The UK's Most Dangerous Place To Buy a House 

Desire to spend the money, simple as that. Too busy putting it in the their own pockets and giving it to donors, we the public are just an inconvenience to them.

Where do the Dutch build houses on cliffs? In places where the sea has been eating away the cliffs for hundreds of years?

Do you mean "born- AND- bred" pal?.... that one little word makes all the difference.

@@Jojobber nah im from Norfolk, of course im inbred 😜

@@srpacific I was thinking more broadly about their ability to reclaim land from the sea and prevent water ingress across their land mass.

They put it up, a few years ago they weren't seafront properties.

They'll have put it up for a better sea view

@@BuddhaofBlackpool 😂🤣

Councils are just a big con no need for them if people just governed themselves.

They need a 30 ft high sea wall there…

I loved in Norfolk, and well inland too - dig a couple of inches under the topsoil, and it was pure sand as deep as you could go. I think Norfolk is literally an ancient sand bank.

Matter of interest I am an hours walk from some Cornish cliffs. In the last few years I have seen huge sections of the coast disappearing into the sea, taking with them long established footpaths. Erosion of course happens all the time, checkout a video “North Cliffs failure”. Just down the road from me.

You hit the nail on the head. They were told they had decades. But the time will come.

Slight correction - it's the PPE scandal. You're spot on with everything else you've said. There is plenty of money swilling about - trouble is it goes in the pockets of too few people

Great comment and very informative!

I agree he even has the correct tone in his voice. Superb presentation it's all there

currently waiting for someone on their 10th shot to mention climate change.

Doggerland, like Disney land for kinky folk

Is that where the name “Dogger Bank” comes from?

@@GT380man Hit traffic on the dogger bank.

@@GT380man yes

This is such a excellent Webb site love the drone shots thank you from New Zealand

100 years ago there was probably more land but no houses. 200 years ago the same. The only difference in the last 50 years is that people who sold real estate thought they were smarter than nature…

They need to build something against the cliffs to stop the erosion, maybe concrete walls.

Yes, you're right about it being too late for a lot of these properties, if not most of them. This needed to have been done at least 20 years previously, and it's shocking that it wasn't. It would take years to install sea defenses that would save it, even if there was money for it. The residents on the cliff edge need to get out while they can because there isn't anything that can be done at this stage. A few planks of wood will do nothing against the sea.

I feel very sorry for those residents of Hemsby, who did not know, that their houses were close to the sea ! (LOL ) It has been known for several hundred years that parts of the British coast were eroding. There are historical records of entire towns that no longer exist. Another question entirely is whether that land along that coast should have been allowed to be sold of for housing (including "holiday housing" or short term lets). Obviously some landowners and property developers made huge profits, before they ran away, clutching their pearls. One assumes that local councils granted the requisite land zoning and building permits, to allow those houses to be built there. (More sensibly, councils should have originally demanded a 400 metre, quarter mile buffer zone, be without houses, be planted with hardy trees and bushes as a coastal park). But that was not done, they allowed house construction to go up very close to the coastline. Concrete barriers and large rocks can slow erosion, but only partially. Planting appropriate coastal tolerant plants helps to hold sandy soil together. In tropical climates planting "Mangroves" actually stops erosion and creates more land, as new soil residues build up around their roots. (Mangroves can grow right out of salty sea-water). In a cool climate Temperate zone, far fewer plant varieties especially long lived woody trees and shrubs, can be grown, as they must resist both cold Winter as well as coastal onslaught. However planting wherever possible does help.

Get rubber dinghie at Dover, you will be oven everything you want.

Also if you owned a property close to the cliff it would be unsaleable .

​@@TheNewSchmooThey do try. You see a lot of for sale signs along that coast, and they're not given away prices (as one friend discovered when he thought he could get a coastal home cheaply). I do wonder at the person who built that house in 2014. We knew 'decades' beforehand that coastal erosion was speeding up, so why they built there and why the council gave them permission to do so proves that a few people need their heads checking.

​@@fredblogsMaybe you should post when you've not been drinking.

@@TranscendentalDentist And maybe you should refrain from talking out of your rear

Hey thanks so much for this! I proper appreciate it

The dunwich church fell into the sea several decades ago. When I was a small child. I’m now 70. You could hear the church bell ring at low tide. Very eerie.

I grew up in watchet, can you tell me what pub/area is under threat.

@@Buffalo31 You watchet you!

@@cockshield ???

yes, sand not gravel ...

Thanks for coming along 😃

Agree and he has class too. Not selling out with poverty porn etc

I’ll look into this thanks 👍👍

You just told us, thanks!

Agreed I live in Norfolk and don’t want people to know about it. Please keep away go to Spain or something.

My grandma used to have a caravan in Hornsea and same problem there, the campsite is right on the edge now and all the caravans across the front have had to be moved to different available slots.

100%

Hemsby is not north norfolk 😂😂

Even the Government has no effect on mother nature, the houses are too close to the edge of the cliffs, the real culprit is who allowed the houses to be built on clifftops in the first place?

It's funny considering Norfolk is so Tory.

​@@janetpendlebury6808they used to be half a mile back. Look at the defences that n Sheringham.

Really?

@@wanderingturnip yes then you were in front of it a min later. sixth from the cliff.

I’m heading to the Yorkshire coast on Tuesday 👍

Look at Skipsea it’s really bad there and quite a few houses are empty now near Skipsea Sands holiday park and some have already been demolished.

@@teanadodgson721 I'M GOING TO THE LOVELY SKIPSEA CARAVAN PARK IN 3 WEEKS TIME, I HOPE THAT ITS STILL GOING TO BE THERE.

@@wanderingturnip IM GOING IN THREE WEEKS TO SKIPSEA CARAVAN PARK.

@@teanadodgson721 JUST BACK FROM SKIPSEA SANDS YESTERDAY WAS THERE LAST YEAR AS WELL, THE EROSION IS FAR WORSE T.

When the houses were first built, the sea was far away. Their sea view is new.

@@InquisitiveBaldMan похоже кто то погружается в пучину, как Атлантида

@@2200-au Its a losing battle with the sea. The battle can always be won. Look at the Netherlands. Lots of their land is below the sea!

Hayz-bruh 😀

Dunwich the town Lovecraft based his story on 😅.

It looks stunning

Its amazing, great people.

People built homes on the cliff tops, what is shocking is that this was allowed in the first place.

Tell me where in Norfolk there is bedrock to build on.

The very northern extremes of Norfolk there's a small area up there with Silurian rocky bits. It's why Norfolk is a nice sleepy backwater with lots of actual indigenous, native DNA. Immigrants & invaders didn't bother much with the area. @@thisperson5294

look up Fred Dibnah.

Great idea ,it would be amazing to see were the old stations were.
