LANDSCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT

Character Area: Bordering Character Area 11A: West Facing Open Farmland; and Character Area 11B: Intermediate Sloping Farmland.

Quality: This is a diverse attractive landscape on the south-west edge of the . Detractors do exist, particularly in the southern part of this character area. The A63 Dual Carriageway is a detractor and development along its corridor has resulted in the loss of key landscape features and fragmentation of landscape pattern. Landscape quality of the Landscape Character Area 11A West Facing Open Farmland, is assessed to be high. For the remainder of this landscape character type it is assessed to be good due to the presence of detractors and the influence of the urban edge of Elloughton in an otherwise high quality landscape.

Capacity: This landscape type is elevated with views over it from the higher chalk slopes of the Yorkshire Wolds to the east and views up to it from the lower Humberhead levels to the west. It is a transitional landscape between the Wolds and the Humberhead Levels and has historic importance. Development along the southern slopes has already impacted on the rural character of the area. The capacity of the landscape to accept new development that would not result in the further amalgamation of settlements is low. The southern part of this character type is also an important approach to the city of Hull and further urbanisation along this corridor would impact on the setting of the city. The northern Jurassic Hills Farmland around Sancton, , Hotham and so far retains its rural character. Views of features such as churches e.g. North Ferriby Parish Church and parkland are important to the strength of character and local distinctiveness.

Sensitivity: This rising landscape type has high sensitivity to development that would be viewed against the skyline as this would detract from the characteristic landform. The landscape has a greater capacity to accept small scale development that respects current landscape pattern, vernacular and views and that implements appropriate mitigation measures. These would include woodland and tree planting.
