Undertake community engagement to develop coastal erosion and flood risk management plans which are ideally supported by the local community . This will involve consideration of alternative coastal erosion and flood risk management options (including wide ranging adaptation options) and alternative funding options where it is not possible to justify public investment in coastal erosion and flood risk management. Issues to be considered may include: the access road to Swanbridge East, holiday parks at Lavernock Point and St Mary's Well Bay and residential properties at St Mary's Well Bay, improved flood warning, individual property flood protection/resilience, relocation of properties, provision of an alternative access road to Swanbridge East and other adaptation and mitigation measures.

On Hold - resource contraints 10/2022 SCBCEG; No change since 2020. Action linked to wider Carmarthen Bay and estuaries action identified as a priority (6th of 6) by coastal group. Delivery of action highly dependent on collection of appropriate monitoring data. At present a comprehensive data collection programme has not been scoped and should be considered as a new action for delivery in Epoch 2 or given appropriate management triggers. The current WCMC programme is not funded to deliver datasets covering the entire system, e.g. bathymetric data and LiDAR, as part of a strategic monitoring programme. The Pan-Wales LiDAR programme currently being flown may provide a baseline but further repeat surveys will be required to determine change within the system. Additional site specific monitoring at shorter temporal and spatial scales may also be required. The coastal group considers the ongoing development of a comprehensive monitoring programme critical to support future delivery of this objective.

Action was identified as a priority (6th of 6) in the 2018 SCBCEG lead action prioritisation workshop but further work required to identify areas where additional monitoring required and seek appropriate funding.
