East Winchester Landscape and Environment Study

The western boundary of the South Downs National Park on the urban edge of Winchester is within a highly sensitive landscape of importance for biodiversity, heritage, natural beauty and recreation. Despite these important environmental considerations the landscape is under considerable and continuously expanding pressure for urbanising development and land use change, including major infrastructure, strategic housing allocations and agricultural/food production leading to fragmentation and erosion of landscape character and ecosystem functions.

This project will provide the evidence, research and agreed vision and delivery plan to enable the SDNPA and its partners and stakeholders to work collectively to address the erosion of landscape quality through the delivery of a series of short, medium and long term measures.
