Chapter 3:
Aldwick Bay to Elmer England Coast Path: East Head to Shoreham by Sea - Natural England’s Proposals
Part 3.1: Introduction Start Point:
Aldwick Bay shingle beach (grid reference: 489553 97573)
End Point:
Elmer (grid reference: 499448 100300)
Relevant Maps:
3a to 3f
Understanding the proposals and accompanying maps: The Trail: 3.1.1 Follows existing walked routes, including public rights of way, along most of this length. 3.1.2 Mainly follows the coastline quite closely and maintains good views of the sea. 3.1.3 Includes three sections of new path upon the shingle beach at Aldwick, Middleton on Sea and at Elmer. See maps 3.a, 3.e and 3.f with associated tables below for details. 3.1.4 In some areas an inland diversion is necessary to take the trail past sea defence structures between Aldwick and Bognor Regis (sections EHS-3-S042 to EHS-3-S052 map 3.b) and at Middleton Point (sections EHS-3-S075 to EHS-3-S078 map 3.e) which are currently inaccessible at high tides (See Future Change, below and Part 8 of the Overview). Protection of sensitive features: 3.1.5 This part of the coast includes the following sites, designated for nature conservation or heritage preservation (See map C of the Overview): Bognor Reef Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its geological/ wildlife interest
We have assessed the potential impacts of access along the proposed route (and over the associated spreading room described below) on the features for which the affected land is designated and on any which are protected in their own right.
England Coast Path | East Head to Shoreham by Sea | Natural England’s Proposals
3.1.6 With input from specialists we considered the sites involved and the relevant design options and concluded that for this section of the coast our proposals will not have a detrimental effect. In reaching this conclusion we have identified that it would be necessary to align the route at Bognor Reef SSSI on the landward side of the shingle beach in order to avoid increased trampling of the vegetated shingle. This proposal is explained further in parts 6 & 10 of the Overview. 3.1.7 In addition to this measure, we have also identified a requirement to provide appropriate signage at key locations. These signs will explain the importance of these habitats, promote responsible dog behaviour and advise walkers where the best underfoot conditions can be found.
In relation to those nature conservation sites listed above, refer to our published Access and Sensitive Features Appraisal for more information.
See part 6b of the Overview - Protection of sensitive features - for a description of our overall approach and a summary of our conclusions. Accessibility 3.1.8 Generally, there are few artificial barriers to accessibility on the proposed route, which makes use of existing surface paths wherever these meet the criteria in the Coastal Access Scheme. 3.1.9 However, there are places where it may not be entirely suitable for people with reduced mobility because: The trail will follow an uneven surface on sections of shingle beach in places. The trail follows a sea defence with a raised concrete step at the entrance to the alleyway leading to Elmer Road. See part 6a of the Overview - ‘Recreational issues’ - for more information. Where we have proposed exercising our discretion: The discretions referred to below are explained in more detail in the introduction of the Overview. 3.1.10 Landward boundary of the coastal margin: We have used our discretion on some sections of the route to map the landward extent of the coastal margin to an adjacent physical boundary such as a fence line, promenade, pavement or track edge to make the extent of the new access rights clearer. See Table 3.2.1. See also part 3 of the Overview - ‘Understanding the proposals and accompanying maps’, for an explanation of the default extent of the coastal margin and how we may use our discretion to adjust the margin, either to add land or to provide clarity. See also Annex C of the Overview - ‘Excepted land categories’. 3.1.11 Restrictions and exclusions: No directions to restrict or exclude access are proposed on this length of coast. However, access rights to the spreading room would be subject to the national restrictions on coastal access rights listed in Annex D of the Overview. These restrictions would not apply to public rights of way. See part 10 of the Overview - ‘Restrictions and exclusions’ - for details. England Coast Path | East Head to Shoreham by Sea | Natural England’s Proposals
Establishment and ongoing management of the trail: 3.1.12 Some physical establishment of the trail would be necessary, in accordance with the general approach described in part 7 the Overview. In the main this will be signage and waymarking. 3.1.13 Ongoing management: Ongoing management and maintenance would be necessary in accordance with the general approach described in part 8 of the Overview. See parts 7 - ‘Physical establishment of the trail’ and 8 - ‘Maintenance of the trail’ of the Overview for more information. Future Change: 3.1.14 At the time of preparing the report, we do not foresee any need for future changes to the access provisions proposed for the length of coast described in this chapter. See parts 6e - ‘Coastal processes’ and 9 - ‘Future changes’ of the Overview for more information.

