Pevensey to Eastbourne Phase 1 survey

Overview

The Pevensey Bay to Eastbourne Coastal Management Scheme aims to increase the resilience of homes, businesses and infrastructure between Cooden Beach and Holywell to coastal flooding and erosion over the next 100 years. 

It is one of the largest coastal flood risk projects in the country and is being delivered by the Environment Agency and Eastbourne Borough Council and working closely with a wide number of other key partner organisations. 

Please access this presentation to learn more, and then we invite you to complete our survey so that we can understand your views.
