River Itchen to Hamble Coastal Study
The River Itchen, Weston Shore, Netley and Hamble Coastal Study was completed in November 2011 with a focus on coastal erosion and flood risk within the study area.
Initially, the study was designed to deliver a formal coastal defence strategy. However, due to a minimal need in the study area for coastal erosion or flood defence schemes, it was not considered appropriate to take the study forward to produce a strategy.
The study is still a valuable resource, it:
- Provided technical input to the North Solent Shoreline Management Plan 2010
- Will provide technical support for any future coastal projects and schemes
- Supports the hierarchy of plans that apply to the coastline
- Provides a potential starting point to review the need for a formal strategy
