Coastal Protection - Gorleston Promenade

Option 2

  • Annual beach recharge from Great Yarmouth Beach
    and refurbish existing seawall:
  • Maintain the beach at a level sufficient to prevent waves breaking on the seawall and to provide more anaerobic conditions for toe piles so as to reduce the rate of corrosion.
  • Recharge the beach with sand extracted from the accreting beach at South Denes, Great Yarmouth.
  • Open beach with high amenity value
  • High capital expenditure (very large recharge quantities required)
  • Disruption every 5 years due to beach material transported to Gorleston beach
  • Beach material lost alongshore
