Map S30b (Eastern Wildlife Corridor). Different versions between Consult map (dated 30/10/18) and Evidence map (dated 6/11/18). Assuming later version is extant map (which includes Marsh Lane/Oldbury Farm/Bridleway 292/Common Land to West of Smiths Copse within corridor) propose following additions to provide sufficient corridor width and inclusion of significant Green Network features to reinforce function of this corridor:
1. Permanent reservoir on East side of Tangmere Airfield Nurseries;
2. Section of open field directly South of Woodhorn Green Recycling compound originally included in map dated 30/10/18;
3. Small uncultivated field to SW of Tangmere Common Land which is enclosed by watercourses and tree lines and is ecologically managed;
4. Area to South of existing corridor and District boundary between A259 and B2166. This area incorporates a network of field boundaries and watercourses of equal importance to those within existing corridor as well as providing direct connectivity between Aldingbourne and Pagham Rife catchments (e.g. watercourse along District boundary);
5. Area to West of existing corridor, South of Saltham Barns Nursery (Runcton), East of Runcton/Punches Lane to junction with Bowley Lane. This area incorporates a network of field boundaries and watercourses (including Pagham Rife and significant reservoirs) of equal importance to those within existing corridor;
6. Area South of existing corridor to District boundary where it departs from the District's boundary (East of Bowley Lane) to the Pagham Harbour SPA. This area incorporates a network of field boundaries and watercourses of equal importance to those within existing corridor;
7. Area between existing corridor and line between Pete's Farm (S Mundham), PROW linking S Mundham with Fisher Farm, Fisher Lane and Northern most tip of SPA at Chapel Cottage. This area incorporates a network of field boundaries and watercourses of equal importance to those within existing corridor.
8. Extend corridor along Tinwood Lane, including adjacent wooded areas, from SDNP boundary at Halnaker to Crockerhill.
