LP_21_2.2

Undertake detailed studies, investigations and monitoring into feasibility of managed realignment policy at Dale, including social-economic assessment, assessment of impacts on the community and natural environment, consideration of location and extent of realignment and potential benefits with respect to the existing amenity beach. Community engagement will be undertaken to identify alternative coastal erosion and flood risk management options (including wide ranging adaptation options) and alternative funding options if it is not possible to justify public investment in coastal erosion and flood risk management.

To contact and engage with private landowners, landowners/developers of industrial (and former industrial) sites, docks, ports, and harbours on a priority basis, to ensure that they are informed about the Shoreline Management Plan. This should also consider implications related to contamination risks where appropriate (4.1 Aberthaw; 8.5 Baglan Burrows; 12.11 Burry Port east (Tywyn Bach to the slipway); and areas identified within the NRW Landfill Report 2024). Additionally, where a management plan is in place or in production, ensure that the Shoreline Management Plan and Action Plan is updated accordingly.

This assessment should also holistically identify key decision makers and stakeholders (DCWW, Network Rail, Local planning authorities, highway authority etc.) and appropriate methods of engagement. [Once identified, this information should be provided to the Wales Coastal Group Forum to inform a Strategic Plan for Coastal Adaptation. Additionally, upon creation of a Strategic Plan for Coastal Adaptation if needed, the identified sites should develop a more detailed sitespecific communication strategy, included within this action plan as new local level actions with the appropriate member leading].
