One clause seemed directly written to me - the President was “not ex- pected to be expert in all the fields covered by the various sections." As most of you will know, unlike past Presidents who have been specialists, I am very much an ordinary member with a general interest in natural history and archaeology, but my membership over many years has widened my knowledge and kept up a spirit of inquiry. With this in mind last May I joined the general meeting exploring the ground around the glass- houses of Wight Salads, somewhere completely new to me. It proved to be two hours of continuous in- terest as we wandered by the new lakes created from the water used in the hydroponic growing system. With experts in identifying grasses, mosses, flowers, birds all to hand, and all more than willing to point out, identify and explain when I asked any question. It was a real illustration of teaching and learning in the best way.

It follows closely the advice and guidance provided by the UK Government and has been prepared to meet the relevant requirements outlined within the NPPG Table ‘The Strategic Environmental Assessment Regulations requirements checklist’. Following the five week consultation period (6th May 2015 to 11th June 2015), comments from consultees have been considered and the information in this report has been amended, as appropriate, in advance of its use during the next stages of the SA process. The next stage of the SA process (Stage B) involves testing the policy options for revising the AAPs against the SA Objectives, and then predicting and evaluating the effects of the options as they develop. This appraisal will seek to demonstrate the sustainability strengths and weaknesses of the policy options reviewed and, based on this appraisal, will consider ways of mitigating adverse effects and maximising beneficial effects.

    PAPER E Purpose: For Decision Committee EXECUTIVE Date 15 SEPTEMBER 2015 Title EXCHANGE OF LAND TO ENABLE A HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT SCHEME AT UNDERCLIFF DRIVE, ST LAWRENCE, VENTNOR Report to LEADER OF THE COUNCIL AND EXECUTIVE MEMBER FOR CHILDRENS SERVICES AND LEAD MEMBER FOR RESOURCES AND THE MEMBER FOR PUBLIC HEALTH, PUBLIC PROTECTION AND PFI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. This report seeks approval for the council to exchange freehold land with the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust to deliver a road improvement scheme at Undercliff Drive, St Lawrence. 2. The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust (the trust) owns woodland on Undercliff Drive, St Lawrence, which the council needs control of to construct part of a new road following a landslip in 2014. After looking at various options the trust has agreed to transfer this land to the council in exchange for council owned land at Alverstone Mead, Sandown. 3. The completed works at Undercliff Drive will enable affected residents to regain access to their properties, and for the public to use part of the route as a green way. BACKGROUND 4. In February 2014 heavy rainfall contributed to a landslip at Undercliff Drive, St Lawrence, which resulted in closure of the road and nine residents losing access to their homes. 5. Since then, the council has been working towards a solution to ensure affected residents regain access to their properties, and if possible give members of the public the ability to use the road. A report was taken to the executive in November 2014 with various options. It was resolved at that stage to “Undertake a combination of pedestrian access and a low cost limited access road from the west.
