Anglian Coastal Monitoring Programme Report 2013/2014 Anglian Coastal Monitoring 2013/14 programme Report - RP043/A/2014 April 2014 Title here in 8pt Arial (change text colour to black) i We are the Environment Agency. We protect and improve the environment and make it a better place for people and wildlife. We operate at the place where environmental change has its greatest impact on people’s lives. We reduce the risks to people and properties from flooding; make sure there is enough water for people and wildlife; protect and improve air, land and water quality and apply the environmental standards within which industry can operate. Acting to reduce climate change and helping people and wildlife adapt to its consequences are at the heart of all that we do. We cannot do this alone. We work closely with a wide range of partners including government, business, local authorities, other agencies, civil society groups and the communities we serve.

The rationale behind the programme is to assist the implementation of appropriate and sustainable works on the coast, whether these are works undertaken by the EA or coastal protection partners, for the purpose of flood and erosion risk management. In addition, a further output from the monitoring programme is the assessment of coastal dynamics to inform long-term strategic plans for the coastline. Survey data gathered as part of the ACM is available from the SMG and can be requested by emailing [email protected]. 1.2 2013/14 surveys This is the third year of Phase 8 of the Anglian Coastal Monitoring programme, which runs from 2011 to 2016. 2011-12 was considered to be a baseline year for aerial photography and topographic survey coverage, and 2012-13 a baseline for LiDAR surveys. This report provides an overview of survey data collected during 2013-14. The following surveys were carried out as part of the programme this year: • aerial photography; • LiDAR; • hydrodynamics; • hydrographics; • topographic transect and spot height surveys. Alongside descriptions of data types and survey extents, this report provides information on data resolution and quality control (QC) of the datasets described therein. The Anglian coast is monitored on a strategic, regional basis, consisting of five regions (Lincolnshire, The Wash, Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex) and fitting within the Shoreline Management Plan boundaries of the Anglian coast. Due to the dynamic nature of the coast and the associated risk management, monitoring on a more local scale varies on an annual basis; therefore, the Anglian coast is divided into a series of monitoring cells. These monitoring cells allow for different surveys (or intensity of surveys depending on coastal risk, project and management activity or areas of geomorphological interest requiring particular attention) to be undertaken on a localised basis. These divisions help with programme planning, data management and allows for flexibility in the monitoring programme. Monitoring cells referred to in this document are listed in Table 1.1 (overleaf).

The red outlines denote partnering authority boundaries. Anglian Coastal Monitoring 2013/14 programme 3 2 Aerial photography An aerial photography survey covering the coastline is flown every summer. The photography is 4-band colour and infra-red (RGBi) imagery delivered as .ecw files. The photography is orthorectified to tie the imagery to real-world coordinates. This allows photographs to be displayed as a continuous image mosaic in a Geographic Information System (GIS). The 2013 vertical aerial photography survey (PM_1446) was captured over eleven sorties on the 25th June, and then from 5th to 9th July and the 12th, 13th and 15th of July 2013. The coast was captured in discrete frontages; the assigned polygon numbers for these sections is described in Table 2.1 below. Data was captured across 27 survey polygons P_9066 to P-9090 and P_9101 to P_9102 but has been collated and supplied as regional frontages of Essex, Lincolnshire, north Norfolk, Norfolk Suffolk and The Wash. The individual image files cover 1 km tiles and are available at a 70% or 90% compression rate. The imagery was captured with a Leica RCD30 multi-spectral camera with synchronous LiDAR captured for orthorecification using Optech Gemini systems. The imagery has a 20 cm resolution. For instrument and flight specifics and data processing refer to the QC report (requested from [email protected]). Aerial photography coverage for 2013-14 is shown in Figures 7.1 to 7.5 and further details are given in Table 2.1 (overleaf).

SEBALD’S THE RINGS OF SATURN TORLEIF PERSSON The prose fiction of W. G. Sebald exhibits a curious flatness. The source of this defining quality is what the narrator of The Emigrants calls the “wrongful trespass” of empathetic or emotional identification with the victims of historical calamity (29). The resulting narrative distance is a familiar hallmark of Sebald’s style, realized in his writing through an almost seamless intermingling of fact, fiction, allusion, and recall—a “literary monism”—that fuses different narrative temporalities, superimposes the global on the local, and assimilates a wide range of source materials and intertextual content (McCulloh 22). Two broad responses might be discerned in respect to this particular aspect of Sebald’s writing. The first questions the ethical commitment of a style that is unable to make any kind of moral distinction.

Local Planning Authority: Waveney District Council National Grid reference: TM 521828 Area: 735.33ha Ordnance Survey Sheet: 156 1:10,000: TM57 NW, TM 58NW, TM 58 SW Previous Notification Date: 7 September Notification Date: 8 December (under 1981 Act) 1989 2005 Reasons for Notification: Pakefield to Easton Bavents is nationally important for the geological exposures of the Lower Pleistocene Norwich Crag Formations and associated Pleistocene vertebrate assemblages, and the coastal geomorphology of Benacre Ness. The site is also nationally important for its vegetated shingle features, saline lagoons, flood-plain fens, an assemblage of nationally rare and nationally scarce vascular plants, scarce breeding birds, four breeding bird assemblages in four different habitats and wintering bitterns Botaurus stellaris. General description: Geology The two low cliffs between Easton Broad and Southwold provide excellent exposures of the three major elements of the Norwich Crag Formation; the Crag itself (Chillesford Church Member), the Baventian Clay (Easton Bavents Member) and the Westleton Beds (Westleton Member). This is the type locality for the Baventian Cold Stage. The stratigraphical relationship of the Antian to the Bramertonian stage and of the Baventian to the Pre-Pastonian
