Nearly 1,500 properties could be lost to the sea

WITHIN 100 years, almost 1,500 properties could be lost to the sea along the West Sussex coastline, with the most vulnerable areas stretching from Pagham to East Head.

The Environment Agency has pinpointed more than 2,200 houses and businesses in the low-lying areas that could flood in the area each year as sea levels rise.

Now plans to tackle floods and erosion risks along the West Sussex coastline have been developed by the environment agency in partnership with Chichester and Arun District Councils.
