SOUTH HAMPS]IIRE ill IS}:ftl OF WIGHT TELEVISlbl~ SERVICE SITE TESTS& FINAL REPORT Summary Three television site tests have been carried out in the Isle of Wight ... South Hampshire area. Of these sites, one was looated on the mainland and two were on the island. Interim reports Nos. K.085 and K.085/2 isS'Ued in December 1950 and January 1951 respectively presented the results of two of the sites - one at Shornhill, South Hampshire (near~he B.BoC. station at Bartley) and one at Ruwridge Farm, Cal bourn~, Isle of Wight. ' ' Since these reports were issued a seoond site on the Island (Elm Copse f Calbourne) has been tested and thi's report oollates the results of all three sites and disousses their relative merits. It is reoommended that the stationbe'built on the Rowridge Farm Site. 1. GENERAL, It is proposed that the station on the seleoted site will' ' radiate a horizontally polarised signal on a frequency of 56.75 MC/So It will radiate a peak white power of 5 kW from an aerial, having a gain of 3 db. (relative to a half-wave dipole) on a 750' mas,t. All servioe area oontourmaps and 'field strengths quoted in ,this report refr:-r to this specifioation. A note on nEe-radiation of ,the Shornhill signal by Bartley mast" is given in Appendix I. Details of the ·three sites tested are given in Appendix: II. 11. TRANSMISSION AND MEASURING TECHNIQUE As in earlier site tests, use was ma.de ;ofa balloon to carry the transmitting aerial to a height of 600 feet above ground level. When weather conditions precluded balloon flying, use was made o·f an aerial on the top of a 110 ft. mast. The ballt~ol., aerial radiated 18 watts while the mast aerial radiated 300 watts but all measuremvnts have been corrected to comply With the transmission condi tiors· , specified in the previous paragraph.' Al though both balloon. and' mast' aerials radiated a vertioally polarised signal the field strength fer a hO:ri.zontally polarised transmission would be substantially the s~me f;1.S that measured. The field strength for a 750 ft. mast was -2 found by extrapolation of balloon height versus field strength curvE'S, the field strength being meas1L.'ed at selected points in the service area. Ali e;ignalswere .received on an. end fed dipole elevated 15 ft. above gro'und level buti:ihe field strengtlis quoted have been corrected for a~ aerial at 30 ft. above ground lev.el. A complete account 'of the transmitting and measuring technique will be found in Research Report No. K.076/2. Ill. RESULTS IU.l General The results of the three sites are shown in the fo~m of service 'area bontour maps i1;1 Figs. 1, 2 and 3.' In addit~on, the maximum, m~an and minimum field strength in the more important towns is shown in tabular form under a separate heading for each si te in Table 'I. The field. strengths indic1?_ted on the' service aren map&. of Figs. I and 2 are only average figures and the actual field strength at any giv~n point may vary over a range of ~ 10 db. from the value shown. The figures also show the limits of inter­ ference for co-channf:ll operation with Kirk 0.' Shotts .... the latter radiating a vertically polarased signal while the proposed station' radiates a, horizontally polarised signnl. ,., The interference limits have been estimated from the latest availnble data on long distance propag8,.tionon frequencies of the order concerned. Tho limits define t:te. perimeter within Which the field strength of the proposed transmitter would be 35 db. above the interfering field from Kirk 0 1 Shotts for at least 95% of the daily trnnsmission time on 90% of the days of the year. III.2 Oomparison of Sites The se,rvice nrea contour map for the Shornhill site is shown in Fig.l nnd the first three columns of Table I show the field st'rength in tl.,1e more importnnt towns. Referring to 'l'alle I, it will be seen that the industrial oentre of ?ortsmouth (1.42 mV/m) is very poorly served, while Southnmpton (31 mV /m), a torm of comparnble size ,viII htwe a field fftrength about six times in excess of thatoonsider~d necessary for an adequate servi6e. Th~s faot in itself indicates that Sho'rnhillis not a sui tp:.ble site for the proposed transmitter. The Bournemouth area, with an n.verage field strength of 1.4 mV/m, is rat::':'er poorly s-orved. Bog-nor (0 .. 47 mV/m) f':.nd Li ttlehampton (0.41 mV /m) get a fnir serv~ce, but viorthing and , Brighton; two highly populated areas, would get a totally inadoqunte signal of the order of 0.1 mV/m. Dorchester (0 .. 