Core Strategy Consultation on Strategy Directions 2008

Representation ID: 19460

Received: 24/02/2009

Respondent: Fairlight Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Coastal Erosion / Landslip / Unstable Land
This appears not to be mentioned in the main text. Flood Risk is dealt with at Para 12.38. Erosion etc should receive equal prominence. Rother District Council has had responsibilities in this matter as the Coast Protection Authority.
Although erosion etc affects fewer people than flood the consequences are usually more drastic, resulting in the total loss of properties without compensation. Fairlight has been affected by the loss of properties in Rockmead Road and, earlier, in Sea Road.
