The Environment Agency has launched a new consultation on its proposals for flood and coastal erosion risk management of the Clacton-on-Sea and Holland-on-Sea coastline.
The Agency has been working in tandem with Tendring District Council and Essex County Council to look at how to sustainably manage the coastline over the next 100 years. The Agency has now developed recommendations which are set out in its draft Plan - Clacton and Holland - Managing the coastline for our future. The document also explains why we the draft Plan has been produced and what the next steps are.
The Agency also carried out environmentally assessments of a list of options which inform its final recommendations. The assessment is presented in the Strategic Environmental Assessment Environmental Report.
In addition, a more detailed document providing technical information on how the draft Plan recommendations were developed has been produced. The Clacton and Holland Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Plan - Technical Document is available upon request.
The Agency is now seeking comments both on the contents and conclusions of the draft plan and the Environmental Report. Deadline for submission of responses to the consultation is 3rd May.
The Agency will use the responses to finalise its recommendations for coastal management at Clacton–on-Sea and Holland-on-Sea. The results of the consultation will be available in July 2012.
