The Sidmouth and East Beach Coastal Defence Scheme is one of the most significant coastal resilience projects currently being delivered on the Jurassic Coast. The project has been developed in response to the increasing risks posed by coastal erosion, storm damage, and flooding, which threaten homes, businesses, infrastructure, and the local economy. As sea levels continue to rise and storms become more frequent and intense, coastal communities such as Sidmouth face growing challenges in adapting to a changing climate. The scheme has been designed to provide long-term protection for the town while respecting the area’s unique natural and historic environment.
