Benacre Broad to Easton Broad COV7.1
Summary management approach
The broad intent of management in this area is non-interventional, encouraging a natural coastline. This would not preclude local small scale management of erosion to the cliffs if it could be demonstrated that any works would not impact on the overall sediment supply to the foreshore, did not significantly interrupt sediment drift and did not have a material impact on the nature conservation interests, geological processes and landscape quality of the area.
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)
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.
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.
