The Environment Agency has recently finished consultation on its Thames Estuary 2100 (TE2100) Plan, which assesses increasing tidal flood risk in the Thames estuary floodplain over the century, and recommends actions to manage the increasing risk over that time. The Environment Agency findings show that the standard of protection provided by the tidal defences, is higher than previously anticipated. Under current climate change guidance the main estuary defences, maintained and renewed when necessary, will continue to protect estuary communities against tidal surges, that on average may only occur once in a 1,000 years, up to around 2070. The final TE2100 plan, which will direct future tidal flood risk management in the estuary, will be submitted to the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in the spring.
