They have developed a Shoreline Management Plan which includes predictions of how far the erosion will extend over the next 100 years. In some areas the value of businesses and residential property is high and the plan intends to continue with sea defenses to hold the present coast line. Central UK Government have indicated their preference that nature is allowed to take its course in some areas of lower economic value and that future investment in sea defenses is reduced or stopped. The publishing of this plan and government opinion had a devastating effect on local property prices in these areas and as a result NNDC have conducted consultations with local residents and businesses and prepared a Coastal Management Plan covering social effects of different sea defense strategies. As such a lot of data is available about coastal erosion and the physical and social effects that can be researched in order to consider if the above Hypotheses are
