Public engagement event to share next stage of Budleigh Salterton Beach and Cliff Management Plan

The next stage of public engagement for the Budleigh Salterton beach and cliff management plan will take place in July, with a public engagement event for residents and interested members of the community.

The event is scheduled to take place on Wednesday 22 July from 4.30pm to 7pm. It will be held at The Public Hall, Station Road, Budleigh Salterton, EX9 6RJ.

The project team has been reviewing feedback from the engagement and public survey held between December 2025 and January 2026. This has helped to build a clearer understanding of the area and the risks from coastal erosion and flooding over the next 100 years.

This work has included assessing what could happen if no action were taken to manage those risks. Understanding this worst-case scenario is an important part of the project and helps inform the development of possible options.

The team is now developing a long-list of possible options. It is also looking at the technical, economic, and environmental issues that may affect what can be taken forward.

At the July event, we will share the draft assessment of the initial long-list of options. We will also explain how these have been screened to develop a proposed short-list for more detailed assessment.

Feedback from the event will help make sure local views and the views of statutory stakeholders are considered before the project moves to the next stage.
