Trow Point (South) PU3.1
Summary management approach
Slow erosion, with Trow Point still maintaining control of the sediment system to the north and south, including provision of new defences in the longer term if needed.
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)
NI1No active interventionNo need to defend
Where there are no buildings, infrastructure or protected sites at risk and no defences are present. There is no requirement or intention to introduce defences.
20 to 50 years (2025 to 2055)
NI1No active interventionNo need to defend
Where there are no buildings, infrastructure or protected sites at risk and no defences are present. There is no requirement or intention to introduce defences.
50 to 100 years (2055 to 2105)
HL2Hold the lineNew defences
Where there is little or no protection currently, and the intention is for new defences to be introduced, if funding allows. Introduction of new defences may follow a period of Managed Realignment or No Active Intervention.
