Revealed for the first time - how Kent will look if global warming causes part of it to slip into the sea.

It comes as a new Defra report shows sea levels are predicted to rise by one metre over the next century.

Also Kent is slowly sinking at a rate of about 1.5mm a year. This means some parts of county will be given up to the sea if our coastal defences are not maintained or improved upon.

This new warning comes from Ted Edwards, chairman of the South East Coastal Group, and follows remarks made by Lord Smith of Finsbury, the new head of the Environment Agency's report on the affects of global warming.

Mr Edwards said the SECG is constantly monitoring the situation and drawing up plans as to where, what and how certain bits of shoreline should be defended.

The main emphasis is on protecting communities that may come under threat, along with road and rail infrastructures.

The means some land will inevitably be swallowed by the sea

"We will protect what we can for the next 100 years and may even move some defences back past from their existing positions in some non-populated areas.

"The worst affected area in Kent is a two kilometre stretch of cliff between Herne Bay and Reculver.

"These cliffs are being being eroded , but at the moment the policy is not to defend them in the short to medium term as there will be no significant damage to them for 50 to 100 years.

"The situation in Kent, however, is not as serious as in East Anglia, were some homes are already in danger of falling into the sea.

"We are already doing everything we can to protect people's homes, Whitstable for example has sea defences predicted to be breached by a one in 200 year storm.

• The South East Coastal Group provides a co-ordinated, strategic response to coastal erosion and flooding. It comprises of local authorities, the Environment Agency, English Nature, KCC, Defra and land owners. Defra has the overall responsibility for flood and erosion risk in England
