What is happening now?
We are currently in Phase 2 (Concept, Feasibility and Options). During this phase, the project team is working on the development of appropriate measures to best manage the risks to the railway associated with coastal hazards in the five key areas (coastal cell areas). Over the coming months we will be carrying out several surveys to inform the design development. These surveys will cover non-intrusive ecological surveys and bathymetric surveys. We also plan to carry out Ground Investigation to inform the design close to the rail line.As part of the public consultation process, the public are invited to make observations and submissions on the Emerging Preferred Scheme for each of the five coastal cell areas. Full details of each Emerging Preferred Scheme, including maps, drawings and the Preliminary Options Selection Reports are available to view and download on this project website. Full details of the optioneering process is documented in the Preliminary Options Selection Reports.
An option selections report will then be finalised detailing the identified preferred scheme for each of the five Coastal Cell Areas with further consultation expected here.
