IMG_3817_investment.jpg £millions have been spent on the sea wall in Blackpool to help protect the town from coastal flooding, which is an increasing risk due to increased stormy weather and sea level rise, both driven by climate change.

IMG_4507_gripped.jpg Boggy Moorland above Wet Sleddale that has had drainage ditches dug into the peat, known as gripping, to try and make the ground more suitable for sheep grazing. This is disastrous environmentally, causing a triple whammy of destruction. for a marginal gain in sheep farming, it degrades the moorland bog as a habitat for specialist plants and animals, it reduces the peat bogs ability to lock away and store carbon, and it greatly increases the flood risk downstream, as rain water drains straight off the land, rather than being taken up and released slowly by the peat and sphagnum moss.

IMG_3559_flood risk.jpg The area of the North Wales coast between Prestatyn and Abergele was reclaimed from an ancient salt marsh. As such it is flat, low lying and susceptible to coastal flooding. Climate change driven sea level rise increases the risk making it one of the most at risk coastal areas in the British Isles. In 1990 a combination of strong westerly winds a high tide and a 1.5m storm surge breached 400 metres of the sea wall and inundated 2800 properties in Towyn and Kinmel Bay. These bungalows in Prestatyn are part of the area at risk.

This being the case, you would think it would be sensible, not to build any more houses, yet they are still allowing newbuild. This Pensarn Grange development is just on the outskirts of Towyn.
