Research commissioned by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries & Food (MAFF), now Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) in the 1990’s identified 11 major, or macro, sediment cells around the coast of England and Wales (Hydraulics Research Ltd, 1993). 1.1.2 These macro sediment cells were further divided into sub-cells, each regarded as functioning more or less independently in terms of sediment transport. Sub-cells are generally accepted as the most appropriate and more manageable units for the consideration of natural processes. 1.1.3 A Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) is a non-statutory document that offers guidance at a strategic level, designed to assist coastal defence decision making over a 100 year time period. It aims to identify sustainable coastal defence strategic options, taking account of the influence and needs of both the natural environment and the human built environment. 1.1.4 A SMP should set out the policies and broad objectives for the future management of a defined coastal unit, developed in consultation with all interested parties. Its formulation involves the collection and assessment of information on coastal processes and other human and environmental aspects of the coastal zone. A SMP should also provide an agreed framework within which individual member authorities can address coastal defence priorities and provide details of schemes for their own particular stretch of shoreline. 1.1.5 Defra has policy responsibilities for flood and coastal defence in England. However, delivery is the responsibility of a number of flood and coastal defence “operating authorities” (i.e. the Environment Agency, local authorities and internal drainage boards). Responsibilities differ according to the type of authority and its statutory powers (e.g. only local authorities have the powers to carry out coast protection schemes and studies). 1.1.6 The delivery of SMPs is achieved through operating authorities in coastal cells working collaboratively in regional coastal groups, but with designated “Lead Authorities” taking a project management role and making any necessary applications (for grant etc). - 4 - Poole & Christchurch Bays SMP2 Scoping Report 1.2 Poole & Christchurch Bay SMP2 (Hurst Spit to Durlston Head) 1.2.1 The first round of SMP for this area was carried out in the 1990s in accordance with MAFF (now Defra) Flood Management Division’s high-level policy. 1.2.2 At the time of the original SMP studies, Defra guidance suggested that SMPs be reviewed and, if necessary, updated approximately every 5 years. It is now 8 years since the completion of the 1st Poole & Christchurch Bay SMP. 1.2.3 In March 2005, Defra issued new High Level Targets for Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management. Target 3 requires designated Lead Authorities to produce second generation SMPs in accordance with revised Defra guidance. HLT3 requires the revised plans to be complete by March 2010. 1.2.4 First generation SMPs were developed on the information available at the time. During the preparation of many first round SMPs nationally, it became apparent that the quality and extent of information available was deficient in certain aspects, particularly informing how the coast would evolve. 1.2.5 Since the completion of the original SMP, there is now significant new information resulting from strategic studies, coastal monitoring, coastal defence schemes, changes in environmental designations etc. Furthermore, there have been significant nationally focused studies such as Future Coast and new indicative coastal flood mapping that need to be taken into consideration. Defra has also produced updated guidance on how to produce Shoreline Management Plans, the latest of which was published in March 2006. 1.2.6 It is, therefore, appropriate that the SMP is reviewed

  • 10 Rook Hill Road, Friars Cliff, Christchurch, Dorset, BH23 4DZ PRICE: ‘OIEO’ £900,000
    10 Rook Hill Road, Friars Cliff, Christchurch, Dorset, BH23 4DZ PRICE: ‘OIEO’ £900,000 Rook Hill Road is arguably one of the best roads road in the heart of Friars Cliff with its award winning sandy beaches just yards away. A most attractive chalet style property, set in its own well tended grounds approaching a third of an acre. The property was one of the first homes to be built here and has been in the hands of the same family since new. Over recent times as nearby homes have been sold, they have been subject to much refurbishment or even complete re-build, creating much larger properties designed to personal tastes. We feel that the sale of this property would suit this purpose very well subject to the usual planning constraints. Christchurch town centre is under 3 miles away with its mainline train station giving access to London Waterloo in under two hours. Interest in this sale is likely to be very high and we strongly advise early inspection to avoid disappointment. Plot dimensions. Width 20m, 65ft. Depth 54.5m 178.9 ft. Total plot size just under 1/3 acre. Entrance into the property via a porch and a further obscure glazed door into the inner hallway. There is flexible ground floor accommodation, immediately to your right upon entry is a dual aspect dining room with parquet flooring and brick built open fire place. There is a ground floor double bedroom located on the front of the property, and a very pleasant triple aspect living room to the other side of the property and running front to back.

  • Obituary. T. D. Atkinson, F.R.I.B.A. Thomas Dinham
    PAPER'S AND PROCEEDINGS 173 OBITUARY. T. D. ATKINSON, F.R.I.B.A. HOMAS DINHAM. ATKINSON died on the 29th of December 1948, aged 84. Architect, antiquary and author, This greatness lay even more in the power of his personality than in the quiet competence of his work in many fields. Although widely learned in several departments of archaeology, he possessed true humility and a whimsical wit, often turned against his own foibles. His classical outlook belonged more to the 18th than the. 19th century, but he was inspired by deep feeling uncommon in the Age of Taste. Injustice moved him to fierce indignation and he could be stern with folly, but he met life with kindness, generosity and nobility of spirit. Aided by an exceptional memory, he methodically amassed architectural facts under subject headings during a period of well over' half-a-century ; these extensive- collections now belong to the Society of Antiquaries; Local Style in English Architecture, published' in the last year of his life, summarised part of this garnered treasure as an introduction to the more detailed treatment he had projected, and for which " The Sources of Hampshire Architecture in Past Times " {Proceedings, Hants Field Club, XV, pt. 2) and " Local Character in the Ancient Architecture' • of Cambridgeshire" {Proceedings, Cambridge Antiquarian Society, XL) were drafts. Among his many, other published works, the great Architectural History of the Benedictine Monastery, at Ely (1933) takes pride of place, but Hampshire should treasure his Survey of the Street Architecture of Winchester (1934), an outstanding record and work of catholic appreciation which ought perpetually to be had in remembrance—and in.print.
