December 2009 EB077 Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the South Essex Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the South Essex CFMP area and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The South Essex CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for England flooding. Tidal flooding from the North Sea and the and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have assessed inland estuaries, affects Burnham-on-Crouch, North and South flood risk across all of England and Wales for the first Fambridge, South Woodham Ferrers, Purfleet, Tilbury and time. The CFMP considers all types of inland flooding, Canvey Island. The lower reaches of the rivers Crouch, from rivers, ground water, surface water and tidal Horndon, Mardyke and Roach are also influenced by flooding, but not flooding directly from the sea (coastal tides.

A resident for six years, Ian’s contribution to the Community extended beyond the Neighbourhood Development Plan into the local branch of the RNLI, Senior Men’s Forum, Walking Group, Bowls Club, Allotments Association and as a volunteer driver for the Knightswood Day Centre – all of these whilst bravely and resolutely fighting skin cancer. Ian’s determination not to give in to his illness and for he and Jane to carry on with their lives, as best they could, is an example of personal courage to us all. Ian was highly respected, will be sadly missed, but always remembered by his friends and colleagues. Rest in Peace Ian.

It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 3.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

ITE con- tributes to and draws upon the collective knowledge of the fourteen sister institutes which make up the Natural Environment Research Council, spanning all the environmental sciences. The Institute studies the factors determining the structure, composition and processes of land and freshwater systems, and of individual plant and animal species. It is developing a sounder scien- tific basis for predicting and modelling environ- mental trends arising from natural or man-made change. The results of this research are available to those responsible for the protection, manage- ment and wise use of our natural resources. Nearly half of ITE's work is research commis- sioned by customers, such as the Nature Conser- vancy Council who require information for wild- life conservation, the Forestry Commission and INSTITUTE OF the Department of the Environment.
