The Fairbourne Masterplan
Wh What at is is the the Ma Maste sterplan? It is a researched, planned process to decommission the village, over a long period of time. Why use the term ‘decommissioning’? Decommissioning is a general term for a formal process to remove something from an active status.
Wh Why do do we we need need to to do do this? this? Irrespective of the Shoreline Management Plan (2), the effects of natural processes are happening in Fairbourne and due to its location, these effects are not easily managed. Because we are now aware of these affects – we have to do something to support the future of the village. This is not a simple task and does not involve one single solution. We have, therefore, called it a Masterplan.
Wh Why do do we we need need to to do do this? this? Our commitment to defend the village for 40 years from 2014 (dependant upon the evidence available at the time when the SMP2 was written) still stands. Nothing has changed. But we have to plan for what we know will happen. This plan will be flexible enough to take account of – and respond to – changes in scientific information as it becomes available. This means certain aspects of the plan may not happen for some considerable time. However, if we continue to experience storms and weather such as those we’ve seen recently, we may need to bring certain aspects of that plan forward.
Leading Leading the the way way…. There are no templates for such a Masterplan, no precedents set. This means we’ll be faced with huge challenges and problems. We need to work with others to find the solutions. A great deal of these challenges, we are not even aware of yet and this is why we need your help here today.
