As regards managing flood risk, the building of barriers is not an ideal solution. This is now amply demonstrated at Rye, where the flood prevention scheme implemented along Strand Quay in particular, visually and functionally cuts the town off from its maritime past. It is an intrusive and alien feature, which is harmful to the historic townscape. Alternative methods of flood control and flood management should be encouraged.
