Indeed, it is likely that in many areas future scenarios involve potential losses of large numbers of properties, many of which are currently afforded protection from flooding and erosion risks. This realisation has been important in setting mechanisms for prioritising future coastal defence works so that best use is made of the available funds.Īdditionally, there is an increasing awareness that in the face of climate change and sea level rise, it is often not appropriate (or possible) to ‘engineer’ solutions to flood and erosion risks. ![]() Indeed, national studies have concluded that, compared to the current level of spend per year, the total cost of replacing all coastal and flood defences over the next 50 years is between 50% and 100% more per year (MAFF, 2000 Richardson, 2002). The UK framework recognises that there are insufficient funds available to undertake all coastal defence works that can be economically justified on a simple benefit-cost assessment.
