The strategy sets out visions for spatial development and levels of growth for the Island up to 2035.The draft strategy is available for public consultation from 3rd December 2018 to 28th January 2019 allowing people comment on what the council are proposing. This draft HRA follows a HRA Background Report which detailed baseline information and the proposed methodology for conducting this assessment. Natural England, the Environment Agency and Marine Management Organisation were consulted, and comments received have been taken into consideration when drafting this draft HRA report. The potential for likely significant effect on the following 12 designated nature conservation sites have been assessed: Special Areas of Special Protection Areas Ramsar sites Conservation (SACs) (SPAs) Briddlesford Copses Chichester & Langstone Chichester & Langstone Harbours Harbours Isle of Wight Downs Dorset Heathlands Dorset Heathlands New Forest New Forest New Forest River Itchen Solent & Isle of Wight Portsmouth Harbour Portsmouth Harbour Lagoons Solent Maritime Solent & Southampton Solent & Southampton Water Water South Wight Maritime Potential Solent and Dorset Coast Detailed screening of the draft Island Planning Strategy looked at the effects of policies and the conservation objectives of the European and Ramsar sites (including presumed conservation objectives where these are not known). Each of the draft policies that could not be screened out as having no effect on designated sites were then examined in more detail. A high-level assessment on impacts associated with residential, employment, retail and transport policies was completed where the following threats and vulnerabilities have been identified: - Habitat loss and direct harm to species - Habitat fragmentation/ loss of supporting habitat - Direct harm to species - Urbanisation - Coastal squeeze - Increased recreational pressure - Water quality - Water abstraction - Air quality 1 Findings and recommendations A detailed assessment of each potential development site put forward through the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) was conducted to identify any likely significant effects on the designated sites and, where necessary, any mitigation requirements. This assessment has informed plans for housing growth and where sites have been allocated, specific policy has been drafted to include any of the mitigation requirements. Research shows that new visitor and residential development is causing an adverse impact on the Solent and Southampton Water SPA. This has led to a partnership approach across the Solent to ensure development mitigates the impacts. The Isle of Wight Council is a member of the Solent Recreation Mitigation Partnership and is signed up to the approach set out within the partnership’s Bird Aware Solent strategy. The approach includes a series of management measures which actively encourage all coastal visitors to enjoy their visits in a responsible manner. The strategy also recognises that well designed Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspaces (SANGs) that are integral to a development

  • Historic Environment Action Plan Brading Haven and Bembridge Isle
    Directorate of Community Services Director Sarah Mitchell Historic Environment Action Plan Brading Haven and Bembridge Isle Isle of Wight County Archaeology and Historic Environment Service October 2008 01983 823810 archaeology @iow.gov.uk Iwight.com HEAP for Brading Haven and Bembridge Isle INTRODUCTION The Brading Haven and Bembridge Isle HEAP Area comprises land surrounding the former Brading Haven together with the reclaimed land of the haven itself. It includes the settlement of Brading in the west of the Area, St Helens and Nettlestone in the north, Bembridge in the east and Yaverland in the south. Part of this Area, including Bembridge and Yaverland, was for much of its history an island in its own right, cut off from the Wight mainland by arms of the sea at high tide and muddy gulfs at low tide, hence its former name of ‘Bembridge Isle’. A wide area of sea flowed up between Bembridge and St. Helens, past Brading and Yaverland and then joined up with another branch of sea that entered through a gap between Yaverland and Sandown where the boating lake is today. The area between Yaverland and Sandown became known as the ‘Sandown Level’ after it had been drained. A further branch struck off west towards Alverstone. These tidal inlets effectively cut Bembridge Isle off from the rest of the Island until the construction of a causeway at Yar Bridge in the Middle Ages. However, Brading Haven remained as a wide tidal inlet at the mouth of the Eastern Yar River, extending as far inland as Brading, until it was drained between 1878 and 1880, leaving the much smaller area of Bembridge Harbour (Martin 2004a).

    THE ISLE OF WIGHT IN THE ENGLISH LANDSCAPE: MEDIEVAL AND POST-MEDIEVAL RURAL SETTLEMENT AND LAND USE ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT HELEN VICTORIA BASFORD A study in two volumes Volume 1: Text and References Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2013 2 Copyright Statement This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. 3 4 Helen Victoria Basford The Isle of Wight in the English Landscape: Medieval and Post-Medieval Rural Settlement and Land Use Abstract The thesis is a local-scale study which aims to place the Isle of Wight in the English landscape. It examines the much discussed but problematic concept of ‘islandness’, identifying distinctive insular characteristics and determining their significance but also investigating internal landscape diversity. This is the first detailed academic study of Isle of Wight land use and settlement from the early medieval period to the nineteenth century and is fully referenced to national frameworks. The thesis utilises documentary, cartographic and archaeological evidence. It employs the techniques of historic landscape characterisation (HLC), using synoptic maps created by the author and others as tools of graphic analysis. An analysis of the Isle of Wight’s physical character and cultural roots is followed by an investigation of problems and questions associated with models of settlement and land use at various scales.
