tabling member printed	Lord Patten
uin	HL10504
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2018 answer text <p>Coastal erosion is a natural process that always has and will shape our coastline.</p><p> </p><p>In England, District Councils (known as Coastal Protection Authorities) lead on the management of coastal erosion risk in their areas. Since 1996, coastal protection authorities have collaborated locally with a range of other interested parties to develop Shoreline Management Plans (SMP) for their coastlines. These high level plans set out a top level policy framework to manage the risk of coastal change, covering three time periods of 20, 50 and 100 years, and recommend approaches to manage the local coastline. The Environment Agency (EA) has strategic oversight for the production and quality of SMPs, and over the next three years it will be funding a refresh of the plans by coastal authorities.</p><p> </p><p>In England, between 2015 and 2021, the Government plans to invest £885 million in projects to manage coastal erosion and better protect communities against flooding from the sea.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 22/10/2018 10:47:33 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
