7. Objectives & Action Plan
Introduction and SWOT Analysis An analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT Analysis) was carried out for the Manhood Peninsula Destination Management Plan (2011), following public consultation workshops and an analysis of key policy documents. Towards ICZM required further expansion of the SWOT Analysis to include reference to affordable housing, and businesses such as horticulture. The revised SWOT can be found in Appendix 4: SWOT Analysis. The following list is a summary of the SWOT Analysis in Appendix 4.
S. The main strengths of the peninsula were found to be the natural environment, the coastal landscapes, the opportunities for year round tourism and proximity to other centres of interest such as Chichester or the South Downs.
W. Weaknesses were perceived as lack of awareness of human impacts on the natural environment, poor infrastructure particularly roads, lack of visitor facilities, lack of accommodation, and lack of a plan for the Manhood Peninsula.
O. There are opportunities to help the tourism and leisure industries expand by providing better cross-peninsula links for horse riding, cycling and walking. Improved facilities for beach users and the opportunity to build housing able to accommodate the consequences of climate change were also noted.
T. External threats were perceived as increased visitor numbers impacting the natural environment and problems associated with being a peninsula such as road infrastructure and traffic congestion. A coherent policy concerning visitor facilities such as showers and toilets was felt to be lacking on the peninsula.
Although a number of weaknesses and threats were identified, they were far outweighed by the opportunities offered by the peninsula. External threats however, must not be underestimated in terms of their potential impact.
Action Plan The findings of the SWOT Analysis are reflected in the projects and aspirations suggested in the following Action Plan. The sections in the Action Plan originated in the Sustainable Community Strategy, while the content was derived from Parish Plans, Village Design Statements, Conservation Area Character Appraisals, Going Dutch on The Manhood Peninsula, Going Dutch II, Medmerry Aspirations, Sustrans access links and others.
Timescales Action planning focused on short to medium term actions that ensure that the peninsula is prepared for change, or that influence the local planning authority to ensure that climate change is integrated into spatial development policies. The following timescales were used in the action planning tables:
SHORT: Within 1 year MEDIUM: Between 1 and 5 years LONG: 5 years plus
Regions of Interest The following map shows the study area and regions of interest as reflected in the action plan.

The table above shows the location of individual projects proposed by the Selsey East Beach Regeneration scheme, Selsey Coastal Trust Pre-Trust Group (SCT), RSPB, the Foreshores Management Plan and other groups.
The local preference is to retain the natural ambience of the peninsula. However Village Design statements indicate restricted development would be considered appropriate around the existing towns and villages shown above, particularly in relation to affordable housing and small new business start-up.
Links between Chichester and Pagham Harbours, and the realignment scheme at Medmerry are considered of great importance. The map shows existing cycle routes in the east and west of the peninsula, and the location of the proposed links round the Medmerry realignment. Also shown are the proposed routes across the peninsula being considered by Sustrans and the Manhood Greenways Project. Quiet country roads running across the heart of the peninsula link many of the proposed routes.

7.4.2 Apuldram and Dell Quay The Manhood Peninsula’s top rated hotel can be found in Apuldram. The business has grown significantly in the last ten years, and is renowned for its restaurant. The community also hosts one of England’s premier Blues festivals as well as an Autumn Beer and Music Festival. Pumpbottom Cider Farm produces cider and apple juice from locally grown apples. Dell Quay is a traditional sailing/boat building village situated a little off the Salterns Way cycle route.

7.4.4 Chichester Harbour AONB The Chichester Harbour AONB includes a number of villages, not all of whom have established individual Village Design Statements or Parish Plans, and who have not yet been included within a Conservation Area Character Appraisal. The AONB is therefore considered a neighbourhood within the Towards ICZM document, and particular consideration must be given to the points upheld in the Chichester Harbour AONB Management Plan 2009-2014. More information about Chichester Harbour AONB can be found in section 7.2 Environment due to its designation as an AONB.

7.4.10 Selsey The charm of Selsey arises from its unique location at the tip of the Manhood Peninsula. Enclosed by water on two sides Selsey is an old- fashioned British seaside/fishing/holiday village, with stunning sea views of the Isle of Wight and the busy Solent. Selsey is home to the award- winning Bunn Leisure Enterprise and salad producer Nature’s Way. It is also home to one of the few remaining fishing ‘fleets’ on the south coast, supplying the Crab & Lobster brand of fish and seafood to leading London restaurants. Known as a popular location for divers, bird watchers and astronomers, its most famous resident is Sir Patrick Moore.
The objectives and recommendations below are taken from the Selsey Conservation Area Character Appraisal 2006, the Pagham Harbour Local Nature Reserve Management Plan 2007 and the Selsey Community Plan 2011 (in progress). Also included are recommendations from the Selsey East Beach Regeneration Scheme 2009, and the South Coast Design Forum on behalf of the Selsey Coastal Trust Project.

Sidlesham is in the Rural Area and therefore doesn’t have a Settlement Policy area, however it is subject to restricted policies (see policy RE1) saved from the Chichester District Local Plan Review 1999.

Sidlesham Parish Council has expressed opposition to any further significant development in Selsey because of their concerns about the safety and well being of parishioners from the amount of traffic movement per day using the B2145. The Highways authorities have stated that they are unable to improve the safety of this narrow main road running through the heart of the parish as the properties on either side of the road preclude any widening of the carriageway to allow for any safety improvements such as central crossing points. The Parish Council has a long-term aspiration for a bypass round the main residential areas of the parish. Sidlesham Parish Council has also expressed strong opposition to any ‘hub’ built to the north of the parish if this would result in a further potential increase in traffic unless a bypass was also provided (see 6.10 para 7).

