists. The project was completed earlier than expected due to excellent tidal and weather conditions for each phase. 3 SEAVIEW New Forest Beach Hut Owners’ Association Chairman’s Annual Report The major success of 2017 was undoubtedly the our AGM Jan Wise agreed to replace Brian for Hordle Cliff completion and hand over of the huts at Milford on and Lesley Monaghan took Sea, built to replace those damaged in the storm of over from Mary for Barton. 2014.

    !∀ #∃ % # !∀ #∃ % # &∋ # (( )∗(+,−( CCATCH – The Solent Evaluation of the Beaulieu to Calshot Pathfinder A report by Dr Anthony Gallagher and Alan Inder to Hampshire County Council February 2012 ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides an analysis and evaluation of the CCATCH – Beaulieu to Calshot Pathfinder project; the aim being to draw out the lessons learned and areas of best practice so as to inform the wider CCATCH - the Solent project, as well as the Interreg IVa funded CC2150 and Beyond. The methods employed to gather data included interviewing the key stakeholders involved in the process as well as the engagement consultants who facilitated it. This was supplemented by carrying out a public survey to gauge the project awareness and to interview the project managers of several other coastal adaptation projects, so as to enable a comparison with the work being carried out elsewhere. The results are generally very supportive of the approach taken and the tools and techniques employed during the Pathfinder, though highlighting with some clear room for improvement and consideration. On the basis that the selection of the area and the need for the project has already been established, the lessons learned relate inter alia to the application of stakeholder engagement and the commitment to implement identifiable actions; where engagement relates to its use both at the outset of the project and as a part of a developed on-going network beyond the lifetime of the funding. Commitment to following through with specific actions identified as part of the Adaptation Plan could then be implemented. In order to agree the Plan, and identify actions, it was clear that there was a need for specialist skills, and that these had been available for the Pathfinder.

  • Case Study 3D – Solent and Isle of Wight, Uk
    Archaeology, Art & Coastal Heritage: Tools to Support Coastal Management (Arch-Manche) _____________________________________________________________________________________________ CASE STUDY 3D – SOLENT AND ISLE OF WIGHT, UK Case Study Area: Solent and Isle of Wight, UK Main geomorphological types: Soft chalk and weak sandstone clifflines, coastal landslide systems, shingle and sandy beaches, tidal estuaries, dunes, saltmarsh and mudflats Main coastal change processes: Cliff erosion, coastal landsliding, beach erosion, sea flooding. Primary resources used: Art, Archaeology, historic photographs, maps and charts. Summary: The Solent and Isle of Wight coastlines are very varied and include exposed as well as sheltered frontages. They offer an excellent range of sites suitable in terms of illustrating historical coastal change processes. The area also has an extensive and unique archaeological and palaeoenvironmental record demonstrating these processes over the last 10,000 years. Recommendations: Coastal managers should use these resources when predicting future rates of erosion, they provide thousands of years’ worth of data to assist in the understanding of the rate and scale of change. Further work is required in order to model these changes across the region, combining the rich archaeological record with art, photographs and maps. Coastal managers face an ongoing battle to moderate impacts from the sea in the face of a changing climate and pressures from human use of the coastal zone. The challenges that lie ahead are forecast to increase while resources are being forced to go further. The Solent and Isle of Wight is one of six UK case study areas for the Arch-Manche project. This case study report introduces the study area and why it was chosen as part of the project, the results of the archaeological and palaeoenvironmental study are then presented along with the results of the art, photos, and maps and charts studies.

  • Hurst Spit to Lymington Project Introductory Briefing Note
    Final June 2020 Hurst Spit to Lymington Project Introductory Briefing Note Introduction The Environment Agency in partnership with New Forest District Council, Hampshire County Council and Natural England with expert support from JBA Consulting are exploring a sustainable future for the coastal frontage between Hurst Spit and Lymington in relation to flood and coastal erosion risk management. This project aims to investigate if and how to respond to the significant challenges facing this area of coastline now and into the future, and how to fund any potential works going forward. This Briefing sets out more details, and we welcome your questions and input as the project develops. This coastal frontage is located within the New Forest and extends from Milford-on- Sea in the west, encompasses Keyhaven and Pennington Marshes extending up the Lymington River to the east (see Figure 1). The Hurst Spit to Lymington coastline is characterised by large areas of low-lying coastal habitats, including mudflats, saltmarsh and vegetated shingle. The existing defences, as well as protecting local communities, protects large areas of coastal grazing marsh and coastal lagoons. The habitats and the species which can be found along this section of coast are of international importance. The rich biodiversity creates the stunning landscape, which is accompanied by cultural and historical heritage of significant status. For these reasons the area attracts substantial visitor numbers and is enjoyed by a range of recreational users, for activities such as walking, sailing and fishing. These factors along with natural coastal processes will need to be carefully considered as the project develops.

