Introduction 1.1 Project Context This Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) has been undertaken as part of a commission to develop SWMPs for five areas of West Sussex which have a history of significant flooding from surface water, groundwater and drainage systems. The five study areas were: Easebourne; Lancing; Manhood Peninsula; Upper Lavant Valley, and; West Chichester, including Fishbourne and Parklands. These areas were selected as part of West Sussex County Council’s (WSCC) response to the severe flooding in the summer and winter of 2012, although it is recognised that many of these have suffered flooding on multiple occasions. A SWMP is described as a framework through which key local partners with a responsibility for surface water and drainage in their area work together to understand the causes of surface water flooding and agree the most cost effective way of managing that risk. The purpose is to make sustainable surface water management decisions that are evidence based, risk based, future proofed and inclusive of stakeholder views. Managing surface water flooding requires a range of partners, organisations and individuals to work together. The roles and responsibilities for those involved in helping to manage surface water flooding are described in Appendix A. 1.2 Background to the Manhood Peninsula SWMP Drainage and flooding has long been recognised as a key issue in the Manhood Peninsula. In 2005 and 2006 Chichester District Council commissioned Royal Haskoning to undertake a three phase land drainage study. Part of this study involved considering flooding records as far back as 2001, although we recognise that flooding has been an issue in the Peninsula for a much longer time horizon. Furthermore, during the June 2012 extreme summer storm, and the two wet winters of 2012/13 and 2013/14 there was substantial flooding across large parts of the Manhood Peninsula affecting people, property and roads. Since then there has been significant drainage improvements to reduce flood risk and local communities, parish councils and flood action groups have played a critical role in delivering these improvements. However, flooding and drainage remains a key issue in the Peninsula and the purpose of this SWMP is to understand improvement works to date and formulate a clear action plan to reduce flood risk to people, property and infrastructure.

Day 3: Chichester – cathedral and city centre On Monday 11th April, the third day of our visit to West Sussex, the day was wet, so we chose an indoor venue - Chichester Cathedral. Founded as a cathedral in 1075, the building was completed in 1108.

South Coast Plain Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • Manhood Peninsula
    Overall Character THE WEST SUSSEX LANDSCAPE Land Management Guidelines This Character Area lies in the south west of the county, to the south of Chichester, between the harbours of Chichester and Pagham. A large part of this area has been reclaimed from the sea, and remains below the current high spring tide level. It is mainly flat open landscape, dominated by highly productive large arable fields and modern farm buildings and characterised by a decline in tree and hedgerow cover and loss of grassland habitats. Habitation is predominantly in scattered small traditional settlements and larger suburban villages. Areas of unimproved grassland still exist along the edges of streams and rifes which are often immediately bordered by reed beds. Sheet SC2 In contrast, some parts have a patchwork of smaller enclosed pastures and horse paddocks which have a more intimate character. Parkland tree belts remaining from former estates are an occasional feature and there are significant clusters of glasshouses in the Sidlesham area. Manhood Key Characteristics G Large scale arable farming with large, often hedgeless fields. G Mainly low-lying flat landform. G Extensive farms with both traditional and modern farm buildings and silos. Peninsula G Pockets of small enclosed pasture fields and horse paddocks. G Industry in the countryside mainly associated with horticulture, resulting in large expanses of South Coast Plain G Linear villages. glasshouses. G G Narrow, right-angled or winding lanes. Scattered vernacular villages with mixed building materials, often flint, brick, half timber and stone, often with sprawling modern fringes. G Occasional views from the land of the water, or of yacht masts.
