  • CCATCH – the Solent
    !∀ #∃ % # !∀ #∃ % # &∋ # (( )∗(+,−( CCATCH – The Solent Evaluation of the Beaulieu to Calshot Pathfinder A report by Dr Anthony Gallagher and Alan Inder to Hampshire County Council February 2012 ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides an analysis and evaluation of the CCATCH – Beaulieu to Calshot Pathfinder project; the aim being to draw out the lessons learned and areas of best practice so as to inform the wider CCATCH - the Solent project, as well as the Interreg IVa funded CC2150 and Beyond. The methods employed to gather data included interviewing the key stakeholders involved in the process as well as the engagement consultants who facilitated it. This was supplemented by carrying out a public survey to gauge the project awareness and to interview the project managers of several other coastal adaptation projects, so as to enable a comparison with the work being carried out elsewhere. The results are generally very supportive of the approach taken and the tools and techniques employed during the Pathfinder, though highlighting with some clear room for improvement and consideration. On the basis that the selection of the area and the need for the project has already been established, the lessons learned relate inter alia to the application of stakeholder engagement and the commitment to implement identifiable actions; where engagement relates to its use both at the outset of the project and as a part of a developed on-going network beyond the lifetime of the funding. Commitment to following through with specific actions identified as part of the Adaptation Plan could then be implemented. In order to agree the Plan, and identify actions, it was clear that there was a need for specialist skills, and that these had been available for the Pathfinder.

  • Solent Nutrient Advice
    Version 2 – June 2020 Natural England SUMMARY ADVICE ON ACHIEVING NUTRIENT NEUTRALITY FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOLENT REGION SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The water environment within the Solent region is one of the most important for wildlife in the United Kingdom. There are high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus (FAQ7) input to this water environment with sound evidence that these nutrients are polluting protected sites. 1.2 Through their wastewater effluent; future developments have the potential to make these impacts worse. Nutrient neutrality is one way of ensuring that development does not add to the existing nutrient load and this provides the certainty needed to meet the legal framework (FAQ1). 1.3 This summary report sets out how to calculate nutrient neutrality for developments within Solent catchments. It is accompanied by a Frequently Asked Questions (Annex A) and links to these questions are included throughout this report. 1.4 The type and location of each development will confirm whether nutrient neutrality is needed (FAQ2). If nutrient neutrality is required, a 4 stage process can be completed, as summarised below in Figure 1. This approach focusses on developments that drain to the mains network. If the development drains to non- mains systems e.g. Package Treatment Plants (PTP) then a bespoke calculation for Stage 1 is required (FAQ3). 1.5 This methodology is based on best available scientific knowledge, and will be subject to revision as further evidence is obtained. It has been developed as a pragmatic tool however for each aspect there is a degree of uncertainty. It is our advice to local planning authorities to take a precautionary approach in line with existing legislation and case-law when addressing uncertainty and calculating nutrient budgets.
