One environmental professor said it would 'not be possible to protect every house and business from sea level rise' and predicted 'changes are coming sooner than we might think'.
More than 2,000 homes and businesses face disappearing by the 2050s in West Lancashire alone, with significant risk in other areas of the North West too, according to the new research.