24 mV/m) and Weymouth (0.3 mV/m), two towns with no prospect of a service from elsewhere, will also get a poor service. On the otherhan~ the service in Winchester and Salisbury is' much better o:;han that Predicted on Map T86~ From the foregoing it was concluded that Shornhill is not a suitable site for the proposed transmitter, and that" a site on the.Isle of Wight would give ,better results. Rowridge Farm, the first site tested on the island, is higher • and better situated in relation to the densely populated areas under consideration. Referring tu Table I again it will be seen that a transmitter located here will improve the service in these areas. Southampton (7.3' mV/m) and Portsmouth (5.0 mV /m) have a 1st class service, while the field strength in Bournemouth is 3.3 mV/m ... an improvement of 3 db. over that available from Shornhill. The 0 residential areas of Brighton (0~42 mV/m) and Worthing (0.5 mV/m) will get a foair servioe, but in those parts s:ubject to industrial and heavy igni tion interferenoe, the service wioll be poor. The field strength in Sal::'sbury (0,,91 mV/m), while less than that from Shornhill, is, nevertheless, almost adequate for a town Qf its oharacter. It is of interest to note that the field strengthOin WiHchester (2.37mV/m) is slightly greater than that from ShoriiliilI (2.25 mV/m) although the distance from Rowridge is twice as great as t hat from Shornhill. It is probable that this can be aooounted for by the fact that Winchester in relation to Shprnhill" lies immediatQly behind a 350 feet hill while the path from Rowridge lies along the River It'chen valley. From the data and" re suI ts discussed it was considered that a tra'1smittQI' located at Row-ridge would give the best" service to the area under consideration. There were, however, a number of • di.fficul ties in the" way of building a l'!tation here. As a precaution, - therf'fore, a second site on the island, Elm Copse, was selected ::md the fieldstrongth measured in the most populated areas only. The service area oontours are shown in Fig.3, but it mustO be stressed , they are very sketchy on e~ooount of the lirr.i "';ed data available. From the tabulated rest:..lts, however, it will 'be seen that, with the exception of Christchurch (5.2 mV/m) and Bournemouth (4.1 mV/m) the field strength is~ess than that from R('wridg'3 si to. The difference in field strength is greatest in the more' distant towns" e.g.Shaftosbury O.41mV/m compared with 0.81 mV/m, and DorcJ.lester 0 0.45 mV/m comparod with 0.13°mV/m. The field strength in Portsmouth, 3 .. 4 mV /m, is insufficient to provide als~ ol<"ss service, "" 0 "'4- IV~ Coverage of Sou,ji..h Rants and Isle of Wight Sites in " ~lation to Existine; and Pro;eosed Tre.nsmi tters_o The map on Fig.4 ahowa the 0.25 mV/m contour of the, three $i tes under oon'siderati6n in relation to the ourresponding oontoura for Alexandra. Palace, Sutton Ooldfield, Wenvoe (st. Nioholas) an~ South Devon. Oonsidering Shornhill and Rowridge only" the area enolosed by the 0.25 mV/m oontour is almoat identioal for both sites (Rowridge '4570 aquare miles and Shornhi'll 4760 square miles). It muatbe remembered, however, that the tabulated results show, with one or two exoeptions, that the highly populated areas reoeive a better service from Rowridge, and these 0.25mV/m ~ontour maps ,ahould be used only to oonsider the general ooverage of a station in relation to other stations 0 The area enclosed by the 0.25, mV /m oontour ,for Elm Oopse cannot be assessed with any acouracycm ' aC,oount of the sketchiness of the contour, but it is evidently considerably less than that of the other sites.

Isle of Wight Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we are North revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West 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 landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • The Pattern of the Tithes in the Isle of Wight
    The Pattern of the Tithes in the Isle of Wight by THE REV. S. F. HOCKEY, O.S.B., B.A. VERYONE knows to what an extent the collection of tithes was a cause of continuous friction throughout the Middle Ages as between priest and parishioner, secular and E regular. References to tithes in the ecclesiastical records are often so abundant as to be tiresome if we have to take note of them, and may be embarrassing if we merely skate over them. We have tried in these few pages to put into some shape every reference to tithes in the Isle of Wight known to us; only towards the end of the task did the pattern at last become clear. We do not deny that a region so compact as an island affords an easier approach to the problem, for however unpredictable the course of the parish boundary, the sea offers a limit that is final. It will be seen that we have tried to trace the history of those tithes which did not reach the parish priest, from the time of their donation until, through assimila­ tion to money rents, they cease to have more than a historical link with their original purpose. It is important to remember that the Domesday record only mentions those churches which were required for the special purposes of the survey and is not concerned with tithes. We read there that at Bowcombe, Calbourne and Shalfleet there were churches, and at the same time that the abbey of Lire had six churches, but these are unspecified.

