Adaptation Plan
The Adaptation Plan for the Slapton Line Partnership was in 2023 and outlines at a high level the vision, mission, strategic goals, objectives and proposed actions for adapting to life on Start Bay without Slapton Line.
This Adaptation Plan framework has been created by the Slapton Line Partnership through a co-creation workshop with all partners, a series of one-to-one conversations with all representatives on the Partnership, and public engagement sessions following the storms events of 2018.
The next step is to understand how the goals of the Adaptation Plan can be delivered, by working in partnership with the local community to collectively agree on-the-ground actions to manage change and adapt to create climate resilient communities.
Community engagement for adaptation
The following series of poster presentations were made for the community engagement sessions following damage from Storm Emma in 2018. The sessions were used to help educate the local community about the complex coastal processes that are leading to the loss of Slapton Line, and to understand what local people and business need for successful adaptation. All of the information collected through these engagement sessions have been used to create the Adaptation Plan.

Coast path access and adaptation planning
A number of responsible authorities and Slapton Line Partners are working to proactively manage and ensure the future for the stretch of coast path that runs alongside Slapton Line.
