  • 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.

  • Cios SMP2 Summary Document
    Our coastline is changing The Isles of Scilly are a particularly unique and dramatic part of the British Isles, with coastal landscapes and seascapes that have been shaped by natural marine processes over geological timescales. Evolution of the shoreline is usually gradual but occasionally rapid and dramatic and it always involves change of some kind. This type of change often represents a threat to coastal communities. In the past, attempts have been made to stop the effect of erosion or flooding through the building of defences. Rates of erosion and incidents of flooding are expected to increase by the end of this century, because of increasing storms and rising sea levels brought about by climate change. Protecting our coastal communities in traditional ways will become increasingly difficult and costly. This document provides an overview of the Shoreline Management Plan Review (SMP2) for the Isles of Scilly. This forms part of the larger Cornwall and Isles of Scilly SMP2 (extending from Rame Head on the south coast to Hartland Point in the north) and covers the five inhabited islands, St Mary’s, St Martin’s, Tresco, Bryher and St Agnes. Over the last two years the first SMPs for the Isles of Scilly and Cornwall have been reviewed and updated, using the latest knowledge and with wider consultation. The end result is an updated Shoreline Management Plan (SMP2). The purpose of this summary document is to firstly provide an overview of the SMP process and its objectives and secondly to highlight issues specific to the Isles of Scilly SMP area and the important conclusions.

  • Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Landscape Character Study
    CORNWALL AND ISLES OF SCILLY LANDSCAPE CHARACTER STUDY Overview and Technical Report Final Report May 2007 Forward The Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Landscape Character Study 2005-2007 has been developed as a joint project between the local authorities in Cornwall, the National Trust and the AONB units of Cornwall, the Tamar Valley and the Isles of Scilly supported by the Countryside Agency (now Natural England). Diacono Associates in conjunction with White Consultants were appointed in 2005 to undertake a Landscape Character Assessment for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. This updates the Cornwall Landscape Assessment published in 1994. This report sets out the methodology by which Landscape Character Areas have been identified, based on Landscape Description Units, and brings together the main findings of the study including the initial consultation stages. Part of the study included an assessment of landscape sensitivity at the level of the Landscape Description Units. This aspect of the study is however to be the subject of further investigation and the findings set out in this report have not therefore been endorsed at this stage by the participating organisations. This report will form the basis of a number of areas of further research and investigation including landscape sensitivity, and seascape assessment as well as the further consultation on the draft Landscape Character Area Descriptions.
