Cuckmere Estuary Partnership

Q: If there is a floodplain created south of A259 how do we know north of A259 will be protected from flooding? What about villages protection and access during floods north of A259?

A: The Environment Agency’s models show that restoring the Cuckmere to a naturally functioning estuary will not increase the risk of flooding upstream. 

Further details about the areas upstream of Exceat Bridge are dealt with in the Cuckmere and Sussex Havens Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP).  This document includes an action plan that lists the further studies that will be done.
