Appraisal of Possible Environmental Impacts of Proposals for England www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath Access and Sensitive Features Appraisal Appraisal of possible environmental impacts of proposals for England Coast Path between Shoreham by Sea and Eastbourne Pier Natural England’s Report to the Secretary of State Contents and arrangement of this report This report records the conclusions of Natural England’s appraisal of any potential for environmental impacts from our proposals to establish the England Coast Path in the light of the requirements of the legislation affecting Natura 2000 sites, SSSIs, NNRs, protected species and Marine Conservation Zones. The report is arranged in the following sections: 1. Summary A summary of our conclusions, including key mitigation measures built into our proposals. 2. Scope In this part of the document we define the geographic extent for the appraisal and the features that are included. 3. Baseline conditions and In this part of the document we identify which features might be sensitive ecological sensitivities to changes in access, and rule out from further consideration those that are not. 4. Potential for interaction In this part of the document we identify places where sensitive features are present and whether there could, or will not, be an interaction with proposed changes in access. 5. Assessment of impact- In this part of the document we look in more detail at sections of coast risk and incorporated where there could be an interaction between the access proposal and mitigation measures sensitive features. We discuss possible risks to sensitive features and explain how these have shaped the design of our proposals and/or led to the inclusion of specific mitigation measures. 6. Conclusions In this part of the document we record our formal conclusions, including those for our Habitats Regulations Assessment. 7. Establishing and In this part of the document we describe how the access proposal would maintaining the England be implemented and arrangements for ongoing management and Coast Path maintenance once coastal access rights are in place.

Summary 1.1 Introduction Natural England has been asked by government to make proposals for a National Trail that will be a continuous walking route around the coast of England. This report concerns the potential impacts on nature conservation of establishing the new route for the stretch of the west and East Sussex coast between Shoreham by Sea and Eastbourne. We describe the conclusions of our appraisal and how we have modified our proposals to take account of potential impacts. 1.2 Background There are a number of protected sites along this stretch of coast, including SSSI and MCZ designations (see section 2.2 for details of the sites involved).

DESCRIPTION Integrated Key Characteristics: • Inter-tidal shoreline occurring at the base of the steep chalk cliffs where the South Downs meet the sea. • Characterised by flint shingle beaches, formed from erosion of chalk to reveal flint nodules that are eroded into pebbles. • Chalk rubble, resulting from cliff falls, forms spits of land that extend into the sea. • A dynamic and continually changing landscape featuring constant erosion and re- stocking of the beaches. • An exposed, wild landscape which is open to the elements and whose character is governed by the weather. • Engineered solutions to coastal erosion, sometimes extensive, such as wooden or concrete groynes and concrete retaining structures. • Coastal features such as lighthouses, associated with coastal navigation, and anti- invasion defences. • Extensive views out across the sea to the horizon.

  • Trinity House to Decommission Royal Sovereign Lighthouse End of Serviceable Life
    Trinity House to decommission Royal Sovereign Lighthouse End of serviceable life Trinity House London* has begun preparatory work on a project to decommission Royal Sovereign Lighthouse** (English Channel, South coast of England, 50°43′24″N 0°26′08″E). It is the intention that the now-deteriorating lighthouse will be completely removed clear to the seabed. This has necessitated that Beachy Head Lighthouse be upgraded to ensure the safety of the mariner in those waters. Trinity House aims to commence work in 2020. Royal Sovereign Lighthouse was built in 1971 with a design life of 50 years. Having monitored the fabric of the lighthouse over the last decade and observing the expected signs of deterioration, Trinity House concluded that the ongoing safety of the mariner requires that the structure be fully decommissioned. Royal Sovereign Lighthouse has provided nearly 50 years of reliable service as an aid to navigation, one of over 600 that Trinity House operates for the benefit and safety of the mariner. In anticipation of its intention to remove Royal Sovereign Lighthouse, Trinity House upgraded Beachy Head Lighthouse; it will also increase the capability of the offshore CS2 buoy and will retain the nearby Royal Sovereign buoy. The upgrade to Beachy Head Lighthouse has increased the number of solar panels around the base of its lantern gallery and installed a longer-range LED light source; the CS2 lighted buoy will also benefit from an increase in range. The upgrade to Beachy Head Lighthouse will come as good news to mariners and the local community alike. Once Trinity House decommissions Royal Sovereign Lighthouse as proposed, Beachy Head Lighthouse’s future is secured as the principal aid to navigation in the area.
