The EA, LAs and the Humber LEP will work in partnership to support sustainable development and a prosperous Humber.

We will do this by redefining the strategic approach to managing tidal flood risk on the Humber for our communities and the Country, setting the way forward for the next 100 years taking into account predicted sea level rise and climate change

Strategic Approach comparison

Preferred scenario

Current workstream activities & next steps • Engineering: Study into geotechnical and geophysical information on defence and ground materials is proceeding; future monitoring approach is being considered • Economics: Deciding on the future approach to Benefit Apportionment for the project, drawing as best we can on previous work done for Hull; looking at how Natural Capital can be played into the Economics assessment, and at the way the Ecosystems Services assessment will be undertaken; how we link benefits; Growth paper in preparation • Funding & Investment: Agreeing approach to developing a funding strategy with partners; discussed initial funding ideas and criteria for evaluating these; alignment with Local Plans • Environmental: Next stage of Landscape and Investment Study under way; new assessment of the extent of habitat loss is under way (and links with national coastal squeeze project); looking at how to address achieving Good Ecological Potential. • Engagement: Reviewing the engagement plan; website; wider awareness-raising that the review is underway.

Implications for/from SMP Refresh Humber Monitoring Strategy

Update on 2018-19 progress Rationale and survey methods To support the implementation of the HFRMS & provide data to inform decisions relating to flood and coastal defence works and environmental management;

Data can also be used to further our understanding of estuarine processes, sea level rise within the estuary and its impacts on flood risk and habitat availability.

Primarily LiDAR, bathymetry and orthographical photography capture, linked to other monitoring data (e.g. geophysical defence integrity and WFD surveys). 18-19 programme Aerial photography July ‘18 wash over On the ground… On the ground…..

Marine licencing

● Formal written support from NE > No Likely Significant Effect (LSE) ● Sweetman v An Bord Pleanala (C-258/11) ● any permanent loss, regardless of size of the loss, would result in an adverse effect on site integrity ● MMO concluded that if the project would need to proceed through Appropriate Assessment Stage to Article 6(4) derogation including “imperative reasons of overriding public interest” (IROPI).

Marine licencing

● Natural England confirm that: ○ the habitat is not functioning as Annex I reef; ○ this area makes no contribution to the overall structure and function of the site; ○ does not contribute to the overall conservation objectives of the site, and; ○ would not be included in their condition assessment of the SAC.

Impacts so far

● Delay in award of Marine License by 7 months (and counting) ● Missing a construction window shifting work back to April 2019 ● Increase in cost for securing the Marine License by £6000 ● Increase in construction cost by £100k due to inflation ● Reputations

Options going forward

● Wait for licence determination ● Actively determine LSE and proceed with IROPI

South Withernsea Coastal Defence Scheme Richard Jackson - Senior Sustainable Communities and Coast Officer Neil McLachlan - Senior Coastal Engineer The East Riding coast

• The East Riding coast is almost entirely within the Flamborough Head to Gibraltar Point Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) area.

8 miles defended, • As lead authority in the development of the SMP, East 29 miles undefended. Riding of Yorkshire Council worked with North East Lincolnshire Council, East Lindsey District Council, Lincolnshire County Council, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the National Farmers’ Union and English Heritage. The SMP was approved by all partners and Defra in 2011

• The majority of the East Riding coastline is under a ‘no active intervention’ policy, with only the coastal towns of , Hornsea, Mappleton and Withernsea, and the nationally important gas infrastructure at Easington, defended. = site of sea defence Withernsea

• The town of Withernsea is situated 17 miles east of Hull. It has a population of approximately 6,400.

• The town remains a popular tourist location, with a large proportion of the towns economy being reliant on the accommodation and hospitality sector.

• Withernsea is classified as a deprived town, with just 0.43 jobs for every working age person. A number of projects have been undertaken, or are underway, to regenerate the town, however coastal erosion at the south end of the town has led to a sense of abandonment.

Scheme Options Option 1: No Scheme

• The existing defences would not be extended and coastal erosion would continue unhindered. • Loss of residential properties, businesses, Holmpton Road and Hollym Road (A1033) within the next 100 years. Option 2: Extend existing defences by 300m

• Existing 100m terminal structure realigned to the base of the cliff and a 300m rock armour extension put in place. Estimated cost of £4m • Would only negligibly prolong the lifespan of Holmpton Road. Some business assets would also be lost. Option 3: Extend existing defences by 400m

• Existing 100m terminal structure realigned to the base of the cliff and a 400m rock armour extension put in place. Estimated cost of £5.2m

Scheme Options

Option 3: Extend existing defences by 400m

• Existing 100m terminal structure realigned to the base of the cliff and a 400m rock armour extension put in place. Estimated cost of £5.2m

Option 3 is the preferred option

• Protects approximately 59 residential properties and 300 holiday chalets and static caravans.

• Extends the lifespan of Holmpton Road, allowing continued access between Withernsea and Hollym, Holmpton and Easington to the south.

• Extends the lifespan of Hollym Road (A1033) in the long-term.

However…

• Significant external funding must be secured in order for the scheme to go ahead. SMP Policy

Summary

• Erosion rates to the south of Withernsea have increased beyond expectations in recent years.

• The Council proposes to extend the existing defences southwards by 400m to protect residential and business properties, and to extend the lifespan of two strategically important roads.

• This is in line with SMP policy in order to prevent outflanking and to sustain Withernsea as a viable town and seaside resort.
