Hunmanby Sands PU32.1
Summary management approach
Temporary defences installed to manage immediate risk will not be maintained, in order to encourage natural shoreline evolution and protect its character. Adaptation planning will be required.
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 defences are present, but it would be technically, economically, or environmentally unsustainable to maintain them.
20 to 50 years (2025 to 2055)
NI2No active interventionDo not defend
Where no defences are present, and it would be technically, economically, or environmentally unsustainable to introduce defences due to their impact on other communities, or on sites protected for their environmental importance.
50 to 100 years (2055 to 2105)
NI2No active interventionDo not defend
Where no defences are present, and it would be technically, economically, or environmentally unsustainable to introduce defences due to their impact on other communities, or on sites protected for their environmental importance.
