Coastal Protection - Gorleston Promenade

Option 1

Gorleston Coastal Protection Scheme -  a collapse but where !!!!!

Do minimum: Rebuild sections of
the seawall as and when they fail,
reconstruct seawall in year 10

Maintain the integrity of the defences with the minimum capital expenditure (repair on failure).


  • minimum capital expenditure
  • Promenade becomes progressively unusable over 10 years as its collapse becomes inevitable
  • No beach
  • Risk of failure of the seawall during a storm event, possibly leading to the exposure of the sewerage works immediately behind the seawall structure
  • Beach material lost alongshore and offshore
