It is predicted sea levels could rise by as much as a metre around Britain by the end of the century. This might not sound like much, but here it would mean much of Portsmouth would be lost underwater! Rising sea levels are a pressing concern for our island nation. How did a sea level rise turn the tide of Portsmouth’s fortune? 16,000 years ago (during the last Ice Age) the area we now know as Portsmouth looked very different. There was no harbour here, just a valley with a small river running from Portsdown Hill into the Solent. The Solent was not the great estuary it is today, but simply a river flowing south to join a larger river, called the Channel River, where the English Channel is now. While there were no glaciers in the South of England, much of Scotland was under a great ice sheet.

  • Havant Borough Townscape, Landscape and Seascape Character Assessment February 2007 13
    HAVANT BOROUGH TOWNSCAPE, LANDSCAPE AND SEASCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT FEBRUARY 2007 13 HAVANT BOROUGH TOWNSCAPE, LANDSCAPE AND SEASCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT SECTION 2: FORMATIVE INFLUENCES ON THE LANDSCAPE HAVANT BOROUGH TOWNSCAPE, LANDSCAPE AND SEASCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT FEBRUARY 2007 14 FORMATIVE INFLUENCES ON THE LANDSCAPE 2.1 Introduction The patterns and distinctive features of the Havant Borough landscape are a result of the interaction of its physical structure, the nature of the vegetation, the land uses which have resulted, its built form and the continuing influence of human activity. This section draws out the most significant past and present physical and human influences that have shaped the development of Havant Borough. The meaning of technical terms which have been used in this section are set out in the Glossary at the end of the report. 2.2 Landscape, Townscape and Seascape Context Although Havant Borough is relatively small, its landscape, townscape and seascape development is very varied and complex, reflecting the pattern of the wider landscape, townscape and seascape which surround it. Topographically and geologically it sits in the lower levels (below 50mAOD) on the Hampshire Basin clays and sands which extend along the southern seaboard of Hampshire and the Solent. However, the southern part of the Borough, like its neighbour Portsmouth, is distinguished by the higher outcrop of the chalk escarpment at Portsdown Hill. Its coastal lowlands are typical of the mix of urban growth and exposed open landscapes along the Hampshire coast east of Southampton Water, but Hayling Island, in particular, is unique in its harbour and coastal setting and predominantly rural character.

  • Appendix D Tabled Item 16 Updates to Appendix B of the Report
    Appendix D Tabled item 16 Updates to Appendix B of the report Following comments made by the Licensing & Regulatory Affairs Committee made at its meeting of Tuesday 20 July, the following amendments to Appendix B are recommended to Council for approval: Paragraph 7 Fareham Borough Council strongly believes that the town centre of Fareham and its surrounding villages and towns has little or no community cohesion with the town of Waterlooville which lies some 10 miles away at the northern foot of Portsdown Hill. Portsdown Hill is a significant natural topographical barrier rising to the north of Wallington and Portchester in the east running along the northern boundary of the city of Portsmouth and falling to the west into Bedhampton and Havant. At its highest point, Portsdown Hill stands 131 metres above sea level and creates a challenge to the keenest cyclist or walker if wanting to travel without the use of transport between the Borough of Fareham (the majority of which is just above sea level) and the town of Waterlooville which sits in the valley floor between Portsdown Hill and Butser Hill. The topographical map below illustrates how the Borough of Fareham is framed by the River Meon and the River Wallington whilst the chalk ridge of Portsdown Hill creates that natural barrier: Appendix D Tabled item 16 Updates to Appendix B of the report Paragraph 11 Fareham Borough Council is currently in the early stages of a Local Government Boundary Commission for England guided Electoral Review which is scheduled to be presented to Parliament in March 2023 and will be implemented via all out local elections in May 2024.
