In its draft Southern Water have set out an outage recovery profile for specific sources that will be delivered during the remainder of AMP 6 and AMP 7. The outage allowance adopted thereafter has been based on a historic analysis of The outage methodology is detailed in appendix plan, the company has not demonstrated that it has made sufficient progress in addressing this issue, with high outage continuing to be forecast in the early years of the total and partial outage that is appropriate for unplanned events. F to Annex 3. Also see Annex 3 Section 8 for a planning period. It is not clear if the company has used recent observed outage data to inform its assessment of outage. Doing this will ensure that its forecasts of outage are high level summary of the appendix achievable, accurate and realistic. The company also states that it has followed the recommended UKWIR guidance to assess outage, but it is unclear in the plan if this is the This profile forms an updated outage allowance scenario reducing to 34.61 Ml by 2025 for a normal/dry year. This method is based on actual outage and schemes to reduce outage. The analysis we completed and presented case. It has not used its risk-based planning methodology to assess and forecast outage. This is out of line with the approach the company has taken across the rest of its in the draft Water Resources Management Plan will act as support for this approach, showing that based on historical analysis these levels of outage can be maintained. Furthermore a level of uncertainty is built into the model draft plan. It is unclear why the company has chosen to do this or what the implications of this are to the plan. If actual outage is higher than estimated in the plan, this poses a for outage that could be experienced whilst the outage recovery plan is being implemented. This will add more resilience to each of the water resource zones. The methodology will be detailed in an appendix to Annex 3. risk to the security of supplies in a dry year. The company should improve its approach to assessing outage, and describe what it will do to achieve further reductions to outage and show that outage does not contribute to or cause dry year deficits. R1.1: High outage The company has indicated high outage compared to WRMP14 outage allowance in its If the company has not The company should provide An outage recovery plan has been implemented for the remainder of AMP 6 bringing outage levels down to 76.30. The start of the plan (2020) will therefore see a higher level of outage allowance (76.30). A further reduction The outage methodology is detailed in appendix experienced Annual Reviews reporting for 2015/16 and 2016/17. This resulted in concerns to the assessed the outage further information on the outage in AMP 7 has been planned, bringing the levels of outage down to 34.61 by 2025. This profile has been adopted for one of the scenarios to be tested in the investment modelling. The profile in the plan thus follows the F to Annex 3. Also see Annex 3 Section 8 for a security of supply in the case of a dry year for 3 of the company’s water resources allowance adequately there assessment to demonstrate how planned outage recovery profile and is based on schemes that will be delivered by 2025. For 1:200 and 1:500 year droughts the approach post 2025 is to reduce the outage to the full outage levels maintained during the high level summary of the appendix zones. It is a concern that the company may not deliver its outage recovery plan and is a risk that the company these high outage events have 2006 drought and adding on the partial outage calculated for 2025 under the outage recovery plan (no partial outage data available for 2006 (29.45)) in order to get a total outage figure.

In light of this several approaches to outage were considered.

    BEACH RECHARGE IN SUSSEX & EAST KENT: A PRELIMINARY INVENTORY & OVERVIEW Compiled by R. Williams, edited by C. Moses.

To counteract falling beach levels, the Environment Agency and local authorities are increasingly resorting to “topping-up” the beaches with additional sand and shingle. Several terms are currently employed to refer to the artificial provision of extra beach material, but there is disagreement about their precise definition. For the purpose of this report, beach nourishment (or beach replenishment) is defined as the supply of material that has been dredged from the seabed or extracted from inland sand and gravel pits. Beach recycling is defined as the removal

    www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath England Coast Path East Head to Shoreham by Sea Natural England’s Report to the Secretary of State: Overview 2 England Coast Path | East Head to Shoreham by Sea | Natural England’s Report to the Secretary of State | Overview Advice on reading the report This report sets out for approval by the Secretary of State our proposals for the England Coast Path and associated Coastal Margin on this stretch of coast. It is published on our web pages as a series of separate documents, alongside more general information about how the Coastal Access programme works: Overview This document is called the Overview. It explains the overall context for the report and includes background information which is helpful in understanding our proposals. It also provides key information concerning specific aspects of our proposals, including roll-back and access restrictions or exclusions. Please read the Overview first – in particular part 3, which includes notes to help you understand the detailed proposals and accompanying maps. Proposals Chapters 1 to 6 are called the proposals. These set out and explain the access provisions we propose for each length of coast to which they relate. Each chapter is accompanied by detailed maps of the relevant length of coast. The maps are numbered according to the part of the chapter to which they relate. For example, maps 1.a to 1.c illustrate the proposals in chapter 1. Using Map A (previous page) Map A shows the whole of the East Head to Shoreham by Sea stretch divided into short numbered lengths of coast, from East Head at the western end (Chapter 1) to Shoreham by Sea at the eastern end (Chapter 6).

  • A27 Arundel Bypass Report on Further Consultation
    A27 Arundel Bypass Report on Further Consultation Appendix D: Other written responses from organisations (vol.2) Pacific House (Second Floor) Hazelwick Avenue Three Bridges Crawley RH10 1EX 01293 305965 coast2capital.org.uk By e-mail 23 October 2019 Dear Highways England, I am writing on behalf of Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership in response to Highways England A27 Arundel Bypass Further Consultation. Coast to Capital is a unique business-led collaboration between the private, public and education sectors across a diverse area which includes East Surrey, Greater Brighton and West Sussex. The consultation material summarises well the national and regional significance of the A27, “As the main route serving the south coast, the A27 corridor is crucial to the region’s success. A population of more than 1 million people rely on the A27, and growth plans for the region mean this number is only set to increase.” The need to reduce congestion and improve movement of people and goods along the A27 from Brighton to Portsmouth is widely recognised, specifically in order to increase the local and regional economy, with widespread support for an appropriate intervention at Arundel. The limitations of the A27 are part of a wider picture of infrastructure challenges in the Coast to Capital area that restrict our economic growth compared to other parts of the South East. The national significance of this scheme is recognised in Government’s own 2015-2020 Road Investment Strategy (RIS1). We are pleased that Highways England continues to take a consultative approach to this important scheme. The need to support growth must also be carefully balanced with environmental and social impacts given the setting of existing and proposed routes.
