flag The UK is testing a managed retreat in North Norfolk, spending £15M to relocate homes and infrastructure as erosion worsens.

flag The UK is piloting a managed retreat strategy in North Norfolk, allocating over £15 million to the Coastwise project to explore abandoning homes and infrastructure instead of fighting coastal erosion with traditional sea walls. flag The initiative, responding to accelerating sea-level rise and storm intensity, evaluates buyouts, mobile housing, early warnings, and relocating graveyards. flag Residents in affected villages like Thorpeness report frustration over lack of compensation and uncertainty, as homes are demolished and cliffs recede. flag Experts say adaptation, not resistance, is essential, and the project aims to create models for other vulnerable areas facing similar threats.
