Centurion Way provides a VITAL Wildlife Corridor Linking SDNP with Chichester Harbour and the Manhood Peninsular - taking in Brandy Hole Copse Nature Reserve. The 20m wide heritage railway route links 2 SARs (Singleton and Cocking Tunnels) within SDNP. There is Evidence of at least 12 species of Bat in the Whitehouse Farm 1600 House Development Area (14 Species nearby). It is proven that Bats require many miles of suitable habitat to forage and complete their Life Cycle. Bats particularly require linear routes with continuous tree cover for dusk and dawn travel.