  • 5F01 Hurst Spit Summary Description of Policy Unit
    North Solent Shoreline Management Plan Policy Unit 5F01 Hurst Spit Summary description of Policy Unit The shingle barrier spit is maintained by the Local Authority on behalf of private owners, English Heritage and the County Council. There are no residential properties on the spit but this feature does provide significant flood defence and coastal protection to the extensive low-lying hinterland throughout the West Solent that comprises of residential properties, industrial, heritage and commercial assets, amenity land and facilities and agricultural land, from widespread tidal flooding. The spit and inter-tidal habitats in the lee of the spit are within the New Forest National Park and a Wildlife Trust Reserve. Keyhaven village has a small commercial fishing fleet, boat yards and sailing clubs. The spit provides important coastal access, which is limited within the West Solent. There are inter-tidal and vegetated shingle habitats of International, European and national nature conservation importance. These and areas within the nearby hinterland provide very important high tide roost sites and support the adjacent and nearby SPA/Ramsar sites. Heritage assets include Hurst Castle, Hurst Spit Lighthouse, a Scheduled Ancient Monument, historic and listed buildings, and maritime features. The spit is a popular and important recreational and amenity attraction and is part of the Solent Way.

The Cadland Estate is owned by R Drummonds Esq – large portions of this land is later sold to construction of Fawley Refinery. The trail covers areas extensively used during WW2 and for D-Day preparation and activity. An area on Badminston Common includes the holding tank area for PLUTO used during WW2 for fuel supplies. Near Mopley pond are the remains of the pump house used in the PLUTO operation. There are several remains of WW2 military installations throughout the trail area. The trail includes areas of ancient woodland at Chale Wood on path 13 and Calshot National Nature Reserves and SSSi on path 4 which is nationally important for overwintering waders and wildfowl. Indicated on the ArcGIS map is an ironworks on path 503 on the River Dark Water. There is the site of a brickworks, brick kiln and claypits on Whitefield Rough, mentioned in the 1841 census, next to clay pits to the south of this footpath. The bricks are said to have been used around Exbury and Beaulieu. Mills are indicated at Mopley and Stanswood on Taylor’s map 1759 (paths 12a and 10) although the Mills archive mentions only Stanswood watermill. There are stories of smuggling with the Mopley area being used for storage of contraband.

  • The Solent Forum Introducing the Solent Forum, the Coastalpartnership for the Solent
    Article produced for the October 2020 edition of Waternews THE SOLENT FORUM INTRODUCING THE SOLENT FORUM, THE COASTALPARTNERSHIP FOR THE SOLENT The Solent Forum is the Coastal Partnership that covers the Solent waterbody and its surrounding coasts. It is one of many such partnerships around the coast of the UK. Its area of work includes the New Forest coastline as far west as Hurst Spit, ranging to Selsey Bill in the east and the north coast of the Isle of Wight. Established in 1992, the partnership works with numerous bodies and organisations that manage the Solent to address environmental, social and economic strategic issues. Its primary goal is to collate and share information and resources on coastal issues to facilitate management. Hosted by Hampshire County Council, The Forum, has a steering group of funding partners, with an independent Chair and two staff. Its work is split into two main strands, core member services and project work. It also manages the Solent European Marine Sites Management Scheme, which coordinates relevant Authority management responses to issues arising from activities that take place across the Solent’s designated sites. New Forest District Council and the New Forest Park Authority are members of this Scheme and the Solent Forum. Core services offered to members include a biannual members half day conference, a biannual newsletter, a monthly email newsletter, opportunity workshops, for example on accessing funding streams, and the opportunity to use the Forum’s wide network for consultation, publicising work and identifying partners for projects. Recently the Forum has been involved with the Rivers Trust on a national project called ‘Wholescape Approach to Marine Management (WAAM)’.

  • Highcliffe to Hurst Spit England Coast Path: Highcliffe to Calshot - Natural England’S Proposals
    www.gov.uk/natural-england 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.
