Happisburgh Norfolk,
The wooden sea defences built in the late 1950s at Happisburgh in North Norfolk have been failing over the last few years and large chunks of the sandy cliffs are regularly falling into the sea. Campaigners concerned about the erosion of the Norfolk coastline say offshore dredging is partly to blame. About 10 million tonnes of sand and gravel are dredged off the East Anglian coast each year for projects like road building. In 2003, a 30-metre stretch of land in Happisburgh was lost to the sea, taking a number of properties with it.