7.5.3 Bridleways, Cyclepaths and Footpaths Schemes to deliver wider public access on the Manhood Peninsula were considered by Chichester Canal Trust, Chichester District Council, Countryside Access Forum for West Sussex (CAFWS), Environment Agency (EA), RSPB, Selsey Coastal Trust (Pre Trust Group), the Manhood Peninsula Greenways Project, Sustrans and West Sussex County Council (WSCC). It was recognised that the value of wider access opportunities within the Medmerry scheme would be better realised if a feeder network of paths could be created elsewhere and more widely on the Manhood Peninsula. These concepts are explored in Sections 7.5.3 Bridleways, Cyclepaths and Footpaths, and 7.5.4 Medmerry Access.

Appendix 3: SP14 ICZM Strategy for the Manhood Peninsula
Much of the Manhood Peninsula is at risk from coastal erosion and flooding; land drainage is problematic and these issues will need to be better understood, managed and mitigated in the face of climate change. Across the peninsula, there is a need to balance change as a result of development with the necessity to protect the unique character of the area.
As with many places, many organisations “plan” for the area but there is a greater requirement in the Manhood – and a greater opportunity – to plan better together to achieve closer policy alignment and coordinated projects. Past achievements in joint working between public bodies and local communities include the “Going Dutch” initiatives and the ESPACE project, which have been internationally recognised.
The preferred strategy for the peninsula is one of integrated management. This approach would coordinate the many different interests involved in planning, managing and using both the land and marine components of the coastal area. It would bring together different policies, decision making structures and coastal stakeholders to encourage concerted action towards common goals. This approach is known as “Integrated Coastal Zone Management” (ICZM). Its general principles are: • A long term view • A broad holistic approach involving local communities and relevant organisations • Adaptive management • Working with natural processes • Support and involvement of all relevant administrative bodies • Use of a combination of instruments • Participatory planning • Reflecting local characteristics
Many other policies in this Core Strategy address the needs and requirements of the Manhood area, its people, its activities and places.
Employment on the peninsula is mainly in tourism, agriculture and horticulture, boat building and the service sector. Fisheries play a relatively small but iconic role. The area attracts large numbers of visitors over the course of a short summer season, with noticeably less off- season visitors. Promoting sustainable tourist activities and achieving a better spread of visits throughout the season could produce benefits across the area.
At the southern tip is Selsey, the largest settlement on the peninsula. Many visitors are attracted to the local caravan parks, the largest economic generator in the area. Although popular with tourists, parts of Selsey are in need of regeneration.
The beaches around West Wittering attract a large number of tourists during the summer months, and provide a major focus for water-based activities, including surfing and scuba diving. The west side of the Peninsula is Chichester Harbour AONB and East Head, a small but significant mobile sand and shingle spit. Chichester and Pagham Harbours are important for wildlife with many statutory designations (see Policy SP13).
The proposed managed realignment area of Medmerry lies immediately west of Selsey. The proposals will provide sustainable long-term coastal defences and will create significant new intertidal habitat, such as salt marsh. There is potential to link Medmerry to Pagham Harbour with enhanced visitor facilities.
115 Towards ICZM - FINAL
Taken together, the Harbours and Medmerry plus a growing network of quiet roads and off- road footpaths, cycle ways and bridlepaths offer major potential for peaceful enjoyment of the Manhood area.
Policy SP14 - Integrated Coastal Zone Management Strategy for the Manhood Peninsula
The Council will prepare plans, strategies, projects and other measures, in partnership with other organisations and local communities, to ensure that the Manhood area is planned for in a coordinated and integrated manner, whilst recognising the individual needs of the communities which populate the area.
Subject to the other policies in this Strategy, development in the Manhood Peninsula will, in principle, be supported providing it contributes to one or more of these outcomes: (i) Facilitates the economic and social well-being of the area; (ii) Addresses proposals for the coastline and coastal communities set out in Coastal Defence Strategies and Shoreline Management Plans; (iii) Contributes to greater safeguarding of property from flooding or erosion and/or enables the area and pattern of development to adapt to change, including the relocation of current settlement areas, and vulnerable facilities and infrastructure that might be directly affected by the consequences of climate change; (iv) Provides resources to improve the process of harbour and coastal management, incorporating and integrating social, recreational, economic, physical and environmental issues and actions; (v) Improves infrastructure to support sustainable modes of transport, especially cycle ways, bridle paths and footpaths; (vi) Provides the means of supporting regeneration on the Manhood Peninsula.

Appendix 4: SWOT Analysis
Introduction and SWOT Analysis SWOT analysis is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture. It involves specifying the objective of the project and identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieve that objective.
• Strengths: characteristics of the area that give it an advantage over others. • Weaknesses: characteristics that place the area at a disadvantage relative to others. • Opportunities: external chances to make greater improvements to the area. • Threats: external elements in the environment that could have a negative impact on the area.

Appendix 5: Acknowledgements
Towards ICZM was written for the Manhood Peninsula Partnership using data from a number of sources. The most important of these were the Village Design Statements, Parish Plans and other documents produced by the Parish Councils on the Manhood Peninsula and other local organisations such the Itchenor Society, and Chichester Harbour Conservancy. Without these trail-blazing efforts that provided a backbone for the document, Towards ICZM could not have reached this point so thoroughly or so swiftly.
Towards ICZM was originally written and compiled by Jane Cunningham, Coastal Officer for the Chichester Coastal Change Pathfinder Project. The document was then extensively reviewed and edited by the ICZM Working Group, the Manhood Peninsula Partnership sub- group concerned with the Integrated Coastal Zone Management element of the Pathfinder project. Chichester District Council received funding for the project from Defra. The Manhood Peninsula Partnership was the executive body for this element of the project. Parishes on the peninsula provided further input at the consultation stage.
