- The work investigated the inundation propagation of various coastal overtopping flood conditions in Paignton under the present and the future climate change scenarios. The study clearly quantified the cascading effects and the associated impacts due to critical infrastructure (CI) and service disruptions, which are caused by flooding and other CI failures. The work demonstrated that a £3.4 million flood defence scheme could protect 3000 people and prevent a potential £48 million economic impact under an extreme flood scenario. The scientific evidence supported Torbay Council to secure £3.4m in government funding for delivering the scheme to safeguard the community in Paignton.
