  • Landscape Sensitivity Assessment 23 February 2017 Landscape Character Area 9 - Ashurst Wooded Farmland
    5 Sub-area Assessments Ashurst Wooded Farmland Landscape Sensitivity Assessment 23 February 2017 Landscape Character Area 9 - Ashurst Wooded Farmland 24 Character Area 9 - Ashurst Wooded Farmland Sub-Area As1 Representative views Looking south-east, adjacent to the settlement edge, towards Park Farm and the water tower. 25 Character Area 9 - Ashurst Wooded Farmland Sub-Area As1 Description Area (Ha) - 86.7 The sub area comprises land to the south-west of Langton Green on the flat ridge-top to either side of the A264 Langton Road. A distinct change in topography at the crest of the River Grom valley marks the southern edge of the sub-area, whilst a transition to an area with a stronger parkland character and greater wooded enclosure defines the northern edge. To the west the study area extends almost to Newpark Wood. There are several isolated farmsteads and houses within the sub-area, and a prominent water tower close to the settlement edge on the main road. All of the sub-area aside from the field immediately adjacent to the Limits to Built Development on the edge of Langton Green, lies within the High Weald AONB. Assessment criterion Sensitivity description Physical character The landform in this area is relatively flat, consistent with the adjacent urban area of Langton Green. There are no strong sensitivities associated with landscape elements, but the well-treed hedgerows that divide the fields have landscape value and the isolated field trees and small woodland blocks on the northern edge of the sub-area hint at the parkland character which is more evident to the north in sub-area As3.
