Chichester Harbour designated AONB

undefined

Chichester Harbour was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1964, providing landscape protection for the harbour and its surroundings, including the area south of Fishbourne. The designation recognises the exceptional quality of the harbour landscape and its importance for wildlife, recreation, and the character of the harbour settlements. The AONB provides planning protection against inappropriate development and ensures that the harbour's natural beauty is conserved for future generations.
