Coastal communities are living in fear that every new storm could be the one that will send their home plummeting into the sea.
Erosion accelerated by global warming could wipe out £600million worth of coastal homes in 21 communities in England by the end of the century, a climate action group warns.
Many residents do not know a decision has been taken not to build new sea defences in their area, meaning homes will be left at the mercy of the waves.
