  • SMP2 6 Final Report
    6 ACTION PLAN 6.1 Coastal risk management activities The Action Plan for the Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Shoreline Management Plan review provides the basis for taking forward the intent of management which is discussed and developed through Chapter 4 - and summarised through the preferred policy choices set out in Chapter 5. The SMP guidance states that the purpose of the Action Plan is to summarise the actions that are required before the next review of the SMP however in reality the Action Plan is looking much further into the future in order to provide guidance on how the overall management intent for 100 years may be taken forward. For Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly SMP the Action Plan is a critical element, because there are various conditional policies for later epochs which need to be more firmly established in the future based on monitoring and investigation. The Action Plan can set the framework for an on-going shoreline management process in the coming years, with SMP3 in 5 to 10 years time as the next important milestone. This chapter therefore attempts to capture all intended actions necessary, on a policy unit by policy unit basis, to deliver the objectives at a local level. It should also help to prioritise FCRM medium and long-term planning budget lines. A number of the actions are representative of on-going commitments across the SMP area (for example to South West Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme). There are also actions that are representative of wide-scale intent of management, for example in relation to gaining a better understanding of the roles played by the various harbours and breakwaters located around the coast in terms of coast protection and sea defence.

  • Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management
    Appendix A - Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has overall responsibility for flood risk management in England. Their aim is to reduce flood risk by: • discouraging inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding. • encouraging adequate and cost effective flood warning systems. • encouraging adequate technically, environmentally and economically sound and sustainable flood defence measures. The Government’s Foresight Programme has recently produced a report called Future Flooding, which warns that the risk of flooding will increase between 2 and 20 times over the next 75 years. The report produced by the Office of Science and Technology has a long-term vision for the future (2030 – 2100), helping to make sure that effective strategies are developed now. Sir David King, the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government concluded: “continuing with existing policies is not an option – in virtually every scenario considered (for climate change), the risks grow to unacceptable levels. Secondly, the risk needs to be tackled across a broad front. However, this is unlikely to be sufficient in itself. Hard choices need to be taken – we must either invest in more sustainable approaches to flood and coastal management or learn to live with increasing flooding”. In response to this, Defra is leading the development of a new strategy for flood and coastal erosion for the next 20 years. This programme, called “Making Space for Water” will help define and set the agenda for the Government’s future strategic approach to flood risk. Within this strategy there will be an overall approach to the assessing options through a strong and continuing commitment to CFMPs and SMPs within a broader planning framework which will include River Basin Management Plans prepared under the Water Framework Directive and Integrated Coastal Zone Management.

That makes 229 resident • Open stony, sparsely-vegetated areas on free-draining soils presumably maintained either by exposure breeding species, of which about 63% (147) are RDB (8), Nationally Scarce (46) or rare in the county (93). or grazing: Ophonus puncticollis – see extinct species above Where a species has been accorded “Nationally Scarce” or “British Red Data Book” status this is shown • On dry sandy soils, usually on coast, presumably maintained by exposure or grazing: immediately following the scientific name. Ophonus sabulicola (Looe, VCH) The various categories are essentially as follows: • Open heath vegetation, generally maintained by grazing: Poecilus kugelanni – see BAP species above RDB - species which are only known in Britain from fewer than 16 of the 10km squares of the National Grid. • Unimproved flushed grass pastures with Devil’s-bit-scabious: • Category 1 Endangered - taxa in danger of extinction Lebia cruxminor (‘Bodmin Moor’, 1972 & Treneglos, 1844) • Category 2 Vulnerable - taxa believed

It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 1.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

  • Prioritised Action Framework for England
    Doc Hab 12-04/04 Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora and Directive 2009/147/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 on the conservation of wild birds FORMAT FOR A PRIORITISED ACTION FRAMEWORK (PAF) FOR NATURA 2000 For the EU Multiannual Financing Period 2014-2020 England including marine to 12 nautical miles (2nd edition) (Version 30 March 2016) Summary of England PAF, 2nd edition This annex to the UK Prioritised Actions Framework applies to Natura 2000 sites in England, including inshore waters up to 12 nautical miles. This 2nd edition updates the first PAF (edition 2013) to incorporate the latest conservation status assessments, the outcomes of the LIFE funded IPENS project (Improvement Programme for England’s Natura 2000 Sites) and views of stakeholders and partners. Prioritised Actions Frameworks set out the priorities and funding needs for Natura 2000. The actions and cost estimates set out in this England PAF do not commit Government or any other organisation to provide additional funding for Natura 2000, although applications under e.g. LIFE and European Maritime and Fisheries Fund do require match funding. Rather the PAF provides a strategic overview to where resources are best targeted in order to improve the condition of England Natura 2000 sites and where possible deliver multiple environmental benefits. This revision will also improve the targeting of actions to better protect and enhance valuable wildlife sites and species, maximising benefits for the environment, people and the economy as part of the Government’s 25 year Environment Plan.
