Oldbury Power Station to Littleton Warth SEV5
Summary management approach
Continue monitoring and maintenance of existing defences and infrastructure. Consider issues relating to coastal squeeze and options for addressing future flood risk and habitat requirements, whilst managing the impacts of flooding to people, property and infrastructure.
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)
