DESCRIPTION Integrated Key Characteristics: • Inter-tidal shoreline occurring at the base of the steep chalk cliffs where the South Downs meet the sea. • Characterised by flint shingle beaches, formed from erosion of chalk to reveal flint nodules that are eroded into pebbles. • Chalk rubble, resulting from cliff falls, forms spits of land that extend into the sea. • A dynamic and continually changing landscape featuring constant erosion and re- stocking of the beaches. • An exposed, wild landscape which is open to the elements and whose character is governed by the weather. • Engineered solutions to coastal erosion, sometimes extensive, such as wooden or concrete groynes and concrete retaining structures. • Coastal features such as lighthouses, associated with coastal navigation, and anti- invasion defences. • Extensive views out across the sea to the horizon.

  • Landslides at Beachy Head, Sussex
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by NERC Open Research Archive Landslides at Beachy Head, Sussex Beachy Head (Figures 1 and 2) is a famous natural and historic site and tourist attraction on the south coast. The cliff top area is part of the Downland Country Park managed by Eastbourne District Council. The section of cliff surveyed at Beachy Head is situated to the east of the modern lighthouse. The survey spans a 400 m south-facing stretch of beach with a cliff height of between 120 and 160 m. Figure 1 Cliffs and lighthouse at Beachy Head Figure 2 Field sketch at Beachy Head As part of a programme of work monitoring coastal erosion and landsliding at several sites around the coast of Great Britain, BGS has surveyed the cliffs at Beachy Head in Sussex using terrestrial LiDAR — see Terrestrial LiDAR Survey Techniques Geology The geology of the cliffs at Beachy Head consist of Cretaceous chalk comprising the Seaford Chalk and Lewes Nodular Chalk formations (formerly called the Upper Chalk Formation) overlying the New Pit Chalk Formation (formerly part of the Middle Chalk). The New Pit Chalk Formation (Turonian) in the lower part of the cliff is largely obscured by chalk debris. This is principally blocky, white firm to moderately hard chalk with numerous marls. Flint occurs sporadically or in seams in different part of the formation. Overlying the New Pit Chalk Formation is the Lewes Nodular Chalk Formation, which is Turonian to Coniacian in age. This consists of hard nodular chalk and chalkstone, which is locally porcellaneous.

  • Reserve News April 2018
    Reserve News April 2018 Signs of spring - Blackcaps and chiffchaffs are out in force singing. Wild daffodils at West Dean woods have made a good show, but bluebells have been slow to come into flower this year, but will be looking good by the end of the month. Barry Lindfield, a lovely regular volunteer for Tuesday hit squad for the past twelve years has stepped down from active duties. We would like to thank him, and all our other long-serving volunteers, for their help over the years. A new volunteer Sunday group at Ditchling Beacon has made a good start with scrub removal and they are trialling the best method for using new tree poppers on steep slopes. An accidental heathland burn at Iping Common at the end of February, caused by a scrub-burning fire which got out of control, has generated some local and well-publicised concerns. SWT are reviewing the procedures for managing bonfires on the reserves and will ensure that best practice will be followed in the future, especially important at this difficult time of year. Despite the initial visual impact, the outcome of the burn has also been positive, as much of the burnt area will now regenerate with fresh growth and improve the habitat for many years to come. Looking to volunteer with us? Please check the web site to find out where we are currently look for volunteers to get involved and then register your interest by completing our registration form, specifying which reserve or project you are interested in https://sussexwildlifetrust.org.uk/get- involved/volunteer/volunteer-registration-form If you would like an informal chat about what is happening locally and how you could get involved at your local reserve please contact the reserve or project lead listed below.

  • Hassocks Neighbourhood Plan Responses Summary
    Hassocks Neighbourhood Plan - Summary of Representations Ref# Cmt# Respondent Organisation Behalf Of Policy Page Type 38 1 Mr G H Marples Comments I have been a resident of Hassocks for over 40 years, have lived at the above address for the past two and a half and been a ward member for Hassocks on Mid Sussex District Council since 2003. I declare a prejudicial interest in respect of Site 4 in the draft plan as it backs on to the rear of my garden. As the Plan links site 4 to site 13 (Clayton Mills) I think I should declare an interest in the latter as well, even though it does not directly affect me and I would not normally have declared an interest in it. I support the inclusion of some of the sites proposed, recognising local housing need and the popularity of Hassocks with its sense of community, good schools and rail transport links. Roads are already congested but are probably no worse than many places. This is the price we pay for modern living, prosperity and high dependence on private cars. My comments on those sites which, for me, raise concerns are as follows: Land around Friars Oak, Sites 9 and 16. Until recently, I lived for over 40 years within half a mile of these sites. There is a “hybrid” planning application for circa 120 houses in this area currently being assessed but I support the draft plan’s recommendation that it should be designated as a Local Green Space for several reasons. In no order of significance, I have already expressed concerns about vehicular access to the proposed site off the A273 and the additional air quality issues the resultant traffic would create at Stonepound Crossroads, a short distance to the south.
