Stallingborough Phase 3 Sea Defence Improvements - revetment works near completion

The 3rd year of construction activities commenced early in March, with consent from Natural England. The four small rock amour in-fill areas are due to be installed later this summer. This will complete the defence revetment works.

The access track to the outfall of New Cut Drain has been completed, and the design to cross over the Anglian Water main sewers has been approved. The installation is expected to be completed by the Autumn. At Oldfleet Drain the design of the overflow has been developed collaboratively with key stakeholders and the construction of the access track to the outfall is underway. The MMO have given the required consents for the desilting work to start using a dredging barge.

The funding contribution from National Highways has been received and this should enable additional resilience works to the outfalls to be undertaken within the project. The project will be able to ensure no net loss to biodiversity through the planting of an enhanced seed mix along some of the landward berm. The project team also continue to explore the possibility of further environmental enhancement of the adjacent saltmarsh.
