Portchester to Emsworth erosion plans unveiled
The Environment Agency in the UK, in partnership with Fareham Borough, Portsmouth City, Havant Borough and Chichester District Councils, has announced strategic recommendations in order to manage current and future risks along this part of the Hampshire coast. Flooding and erosion are real risks facing people and their properties along the Portchester Castle to Emsworth stretch of coastline in Hampshire.
The Portchester Castle to Emsworth Draft Coastal Flood and Erosion Risk Management Strategy recommends that the vast majority of properties should be protected to their current standard or better.
However, the draft strategy also recognises that securing Government funding for building and maintaining defences cannot be guaranteed. Views from the communities and key stakeholders have already shaped the draft strategy and the Environment Agency and their partners are now seeking further comments from residents on the proposed options before they are finalised.
The Portchester Castle to Emsworth Draft Coastal Flood and Erosion Risk Management Strategy summary document and summary technical report are available to download at: www.environment-agency.gov.uk/research/library/consultations/consultations.aspx.
