Boardwalk and Seawall update Winter 2026
ork on the King Charles III footpath started on the shore here at the end of 2025. The bridge, now raised and modified, will be completed soon. The boardwalk will be installed possibly during Spring 2026 (no dates yet).
The focus for the Council
of Management has been to ensure that the seawall, which
protects the whole estate, is protected and that we retain
access for inspection and maintenance. We will install gabion
baskets with infill of any gaps between them and our wall. An
access agreement will cover removal of the boardwalk if
required.
Undertaking the
installation of gabions now, gives us the opportunity to save
money and means that our works are covered by the King Charles
III project permissions (e.g. from the Environment Agency and
Chichester Harbour Conservancy), Construction and Design
Management Regulations notification, and risk assessments. These
are otherwise very complex, costly and time consuming to obtain.
