The brief

The approach is to produce a forward-looking flood defence strategy for Strood that defines the preferred investment pathway for effective and sustainable coastal flood risk management.

This work will build on the overarching Hold the Line policy through to 2118, setting out a clear and evidence-based approach to safeguarding Strood’s communities and supporting future regeneration by providing resilience against tidal flooding up to the 1 in 200-year return period event.

This should be achieved by drawing on the extensive data and analysis generated, ensuring continuity, efficiency, and consistency in the evidence base that will underpin recommendations.

This should draw upon the following to set the strategic direction for investment: •2016 Strood Flood Defence Strategy; •the wider 2019 Medway Estuary and Swale Strategy; and •the 2021 sub-model update and appraisal work.

The 2024 North Kent Coast Model (and Strood sub-model), bathymetric and LiDAR datasets, property and development datasets (such as NRD), as well as asset information from the Environment Agency and LLFAs to ensure a comprehensive and data-driven foundation for the appraisal should be utilised.
