Being aligned north-south, it crosses all the main geologies of West Sussex from the greensand ridges, through Wealden river valleys and heathlands, to the high chalk downland and the coastal plain. In so doing it offers a great variety of scenery, flora and fauna. The trail logo reflects this by depicting the South Downs, the River Rother and Chichester Harbour. It can be walked energetically in three days, bearing in mind that the total ‘climb’ is around 650 metres/2,000 feet. The maps divide it into six sections, which although unequal in distance, break the route into stages that allow the possible use of public transport. There is a good choice of accommodation and restaurants in Liphook, Midhurst and Chichester, elsewhere there is a smattering of pubs and B&Bs – although the northern section is a little sparse in that respect.

    DRAFT WALKING AND CYCLING STRATEGY 2016–2026 Highways and Transport, West Sussex County Council Contents Chapter 1 Introduction p2 Chapter 2 Existing situation p6 Approach to Infrastructure Design Chapter 3 p15 and Safety Chapter 4 Supporting Activities p19 Chapter 5 Infrastructure Priorities p24 Chapter 6 Delivering the Strategy p26 Appendix Full list of schemes entered by p28 stakeholders sub-divided by scheme type and prioritised by Sustrans’ Rate tool ranking 1 Highways and Transport, West Sussex County Council 1 Introduction 1.1 The benefits of walking and cycling Walking and cycling are low cost modes of travel that have the potential to replace a significant proportion of motorised journeys. Modal shift from motor transport (and in particular private cars) to active modes can reduce traffic congestion, improve journey reliability, and reduce carbon emissions linked to climate change. Moreover, walking and cycling have numerous health benefits including: reducing levels of obesity and related conditions such as diabetes and coronary heart disease, improving poor air quality which is estimated to hasten around 40,000 deaths per year in the UK 1, reducing stress, contributing to mental wellbeing, and improving healthy life expectancy. Walking and cycling can also help to boost the local economy and reduce societal costs associated with sedentary living, mitigating air pollution, and adapting to climate change. 1.2 The need for this strategy The purpose of this document is: • To clearly state West Sussex County Council’s aims and objectives

We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Woodland, hills, green meadows, heath, views In Brief This is a wonderful, rather energetic, walk in a hilly region on the Sussex- Hampshire border, combining the steep Maysleith Hanger and another long string of hills in this lesser-known part of Sussex. There were no nettles or brambles when this walk was done in February but in high summer you will find the paths more overgrown and the views more obscured by foliage. Because of the hilly terrain and the well-surfaced paths in the valley, this walk is mainly dry underfoot, although this can change significantly in the wetter seasons when boots are recommended. Your dog can come with you since the pubs and the stiles are dog-friendly. The walk begins at the Iron Hill car park, just outside Liphook, Hants (although Bird's Eye View this walk is entirely in West Sussex), grid ref SU848303, nearest postcode GU30 7LP , www.w3w.co/ infinite.sunbeam.vent . Liphook Another good starting place is Milland , postcode GU30 7NA , if you want to end Iron Hill the walk at lunch time.

  • Stedham with Iping Neighbourhood Development Plan Submission Full Representations
    STEDHAM WITH IPING NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN SUBMISSION FULL REPRESENTATIONS Respondent R1 Reference: Organisation or Graham Ault Individual: Agent Details: N/A From: Graham Ault Sent: 01 January 2019 12:07 To: Neighbourhood Subject: Comments on Stedham with Iping Neighbourhood Plan As a resident of Stedham I wish to make some comments on the draft Neighbourhood Plan. I have previously made these comments to the neighbourhood Plan group but they have not been acted on, nor have I received a response to them. I broadly welcome the plan and thank the authors for their hard work in preparing it. I recognise the value of such a plan in protecting the future of the area, albeit that the status of such plans appear to have been diminished by recent government policy announcements. One of the visions of the plan (page 5), is to "promote the use of recreational spaces....." in the parish. However, one of the largest open spaces in the area is not listed in the Local Green Spaces (page 14) and indeed the whole plan appears to be silent on the issue. That area is the green space known locally as the "Polo Fields". It is a fundamentally crucial open space adjacent to the East side of Stedham village. There are two public footpaths across the land. In addition there has been a long-term understanding that local residents can access the land for responsible recreational purposes. Indeed, this happens every day of the year and is certainly not restricted to the public footpaths. The "polo Fields" title is mainly historical, dating back to the one time proposal to develop a polo centre here.

It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 5.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.
