Brownsea Quay L.3
Summary management approach
The overall intent for the management of Brownsea Island is to reduce the influence and impact of defences to re-establish a more natural shoreline. This does not preclude local management or maintenance (minor works) until management of the defences or the use of the area behind the quay buildings is untenable.
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)
HL3Hold the lineRepair not replace
Where protection is currently provided by coastal defence structures that might be maintained or repaired if funding allows, but not replaced if they fail or reach the end of their design life.
20 to 50 years (2025 to 2055)
MR1Managed realignmentSet back defence
Where the intention is to defend elsewhere in flood plain inland from present shoreline or allow erosion/recession to a defined alignment. New defences might be constructed at that new location if needed. This may involve the creation of inter-tidal habitat.
50 to 100 years (2055 to 2105)
