River Itchen to Hamble Coastal Study

The River Itchen, Weston Shore, Netley and Hamble Coastal Study was completed in November 2011 with a focus on coastal erosion and flood risk within the study area. 

Initially, the study was designed to deliver a formal coastal defence strategy. However, due to a minimal need in the study area for coastal erosion or flood defence schemes, it was not considered appropriate to take the study forward to produce a strategy. 

The study is still a valuable resource, it:

• Provided technical input to the North Solent Shoreline Management Plan 2010 
• Will provide technical support for any future coastal projects and schemes
• Supports the hierarchy of plans that apply to the coastline
• Provides a potential starting point to review the need for a formal strategy
