Description

The aim of this project is to create comprehensive maps of development within 10 km of the Humber Estuary Special Protection Area (SPA) to provide an overview of changes and trends in land use and availability of potential functionally linked land. 
This will involve creating maps of where and when new development (as defined in the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended)) (excluding householder applications under permitted development rights) has occurred outside existing urban areas within a 10 km radius of the Humber Estuary since designation of the SPA in 2007. The maps should also include key information, as outlined in the Project Specification. 
The results will be included in a written summary report and findings will also be communicated via a 1-hour webinar (or similar) for the Natural England project steering group and other interested parties. 
The contract is anticipated to start on 04/09/2023 for a period of approximately 6 months, until 29/02/2024.

Stronger Shores Toolkit

The Stronger Shores project is part of the Environment Agency's flood and coastal resilience innovation programme (FCRIP), and aims to: • Improve understanding of the costs and benefits of sub-tidal kelp, seagrass and native oyster habitats regarding coastal erosion, flood risk, climate change, biodiversity management and wider benefits. • Identify innovative methods for modelling, monitoring, restoring and protecting these habitats, which are relevant in the context of the wider UK coastline. • Address the existing evidence gaps and provide a blueprint for flood risk management authorities to follow when considering the role of marine nature-based solutions in future coastline management strategies, including improved Natural Capital Accounting data. • Maximise opportunities for partnership and community involvement in the development, implementation and future management of actions. This contract is for the creation and management of the Stronger Shores toolkit and associated works as detailed in the brief document, in addition to the creation and collation of content from Stronger Shores outputs. These will include collected data, lessons learnt, and academic reports. This toolkit will be public facing but will be intended for flood and coastal erosion risk managers and coastal practitioners, including natural capital/ ecosystems services data, and guidance on habitat protection and restoration, with the toolkit as the main project output.
