The Tide Is Turning: Coastal Protection Restrictions Outlined in Shoreline Management Plan

I attended the SMP’s Consultation , which considers the future for Sea Defences and the maintenance thereof. Within the Cowes West and Gurnard Ward the Plan suggests the following:

• Land to the West of Gurnard Luck: To continue No Active Intervention.

• Gurnard Luck (which includes Marsh Road): Hold the Line until 2025, and then No Active Intervention.

• Gurnard Cliff (which includes properties on the seaward side of Solent View Road and West of Shore Path): To continue No Active Intervention.

• Gurnard to Cowes Parade (Shore Path and land Eastward to Cowes Parade): Hold the line.
  Further information can be found on-line by visiting the www.coastalwight.gov.uk website.

I have undertaken an extensive letter-drop to the 150 households with shoreline frontages, and remind those affected the deadline to the consultation ends on 21st October 2010.
