The new Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) will be composed of the main document and its supporting appendices. The main SMP document is used by a wide audience so it will be relatively succinct, whilst still including the important details. The accompanying Appendices, therefore, provide further information and a greater level of detail. They will be posted here when the Plan is published.
The content of the Appendices follow guidelines set out by Defra, the national government department responsible for flood and coastal erosion risk management.
| Appendix A: SMP Development |
This reports the history of development of the SMP, describing more fully the plan and policy decision-making process. The remaining documents effectively provide appendices to this report. |
| Appendix B: Stakeholder Involvement |
Stakeholders have an important role in shaping the plan and preferred policies. Communications and information arising from the consultation process are provided here. |
| Appendix C: Baseline Processes |
Provides baseline coastal process assessments in terms of long term issues associated with undertaking a ‘no active intervention' baseline. |
| Appendix D: Thematic Reviews |
This report identifies and evaluates the significance of environmental features (human, natural, historical and landscape) and examines how they need to be accommodated by the SMP .
|
| Appendix E: Isses and Objective Evaluation |
Provides information on the issues and objectives identified as part of the plan development and their appraisal for a range of scenarios.
|
| Appendix F: Shoreline Interactions and Response |
The impacts of a range of policy scenarios upon shoreline evolution have been tested. These have formed a key part of determining sustainability of various options. The results of these tests are provided here together with background information on the processes taking place along this coast. Also included with this is information on existing defences.
|
| Appendix G: Preferred Policy Appraisal |
A summary of the preferred policies based on details in appendices E and F.
|
| Appendix H: Economics |
This report provides a high-level assessment of the economic justification of the preferred policy in terms of justified, not justified and marginal. |
| Appendix I: Metadatabase and Bibliographic Database |
All supporting information used to develop the SMP is referenced for future examination and retrieval.
