After which, active management would be reduced, eventually allowing the shingle formation to return to a more natural form.
As a result, the opening of the Dane Stream would be rerouted, and access to Hurst Castle reconsidered.
The walls around the quay at Keyhaven would also be raised and strengthened over time.
This approach has the aim to reduce flood risk to properties and infrastructure.
The strategy for managing flood and coastal risk between Hurst Spit and Lymington over the next 100 years is currently being developed by the Environment Agency, in partnership with New Forest District Council, Hampshire County Council, Natural England and JBA Consulting.
As well as a number of public engagement sessions, the coastal strategy team has been meeting with key stakeholders including English Heritage, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, RSPB and the team steering the neighbouring strategy covering Christchurch Bay and harbour.
The public have until January 11th 2025 to have a say on the draft proposals.
