To consider a report of the Sustainability Policy Manager seeking approval for the adoption of the River Itchen, Weston Shore, Netley and Hamble Coastal Defence Strategy (CDS) to provide a strategic level basis for decision making and action related to the management of the coastline over the next 100 years. The Strategy outlines sustainable policies for the management of the shoreline and feasible implementation options over 3 time periods: present day (0-20 years); medium-term (20-50 years); and long-term (50-100 years). The Strategy sets out sustainable coastal defence measures that are compatible with natural processes, environmentally acceptable, economically and technically viable while compatible with preferred management strategies in neighbouring areas and with the higher level North Solent Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) covering the study area. The adoption of the River Itchen, Weston Shore, Netley and Hamble Strategy will endorse the recommendations for management of coastal flood and erosion risk enabling the implementation of the policies outlined in the CDS and North Solent SMP.
