Hamworthy Common J.1
Summary management approach
The policy would allow local management and maintenance by the holiday park's owners of the existing defences. This option would not be supported by government funding, and any ongoing maintenance of these defences will be depend upon private funding. The intention in the longer term is to work with holiday park owners to gradually remove the influence of management to allow a natural coast in keeping with the value of the area for wildlife reflected in its protected site designations.
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)
MR6Managed realignmentLocal activity only
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.
20 to 50 years (2025 to 2055)
