Pevensey is on the East Sussex coast, between Eastbourne and Bexhill (see Figure 1). Its coastal defence is in the form of a shingle embankment facing approximately south-east into the English Channel. It is the subject of a 25-year contractual arrangement, unique at its inception, between the private consortium Pevensey Coastal Defence Limited (PCDL) and the Environment Agency (EA). After each storm, any necessary coastal defence repair is carried out. At the same time, a return period for the storm is estimated based on the predicted tidal level and the forecast surge and waves, with reference to look-up tables for the joint return period of sea level and wave height.
