Christchurch Bay and Harbour Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management (FCERM) Strategy Engagement - Phase 3
Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council (BCP) and New Forest District Council (NFDC) are working together with the Environment Agency to produce a new coastal Strategy. It will guide how the frontage from Hengistbury Head to Hurst Spit, encompassing Christchurch Harbour, may be sustainably managed for the next 100 years.
We have developed a phased approach to deliver the Christchurch Bay and Harbour Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Strategy (FCERM) by early 2024. It will identify where, when and broadly what type of works are needed to manage the risks of coastal flooding and erosion and what they may cost. It will also consider the effects of predicted climate change on coastal communities, including sea level rise and increased levels of storminess.
Phase 3 Engagement - 22 July 2022
We held a workshop with key stakeholders to:
To identify and collect stakeholder ideas for flood and coastal erosion risk management (FCERM) options along the Strategy frontage
To help set achievable expectations of viable options
To explore the opportunities and constraints along the Strategy frontage
To introduce the multicriteria scoring / appraisal approach that will be used to narrow down the long list measures to a short list
A full report of the outcomes of the workshop can be found here.
You can also read the results of our engagement in Phase 2 here. More information on Phase 1 and the full delivery of the Strategy can be viewed on the main engagement page here.
The Phase 3 engagement closed on 22 July 2022.
As the Strategy develops there will be further opportunities for people to get involved. All comments and opinions shared with us will be used to inform and develop the Strategy and it is anticipated that it will be adopted by early 2024. If you have any questions about the FCERM Strategy, please email coastal@bcpcouncil.gov.uk.
