The Environment Agency gives notice that it proposes to carry out works to provide an improved level of flood protection in Worthing, West Sussex on the South Coast of England.

The proposed improvement works are across approximately 3.7km of coastline located along the Worthing frontage, extending from groyne 69 at Sea View Road to groyne 140 opposite Brooklands Brighton Road car park.

Initial environmental assessments have been undertaken in the form of a Preliminary Environmental Impact Appraisal (PEIR) of the proposals and considers that the improvement works are not likely to have significant effects on the environment.

Therefore, the Environment Agency does not intend to prepare an Environmental Statement in respect of Schedule 2 of the Environmental Impact Assessment (Land Drainage Improvement Works) Regulations 1999 (as amended).
