  • Streams, Ditches and Wetlands in the Chichester District. by Dr
    Streams, Ditches and Wetlands in the Chichester District. By Dr. Carolyn Cobbold, BSc Mech Eng., FRSA Richard C J Pratt, BA(Hons), PGCE, MSc (Arch), FRGS Despite the ‘duty of cooperation’ set out in the National Planning Policy Framework1, there is mounting evidence that aspects of the failure to deliver actual cooperation have been overlooked in the recent White Paper2. Within the subregion surrounding the Solent, it is increasingly apparent that the development pressures are such that we risk losing sight of the natural features that underscore not only the attractiveness of the area but also the area’s natural health itself. This paper seeks to focus on the aquatic connections which maintain the sub-region’s biological health, connections which are currently threatened by overdevelopment. The waters of this sub-region sustain not only the viability of natural habitat but also the human economy of employment, tourism, recreation, leisure, and livelihoods. All are at risk. The paper is a plea for greater cooperation across the administrative boundaries of specifically the eastern Solent area. The paper is divided in the following way. 1. Highlands and Lowlands in our estimation of worth 2. The Flow of Water from Downs to Sea 3. Wetlands and Their Global Significance 4. Farmland and Fishing 5. 2011-2013: Medmerry Realignment Scheme 6. The Protection and Enhancement of Natural Capital in The Land ‘In Between’ 7. The Challenge to Species in The District’s Wildlife Corridors 8. Water Quality 9. Habitat Protection and Enhancement at the Sub-Regional Level 10. The policy restraints on the destruction of natural capital 11.

  • Segar Stream River Itchen
    Segar Stream River Itchen An advisory visit carried out by the Wild Trout Trust – January 2011 1 1. Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust advisory visit undertaken on the Segar Stream which is a carrier of the River Itchen in Hampshire. The advisory visit was undertaken at the request of the Portsmouth Services Fly Fishing Club which has been invited to lease the fishing rights. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Robin Bray, Anthony Kennett and Mark Kerr from the fishing club. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. 2. Catchment overview The River Itchen is considered to be one of the finest examples of a chalk river in Europe and one of the most famous brown trout (Salmo trutta) fisheries in the world. The river is designated as Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) (Appendix 1). The Itchen rises from the chalk aquifer to the east of Winchester where groundwater fed springs feed into three headwater streams; the Alre, the Candover and the Tichbourne, or Cheriton Stream. The streams converge near Alresford and flow south west, through the centre of Winchester and on to join the sea in Southampton. The river is characterised by a plethora of man-made channels, some dug to provide milling power, some to support the old Itchen Navigation canal and others to feed the network of water meadow carriers.

    Hamble-le-Rice Hamble-le-Rice 1.0 PARISH Hamble-le-Rice 2.0 HUNDRED Mainsbridge 3.0 NGR 448100 106730 4.0 GEOLOGY Plateau Gravel; Bracklesham Beds to the south. Alluvium in the river valley. 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) Hamble (le Rice) is situated on a triangular tongue of land that is bounded on the east by the River Hamble and to the south and west by Southampton Water. The parish is c.3.5km² being <5m AOD in the area of the riverside (east) but rising to c. 18m AOD within 500m westwards. There are several listed buildings around The Quay and The Square but the north part of the parish was a World War II airfield. It is in this latter area that there is a concentration of new housing and development was continuing at the time of the site visit. The River Hamble is tidal here and this has encouraged the construction of extensive marina facilities. An area of common survives to the south of the settlement and this is now public open space. 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 3, 4 & 5) Monastic house + agglomeration Hamble was not mentioned in the Domesday Book but there is an eighth-century topographical reference to the mouth of the River Hamble in Bede’s History of the English Church and People (Sherley-Price [trans], 1955: 234). The location of Hamble-le Rice, on a tongue of land at the south-east end of Hound CP, suggests that it was a part of that manor or estate in C11.

  • Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers
    Coarse fishing close season on English rivers Appendix 1 – Current coarse fish close season arrangements The close season on different waters In England, there is a coarse fish close season on all rivers, some canals and some stillwaters. This has not always been the case. In the 1990s, only around 60% of the canal network had a close season and in some regions, the close season had been dispensed with on all stillwaters. Stillwaters In 1995, following consultation, government confirmed a national byelaw which retained the coarse fish close season on rivers, streams, drains and canals, but dispensed with it on most stillwaters. The rationale was twofold: • Most stillwaters are discrete waterbodies in single ownership. Fishery owners can apply bespoke angling restrictions to protect their stocks, including non-statutory close times. • The close season had been dispensed with on many stillwaters prior to 1995 without apparent detriment to those fisheries. This presented strong evidence in favour of removing it. The close season is retained on some Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, as a precaution against possible damage to sensitive wildlife - see Appendix 1. This consultation is not seeking views on whether the close season should be retained on these stillwaters While most stillwater fishery managers have not re-imposed their own close season rules, some have, either adopting the same dates as apply to rivers or tailoring them to their waters' specific needs. Canals The Environment Agency commissioned a research project in 1997 to examine the evidence around the close season on canals to identify whether or not angling during the close season was detrimental to canal fisheries.

  • HIWWT Winnall Moors, Winchester Scrub Clearance Sunday 21
    HIWWT Winnall Moors, Winchester Worthys Scrub Clearance Conservation st Sunday 21 January 2007 Volunteers A group of 12 willing volunteers met on a chilly but bright afternoon at 1.30pm at Durngate car park near to the entrance of Winnall Moors wildlife sanctuary. Our task leader for the day was Mark Langford, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust (HIWWT) Reserves Officer for Winnall Moors. A brief talk was given by Mark on the history of Winnall Moors as a water meadow, the current management programme and the plans for the future (see below). The group, led by Mark, then headed deep into the moors, over very boggy terrain, to the selected site. (It was just as well that children were not permitted this afternoon as the conditions were Before: site area to be cleared of trees somewhat hazardous!) and scrub A safety talk was given, and then we split into two teams – Bruce, Martin (no Rosie the springer spaniel this time!), Jeremy, Lizzie and new-comers Mike and Kate, and David G, David F, Nick, Margaret and Clare – working on separate tree clumps (thought to be ash or elder). Swamp conditions! … making an impact Well used to cutting down trees and clearing scrub, the teams set about with vigour and enthusiasm, achieving a great deal by the end of the afternoon. A stop for tea and biscuits ensured we were able to keep going. Tree trunks were stacked in to wood piles later to be used as wildlife habitats. Round up!