  • Isle of Wight Biodiversity Action Plan Woodland Habitat Action Plan Introduction
    Woodland Habitat Action Plan Isle of Wight Biodiversity Action Plan Woodland Habitat Action Plan Introduction This Habitat Action Plan has been prepared through consultation with a range of organisations and specialists within the Isle of Wight BAP partnership. It covers a ten-year period from 2003 - 2013, with a review in 2008. The UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) identifies a total of six native woodland types as priority habitats, of which three can be found on the Isle of Wight, namely: • wet woodland • lowland beech and yew woodland • lowland wood-pasture and parkland National Habitat Action Plans (HAPs) have been published for all priority native woodland types and a further HAP for ‘lowland mixed broadleaved woodland’ is anticipated. In addition, ‘broadleaved, mixed and yew woodland’ and ‘coniferous woodland’ are listed as broad habitat types within the UK BAP. The UK Sustainable Forestry Programme, published in 1994 as a sister document to the UK BAP, includes further policies for woodland biodiversity conservation including: • maintenance and appropriate enhancement of biodiversity in all woodlands • protection and expansion of our ancient and semi-natural woodlands • creation of new native woodlands and encouraging the planting of site-native trees and broadleaved woodlands more generally • research into methods of assessing and enhancing biodiversity in woodlands; The Isle of Wight Biodiversity Audit and Assessment (IW BAP Steering Group 2000) identifies three woodland types of importance to biodiversity on the Isle of Wight namely: • semi-natural broadleaved woodland (including ancient semi-natural woodland, recent secondary woodland and wet woods) • parkland and pasture woodland • plantation woodland This action plan seeks to ensure that national objectives for woodland biodiversity conservation identified in the UK BAP and UK Sustainable Forestry Programme are translated into effective action on the Island, taking into account local issues.

    Woodland Habitat Action Plan Isle of Wight Biodiversity Action Plan Woodland Habitat Action Plan Second Review August 2009 1 Introduction This Habitat Action Plan has been prepared through consultation with a range of organisations and specialists within the Isle of Wight BAP partnership. It was first produced in 2003 and reviewed in 2009. The UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) identifies a total of six native woodland types as priority habitats, of which three can be found on the Isle of Wight, namely: • lowland mixed deciduous woodland • wet woodland • wood-pasture and parkland The Government’s Policy for towards woodland and trees is contained within the document, Keepers of Time: A Statement of Policy for England’s Ancient and Native Woodland (2004). The Delivery Plan for the Government’s Strategy, ‘England Trees, Woods and Forests, Delivery Plan 2008-2012, includes many goals which should conserve and enhance woodland biodiversity: • maintenance and appropriate enhancement of biodiversity in all woodlands • protection and expansion of our ancient and semi-natural woodlands • creation of new native woodlands and encouraging the planting of site-native trees and broadleaved woodlands more generally • research into methods of assessing and enhancing biodiversity in woodlands; The Isle of Wight Biodiversity Audit and Assessment (IW BAP Steering Group 2000) identifies three woodland types of importance to biodiversity on the Isle of Wight namely: • semi-natural broadleaved woodland (including ancient semi-natural woodland, recent secondary woodland and wet woods) • parkland and pasture woodland • plantation woodland This action plan seeks to ensure that national objectives for woodland biodiversity conservation identified in the UK BAP and UK ETWF Delivery Plan are translated into effective action on the Island, taking into account local issues.

    m ROWRIDGE TOP BARN, ROWRIDGE LANE, CALBOURNE, NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT PO30 4HT OFFERS IN EXCESS OF £600,000 Property Description A beautiful period barn conversion located in a stunning high rural downland location with spacious secondary accommodation and superb countryside views. The property occupies an elevated position on Rowridge Down at the head of a beautiful valley in the midst of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is approached over a tarmacadem private (shared) lane approximately 1.4 miles long. It is rare to find such a quiet rural position in the middle of such wonderful walking country with superb walks available from the doorstep. The garden is bordered on three sides by open fields making for a quiet, secluded setting. Originally converted in 1986, with additional accommodation above the open-fronted garaging added around 1990, the barn provides extensive and versatile accommodation. There are plenty of original features and character with exposed stonework and a number of vaulted ceilings. Large windows and the southerly aspect provide particularly light and airy accommodation with glorious views over the spectacular surrounding countryside. The N.W. (front) elevation overlooks the garden whilst the rear (S.E.) overlooks lawned back garden and downland fields. The original barn conversion comprises four bedrooms (originally five), with the additional accommodation created above the extensive garaging currently used as a large self-contained apartment but would also lend itself to a variety of other uses including holiday lettings or a large office space. There is one neighbouring property and a nearby farm and prominent television mast.
