Fishbourne to West of Cobnor Point 5A07
Summary management approach
No case for national public funding but works by landowners to maintain existing structures to protect the historic communities of Bosham and Chidham may be acceptable. Allow undefended and unmanaged shoreline to continue to naturally evolve and support objectives for the environmental designations. Potential localised creation of intertidal compensatory habitat at East Chidham in the present term, required to compensate for habitat losses within the harbour.
Generic approach assigned to this unit
Management approaches depend on funding and relevant approvals and permissions. Adaptation to coastal change may be needed. If defences are present, some risk from flooding, erosion or ground instability may remain.
Time periods (short (0 to 20 years), medium (20 to 50 years) and long (50 to 100)) are approximate and do not signify precise dates of management transitions.
0 to 20 years (2005 to 2025)

Where the overall intention is for a natural shoreline, not to encourage new defences. In some areas, where specified in the Shoreline Management Plan, works to repair or construct short stretches of defence to provide localised protection (such as to a slipway, access point or isolated properties) may be considered by the Local Planning Authority. All works require relevant permissions.
