532 Review of Shoebury Common Flood Defence Improvements
Scrutiny Comment for item 532
Business for item 532
Resolved:-

1. That the options review report, attached at Appendix 1 to the submitted report, be noted.

2. That the existing preferred option (Option 1) that was agreed by Cabinet on 5th November 2013 and at Council on 12th December 2013, is not progressed.

3. That Mott MacDonald be commissioned to develop a further range of options to provide coastal protection at Shoebury Common.

4. That the Council continue to liaise with stakeholder groups on the development of the project.

Reason for Decision

To identify a coastal protection scheme for Shoebury Common that will deliver the required standard of protection, protect the local environment, offer value for money and be acceptable to local residents and stakeholders.

Other Options

1. The Council considered a number of other options in the development of its previous preferred option and will need to do so again in order to comply with the Environment Agency's (EA) Project Appraisal Report process.

2. Not to progress with a coastal defence scheme. However, the area has been identified as a potential flood risk and the Council and EA have recognised the need to mitigate that risk.
