Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park on 25 November (HL10259), whether they intend to provide a geographical breakdown of (1) the 2,000 properties in England at risk from loss to coastal erosion in England by 2060, assuming current Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) policies are implemented, (2) the 5,000 properties potentially at risk by the 2030s from coastal erosion if SMPs are not implemented, and (3) the 28,000 properties potentially at risk by the 2060s (based on high emissions scenarios from UKCP09).

The number of projected properties (residential and non-residential) at risk from coastal erosion loss under three scenarios are as follows:

• 2201 properties at risk from erosion to 2060 'With Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) Policy' scenario, 50 percentile (mid-range) projection (England only).
• 5092 properties at risk from erosion to 2030 'No Intervention' scenario, 50 percentile (mid-range) projection (England only).
• 27900 properties at risk from erosion to 2060 'No Intervention' scenario, 50 percentile (mid-range) projection (England only).

National Coastal Erosion Risk Map (NCERM) erosion projections are available as Open Data, and information for all coastal areas of England can be reviewed by accessing the NCERM . People can also check their risk by inputting their postcode and looking at the flood risk maps on our website, or by looking at the Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) for their local area: https://www.gov.uk/check-coastal-erosion-management-in-your-area .

The Environment Agency will be updating NCERM to reflect UKCP18 emissions scenarios in 2021, and will be exploring potential ways to share property risk information from NCERM as part of that exercise, which will conclude in 2023.
