Report on the Memorandum of Understanding between Environment Agency and Lewes District Council relating to coastal risk management at Telscombe Cliffs

The report will explain why officers recommend that the best option to manage the long term management risks posed by erosion at Telscombe Cliffs is that Lewes District Council enters into a MoU with the Environment Agency. This will enable the EA to utilise their considerable resources and expertise to take the lead role in managing the risks posed along this stretch of coast.
