Scheme Cost and Benefit

The benefits of the scheme include:

• Better protection from flooding of people and properties in Sanway.
• Improved recreational access to Common Meadows and Manor Farm.
• Biodiversity and habitat improvements.

Based on current information, we anticipate the scheme will cost in the region of £20 million to £22 million. The cost of the scheme includes:

• Detailed design and planning application (including further surveys).
• Construction of the scheme.
• Maintenance of the scheme over the next 100 years.
• Contingency allowance for increases in costs as the scheme develops.

The Environment Agency, Surrey County Council, the Regional Flood and Coastal Committee and the national government are all making considerable contributions to the scheme.
