  • 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.

  • Landslides at Beachy Head, Sussex
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by NERC Open Research Archive Landslides at Beachy Head, Sussex Beachy Head (Figures 1 and 2) is a famous natural and historic site and tourist attraction on the south coast. The cliff top area is part of the Downland Country Park managed by Eastbourne District Council. The section of cliff surveyed at Beachy Head is situated to the east of the modern lighthouse. The survey spans a 400 m south-facing stretch of beach with a cliff height of between 120 and 160 m. Figure 1 Cliffs and lighthouse at Beachy Head Figure 2 Field sketch at Beachy Head As part of a programme of work monitoring coastal erosion and landsliding at several sites around the coast of Great Britain, BGS has surveyed the cliffs at Beachy Head in Sussex using terrestrial LiDAR — see Terrestrial LiDAR Survey Techniques Geology The geology of the cliffs at Beachy Head consist of Cretaceous chalk comprising the Seaford Chalk and Lewes Nodular Chalk formations (formerly called the Upper Chalk Formation) overlying the New Pit Chalk Formation (formerly part of the Middle Chalk). The New Pit Chalk Formation (Turonian) in the lower part of the cliff is largely obscured by chalk debris. This is principally blocky, white firm to moderately hard chalk with numerous marls. Flint occurs sporadically or in seams in different part of the formation. Overlying the New Pit Chalk Formation is the Lewes Nodular Chalk Formation, which is Turonian to Coniacian in age. This consists of hard nodular chalk and chalkstone, which is locally porcellaneous.

  • 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.

Newsletter Issue 32: June 2007 Highlights State Government Grant Launch of the Avenues Kit Heritage Festival Report Soldiers Stories Book Reviews New Postal Address Dates to remember Quiz Night Friday 17 August Lindisfarne RSL MEMBERSHIPS FOR 2007/08 ARE DUE NOW President’s Report In recent months FOSMA has been involved in a number of activities and events, notably the Tasmanian Heritage Festival and Anzac Day commemorations, as well as Avenues Kit launch (more details in this newsletter). To all those who contributed time and effort to arrange and participate in these events, thank you. Since Anzac Day we have noticed a significant increase in the number of people seeking information about possible ancestors on the SMA, as well as many families taking up the advantages of tax deductibility status for donations. This is most pleasing because it proves that public awareness of the Avenue is growing. The committee has now begun planning for the opening of the Crossroads redevelopment on Sunday 3rd August next year, which will involve a significant number of plaque dedications. We hope to make this a major event that involves hundreds of guests, families and participants. We will need to have many volunteers helping on the day with car parking, crowd control, catering, general organisation and dedications. So if you are able to help, please let Adrian Howard or myself know by the end of July. We have recently audited our membership/newsletter lists and noted many people have not renewed their subscriptions. A new membership form is attached to the postal cover sheet for you to complete and return post haste! If you do not renew we will stop sending this wonderful newsletter to you! We also need your continuing support.
