As the fifth and latest local authority to join Coastal Partners, Chichester District Council has a range of coastal projects underway which will improve resilience against flood and storm events, improve amenity for residents and enhance the natural landscape of Chichester Harbour and beyond.
Take a look below to find out more about the projects underway.
Once one of the fastest eroding coastlines in England, the Selsey peninsula now needs its aging defences replaced. £2.9 million of funding has been secured to assess the shoreline and develop original solutions to meet local need.
With funding secured in 2025 from Chichester District Council, Havant Borough Council and the Environment Agency, work is now underway on auditing the harbour’s defences – this data will inform solutions to improve the flood resilience of local communities and address rising sea levels resulting from climate change.
