Beach Recharge in Sussex & East Kent
BEACH RECHARGE IN SUSSEX & EAST KENT: A PRELIMINARY INVENTORY & OVERVIEW Compiled by R. Williams, edited by C. Moses. Not to be quoted without permission 1 Introduction .......................................................................................................................1 2 Inventory of beach recharge schemes ..............................................................................5 3 Notes and sources ............................................................................................................9 4 Conclusion ......................................................................................................................17 5 References......................................................................................................................21 1 Introduction Sand and shingle are being lost from many beaches in Sussex and Kent as a result of natural coastal processes as well as ill-designed sea defence and coastal protection schemes. To counteract falling beach levels, the Environment Agency and local authorities are increasingly resorting to “topping-up” the beaches with additional sand and shingle.

Cabinet Delegated Decision Meeting Date Report Title Portfolio Holder
Cabinet Delegated Decision Meeting Date Monday 18 March 2013 Report Title Seasalter Levels – CPO Delegation Portfolio Holder Cllr G Lewin SMT Lead Pete Raine Head of Service James Freeman Lead Officer Gill Harris Key Decision No Classification Open Forward Plan Reference number: Recommendations 1. That SBC agree to delegate authority to Canterbury City Council to Compulsory Purchase Order the Whitstable Bay Estate area in the Swale Borough Council area. Purpose of Report and Executive Summary 1.1 The purpose of this report is to agree to delegate authority to Canterbury City Council to Compulsory Purchase Order the Whitstable Bay Estate area which falls in the Swale Borough Council area. A multi-agency partnership has made substantial progress in resolving long-standing problems at Seasalter, and acquiring land and transferring the management of that land to RSPB. The final stage of the strategy to acquire the land is for the Partnership to confirm and implement a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO). Canterbury City Council (CCC) is undertaking the CPO and along with the RSPB are funding the process. The principal of this has previously been agreed through the Partnership Agreement. 2 Background 2.1 The Seasalter and Graveney Levels form part of the North Kent grazing marsh, which stretches from Whitstable in the east to Gravesend on the Thames Estuary in the west, including the Medway estuary and the Isle of Sheppey. The Seasalter Levels is an area of approximately 500 hectares of coastal marshland to the south west of Whitstable. They form part of an internationally important site for nature conservation and include a number of scheduled ancient monuments.
