Coastal Erosion Projection to 2105 (NCERM 2024)
What this layer shows
The Environment Agency's National Coastal Erosion Risk Mapping (2024): land projected to erode by 2105 if the Shoreline Management Plan policy is delivered, with the higher central sea level rise allowance. Distances are cumulative, in metres. A projection for a frontage, not a prediction for a property.

In these presets
Coastal
The intertidal and soft-cliff suite: saltmarsh, sand dunes, vegetated shingle, maritime cliff and slope, mudflats and saline lagoons: plus Heritage Coast, Marine Conservation Zones, Scottish MPAs, and the SPA and Ramsar designations that nearly always sit over an estuary. The Coast Path is included because access and designation overlap constantly on this kind of site.
Planning
The constraints that shape a red line: SSSI Impact Risk Zones, Green Belt, the Flood Map for Planning zones and storage areas with present-day rivers-and-sea risk, Agricultural Land Classification (both the provisional national map and the more reliable post-1988 surveys), nutrient neutrality catchments, National Parks, National Landscapes and Local Nature Recovery Strategy areas. Useful for a constraints plan or an early feasibility check before any ecology is commissioned.
