In recent years, homes, roads and other infrastructure along the 246km of coastline managed by the Coastal Partnership have been increasingly affected by flooding, resulting in a growing risk of both flooding and coastal erosion. 

The Langstone Community experienced significant flooding in recent winters, with April 2024 recording some of the highest tide levels ever seen in parts of our region. The higher-than-normal tides, combined with an intense storm surge, caused damage and severe flooding to residential and commercial properties, as well as the local Road network

The scheme will reduce the risk of coastal flooding and erosion along the Langstone coastline. It will keep Langstone and Hayling connected, helping to support resilient, thriving communities into the future.
