Update on Proposed Flood Defence and Gate
Update on Proposed Flood Defence
The Council have submitted a planning application for the Shoebury Common flood defence scheme under their reference 14/00298/BC3M.
Full details of this application can be viewed from the following link

The deadline for any member who wishes to write to the Council to express their view about this proposal is Thursday 20th March 2014.
Proposed Flood gate
The original site plan submitted by the Council in December 2013 indicated a proposed gap of 6.75M.
After consultation with the Council engineers, I am pleased to advise the new gap between the proposed seawalls to the east and west will be increased to 7.5M. This gap will provide a more than sufficient turning circle at the top of the cobbled ramp and will therefore not restrict or hinder our access to our slipway and to the cobbled ramp and beach.
