Environment Update

We are working on a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) to identify how we can make improvements to the environment whilst minimising negative impacts. We expect this work to be available for review in the winter.

We are also looking at how we can merge landscape improvements into the design of the flood risk solutions and aim to have these designs ready for review alongside the SEA.

Marine habitats may help to reduce flood and erosion risk by reducing wave power, whilst also improving biodiversity and absorbing carbon. We are therefore working with partners to understand the different forms of marine habitat that may be suitable for this area of coastline.
