Update: Environment Agency Position Statement
Wealden District Council (WDC) is consulting on the next stage of the Wealden Local Plan. The Environment Agency will provide a formal statutory response through our official processes.
We recognise that members of the local community may have questions about WDC’s consideration of designating a Coastal Change Management Area (CCMA) at Pevensey Bay. To support clear understanding, the Pevensey Bay to Eastbourne Coastal Management team has prepared the document below, setting out our position.
You can find more information about the consultation and share your views with WDC before 20 March 2026 at: https://letstalk.wealden.gov.uk/wealden-draft-local-plan-regulation-18-consultation-2
