To consider the report of the Flood Risk management Officer seeking approval for the adoption of the Southampton Coastal Flood and Erosion Risk Management Strategy.
This provides a high level basis for decision making and action related to the management of the coastline over the next 100 years. The Strategy outlines the preferred options for management of the shoreline and phased risk-based implementation options over 3 time periods: short-term (2015 to 2030); medium-term (2030 to 2060); and long-term (2060 to 2110). The options were determined following rigorous assessments against natural processes and environmental acceptability and economic and technical viability. Adoption of the Southampton Coastal Flood and Erosion Risk Management Strategy will endorse the recommendations for management of this frontage, which the Council can promote and use to help deliver a strategic flood defence for the City.
