It sets out the background to the CHaMPs initiative and provides a brief discussion of the key assumptions that have been used in determining habitat change over the 100 year period covered by this Plan. Volume II of the CHaMP provides a detailed analysis of predicted geomorphological and habitat change within the study area and it is recommended that this report is consulted for additional context and explanation of the figures and data presented in Volume I Marine GI Data Natural England Natural England +44 (0)300 060 3900 +44 (0)300 060 2356 Foss House, Kings Pool, 1-2 Peasholme Green York YO1 7PX enquiries@naturalengland.org.uk originator Marine GI Data Natural England Natural England +44 (0)300 060 3900 +44 (0)300 060 2356 Foss House, Kings Pool, 1-2 Peasholme Green York YO1 7PX enquiries@naturalengland.org.uk custodian notPlanned Marine Environmental Data and Information Network Habitats and biotopes GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-01-06 revision Habitat characterisation SeaDataNet P021 parameter discovery vocabulary 2009-11-16 revision OGL otherRestrictions OGL English biota SeaDataNet vertical extent keywords 2010-01-01 revision inapplicable -1.9409 -0.7928 50.6032 50.8778 2003-01-01 2021-11-08 Marine GI Data Natural England Natural England +44 (0)300 060 3900 +44 (0)300 060 2356 Foss House, Kings Pool, 1-2 Peasholme Green York YO1 7PX enquiries@naturalengland.org.uk distributor https://www.researchgate.net/publication/269402513_The_Solent_Coastal_Habitat_Management_Plan_Final_Report_Vol_1 Solent Coastal Habitat Management Plan Vol 1 A link to the web service or dataset http://https://www.researchgate.net/publication/269402590_The_Solent_Coastal_Habitat_Management_Plan_Final_Report_Vol_2 Solent Coastal Habitat Management Plan Vol 2 A link to the general host site dataset This is one of seven pilots prepared as part of the Living with the Sea LIFE Nature Project. It has been developed as a pilot for the interim CHaMP guidance, which was the first output of the Living with the Sea project. Lessons learnt during completion of this document have helped develop the finalised CHaMP guidance, to be issued by Defra in 2003. This CHaMP provides the first truly long-term evaluation of the implications of the Habitats Regulations for flood and coastal defence management policies in the Solent area. This CHaMP places our actions in the context of obligations under the Habitats Regulations, taking account of coastal geomorphology. It does not take decisions, but rather it provides a science based forecast of the next 30 to 100 years of coastal change driven by sea level rise, the forces of nature and our coastal management decisions. It uses best available data in its evaluation and reinforces the importance of further coastal monitoring to better inform future reviews. It is Defra policy, set out in the guidance to second generation Shoreline Management Plans, that the information provided in this CHaMP must be taken into account when the SMP is revised. This is to help ensure that, as far as possible, the revised SMP complies with the requirements of the Habitats Regulations. However, in doing so you should be aware of the following points: • The full CHaMP mapped data is available on a separate CD ROM that uses a Geographic Information System. This should be viewed over licensed Ordnance Survey map data. • Within the constraints of this project it has not been possible to confirm which freshwater coastal habitats can be sustainably protected in-situ. Further site-specific consultation with English Nature will be required during the SMP and strategy stages in combination with engineering and economic factors to confirm these details. • The forecast habitat losses to sites designated under the Habitats and Birds Directives could be consolidated to provide a programme for compensation habitat in the Solent area covering the next 30+ years. • A detailed schedule of habitat and feature monitoring could be developed to drive strategic monitoring programmes in the Solent area. The Living with the Sea Project will be producing summary reports addressing some of the generic areas of further study identified above. It may also be helpful to refer to these when preparing SMPs. CHaMPs in combination with other project outputs such as ‘Coastal Habitat Restoration-a Guide to Good Practice’ will help us deliver our policies on sustainable coastal defences and habitats
