We note that para 2.50 refers to defence improvements and a hold the line (HTL) policy. The HTL would refer to the shoreline management plan policy option of maintaining the existing coastal defences (rather than improvements). We have not been party to any discussions regarding such improvement works, although we appreciate this may be at an early stage. We would advise that TAN15: Development and Flood Risk states ".... government resources for flood and coastal defence are directed at reducing risks for existing development and are not available to provide defences in anticipation of future development...".

Noted. Text will be amended to clarify the approach in the RLDP.
