Little Oakley North B2A
Summary management approach
Managed realignment by Hutchison Ports to compensate for the impacts of port development on sites protected for internationally important wildlife. Landowners will be engaged on the potential to expand the managed realignment area into nearby areas. Managed realignment would be by breach of existing defences while continuing flood defence to the properties, roads, sewage works and other infrastructure south of Dovercourt.

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)
HL1Hold the lineMaintain/replace
Where protection is currently provided by coastal defence structures or managed beaches, and the intention is to retain a defence along approximately the current alignment. This will involve replacing defences when needed. Defence type, method and standard of protection may be modified over time.
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)
HL1Hold the lineMaintain/replace
Where protection is currently provided by coastal defence structures or managed beaches, and the intention is to retain a defence along approximately the current alignment. This will involve replacing defences when needed. Defence type, method and standard of protection may be modified over time.
