  • 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.
