Erosion of the coastal edge, Ilse of Wight page 3.

Facts:

There is no government compensation for home owners whose cliff-top homes have to be demolished, and they usually have to pay their own demolition costs.

Government policy on erosion has changed from protecting the existing shoreline - to a natural process, allowing the sea to do its own thing.

If a sudden unexpected cliff fall brings your house much closer to the edge, its value can drop to virtually nothing - even if there may not be another cliff fall for many decades.

Buildings on vulnerable cliff tops cannot be insured against cliff erosion, although some policies may cover landslip. Some insurers will withdraw fire cover, sometimes these rules may apply up to a mile inland.

Someone's boundary wall is being lost due to Erosion at Bembridge Ledge.

	Luccombe Chine Luccombe also falls victim to small landslips in this area. This was taken in 2005 and the steps leading down to the beach had recently been relocated.

The cliffs are quite high here and they are split into at least two levels. Where there has not been some Landslips for some time Erosion is still taking its toll in a more moderate way.
