Danefield Road Beach Recharge

To reduce flood and erosion risk at Selsey, Chichester District Council are undertaking beach management works at Danefield Road.

This will involve the importation of approximately 9000 tonnes of shingle, (by road) to be deposited on the beach at Danefield Road in Selsey.

Works begin week commencing 3rd March, lasting for 3 to 4 weeks.

The Work:

9,000 tonnes of marine dredged shingle will be delivered by lorry to Danefield Road, Selsey. The shingle will be deposited between two groyne bays and spread to the adjacent groyne bays. Figure 1 below shows the working area.
