Harry Blathwayt, North Norfolk District Council’s portfolio holder for the coast, said previously, “It’s very sad that the old farmhouse has been undermined by landfall over the last few weeks. Sadly, it will have to be demolished.””The building is in a precarious position, to say the least.” He added, “The owner of the property has spoken to council officers, and he fully accepts that the building is in a precarious position, to say the least.”As a result, contractors will be “taking it down” before it falls onto the beach. “Erosion at Trimingham has been happening at an alarming rate due to heavy rainfall over the winter, which has saturated the soft cliffs, leading to frequent landslides,” said SWNS. It reported that in January 2020, the cliff fell at Trimingham overnight.That sent sand and silt plummeting down onto the beach from the Trimingham House Caravan Park above. The seaside resort of Hemsby has also lost several homes due to coastal erosion.One ex-soldier, Lance Martin, even made headlines for “dragging his bungalow away from the cliff edge twice,” said SWNS.Martin, 66, announced plans to airlift his home by helicopter away from the seafront in a military-grade operation, the same source noted.For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle
