One Home compiles a map identifying 21 at-risk communities and warning of funding shortfalls.
Policies on whether to defend, retreat or abandon sections of coast were contained in shoreline management plans , but although readily available to view, SMPs were not a guarantee of support, the One Home said.One Home says many coastal residents may be unaware of the decisions being made around their propertywas taking "a huge toll on the mental health" of local people.
"Shoreline management plans are publicly available documents but most people are unaware of their existence."One Home's map showed which 21 communities in England were most at risk of erosion "Even where communities have been chosen to be saved, the money might not be there, giving people false hope that their home will be protected long term," she said.More than a third of England's coastline has a designation of "no active intervention", One Home said, meaning that nothing more would be done to defend against erosion.
