  • Solent Nutrient Advice
    Version 2 – June 2020 Natural England SUMMARY ADVICE ON ACHIEVING NUTRIENT NEUTRALITY FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOLENT REGION SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The water environment within the Solent region is one of the most important for wildlife in the United Kingdom. There are high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus (FAQ7) input to this water environment with sound evidence that these nutrients are polluting protected sites. 1.2 Through their wastewater effluent; future developments have the potential to make these impacts worse. Nutrient neutrality is one way of ensuring that development does not add to the existing nutrient load and this provides the certainty needed to meet the legal framework (FAQ1). 1.3 This summary report sets out how to calculate nutrient neutrality for developments within Solent catchments. It is accompanied by a Frequently Asked Questions (Annex A) and links to these questions are included throughout this report. 1.4 The type and location of each development will confirm whether nutrient neutrality is needed (FAQ2). If nutrient neutrality is required, a 4 stage process can be completed, as summarised below in Figure 1. This approach focusses on developments that drain to the mains network. If the development drains to non- mains systems e.g. Package Treatment Plants (PTP) then a bespoke calculation for Stage 1 is required (FAQ3). 1.5 This methodology is based on best available scientific knowledge, and will be subject to revision as further evidence is obtained. It has been developed as a pragmatic tool however for each aspect there is a degree of uncertainty. It is our advice to local planning authorities to take a precautionary approach in line with existing legislation and case-law when addressing uncertainty and calculating nutrient budgets.

  • The Evolution of the Beaulieu Drainage-System in the Southeastern New Forest (Hampshire)
    The Evolution of the Beaulieu Drainage-system in the Southeastern New Forest (Hampshire) • ;• • •• by W. E. TREMLETT • . ABSTRACT. 'Mapping of geomorphological features arid drift deposits in the southeastern New Forest reveals that the present Beauleiu drainage-system has arisen from a large number of river-captures. An essentially eastward-flowing drainage-system towards the Southampton Water persisted, until after the 70-foot erosion cycle, and it was only in the interval between 70-foot times and 35-foot times or in the early part of the 35-fpot erosion cycle that capture by southward-flowing streams diverted the drainage towards the south coast. '.,.'_ . INTRODUCTION. ESEARCH on the evolution of the Beaulieu river-system was .undertaken, because4he extensive drift deposits of the Nature Reserve in the Matley and Denny area, south-east R of Lyndhurst (Tremlett 1961) yielded information which did not agree with published views on the evolution of the drainage-pattern (Everard 1957). It was, however, necessary to increase the area of investigation before the history of river-development could be com­ pletely understood, and mapping was extended to cover the area east of gridline 290 and south of gridline 110. The information discovered in this extension of area accords with conclusions expressed in the author's previous work—that much of the topography of this area was moulded in erosion- cycles that correspond to the 70-foot and 35-foot sea-levels recognised by Everard (1954B). Following the development of a mature valley-system in 70-foot times,-extensive sheets of gravel (some of the Higher Gravels of the Matley-Denny area1) were deposited ..within the valleys (and on the neighbouring wave-cut surface Everard 1954B, Fig.

  • The Streams of the New Forest: a Study in Drainage Evolution
    240 HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB THE STREAMS OF THE NEW FOREST: A STUDY IN DRAINAGE EVOLUTION By C. E. EVERARD, M.SC. Introduction. HE area to be discussed in this paper is somewhat larger than that ordinarily known as the New Forest. It extends from Tthe Solent northwards to the River Blackwater, and from the Avon eastwards to Southampton Water. The superficial gravel deposits of the New Forest have been the subject of much detailed morphological analysis in recent years {1, 2, 4, 5), and it has been shown that two ' flights' of gravel terraces exist (Figure 2), the larger descending southwards from. the summit area of Black Bush Plain (420ft. O.D.) towards the Solent, and the other flanking the Avon valley. These terraces mark the main pauses in the uplift of the area from its low level in the late Pliocene and since that time the landforms and drainage pattern have been evolving concurrently, under the influence of the intermittently-falling base-level. The gravel-terrace stages make it possible to trace the former courses of the Rivers Avon and ' Solent n across the New Forest and also the shore-lines of the estuaries which partly replaced them in the southern part of the area. The present New Forest streams are the much modified descendants of the tributaries of these major drainage channels. * The tributaries were, in many cases, too small to produce terraces, but two lines of evidence may be followed in attempting to re­ construct their former courses. Firstly, the development of the tributaries is intimately connected with that of the major arteries, and much is already known about the evolution of the latter.