Part 3.2: Commentary on Maps See Part 3 of Overview for guidance on reading and understanding the tables below 3.2.1 Section Details – Maps 3.a to 3.f: Aldwick Bay to Elmer Notes on table: Column 2 – an asterisk (*) against the route section number means see also table 3.2.2: Other options considered. Column 5 – ‘Yes – normal’ means roll-back approach is likely to follow the current feature (e.g. cliff edge/beach) for the foreseeable future. Column 6a - certain specific coastal land types are included automatically in the coastal margin where they fall landward of the trail, or connect indirectly with it by touching another part of the coastal margin that itself touches the foreshore at some point.

Option(s) considered
Reasons for not proposing this option as the route
3a
EHS-3-S006 to EHS-3-S041
At Aldwick Beach (part of Bognor Reef SSSI), we considered aligning the trail seaward of the proposed route, as requested by local residents due to privacy concerns.
We opted for the proposed route because: ■ It avoids the vegetated shingle habitat that is sensitive to trampling. ■ The existing informal path is along the landward boundary of the beach, adjacent to the properties. There is no clear, existing path seaward of the proposed route. ■ It avoids sections of unconsolidated shingle beach which is difficult to walk on for long distances. ■ Walkers are already using the proposed route and we believe that introducing another trail onto the beach would not change this established pattern of use.

■ The coastal defence structures prevent continuous access along the beach. ■ The shingle beach is currently eroding at the two wave cusps along this section at Elmer, thereby limiting access at high tides, so the inland route has been chosen via Elmer Road and Manor Way using public footpaths.

Part 3 of the Overview to the report explains where the landward boundary of the coastal margin falls by default. Our proposals include any suggested variation of this default boundary. The purple wash on the map indicates where as a result of our proposals the coastal margin would extend significantly to the landward side of the proposed route of the trail. The coastal margin may include some areas where coastal access rights do not apply, either seaward or landward of the proposed route of the trail: the Overview explains more about this. The landward boundary of the coastal margin may in due course move inland, if the trail rolls back under proposals in this report to respond to coastal change.

Chapter 3:
Aldwick Bay to Elmer England Coast Path: East Head to Shoreham by Sea - Natural England’s Proposals
Part 3.1: Introduction Start Point:
Aldwick Bay shingle beach (grid reference: 489553 97573)
End Point:
Elmer (grid reference: 499448 100300)
Relevant Maps:
3a to 3f
Understanding the proposals and accompanying maps: The Trail: 3.1.1 Follows existing walked routes, including public rights of way, along most of this length. 3.1.2 Mainly follows the coastline quite closely and maintains good views of the sea. 3.1.3 Includes three sections of new path upon the shingle beach at Aldwick, Middleton on Sea and at Elmer. See maps 3.a, 3.e and 3.f with associated tables below for details. 3.1.4 In some areas an inland diversion is necessary to take the trail past sea defence structures between Aldwick and Bognor Regis (sections EHS-3-S042 to EHS-3-S052 map 3.b) and at Middleton Point (sections EHS-3-S075 to EHS-3-S078 map 3.e) which are currently inaccessible at high tides (See Future Change, below and Part 8 of the Overview). Protection of sensitive features: 3.1.5 This part of the coast includes the following sites, designated for nature conservation or heritage preservation (See map C of the Overview): Bognor Reef Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its geological/ wildlife interest
We have assessed the potential impacts of access along the proposed route (and over the associated spreading room described below) on the features for which the affected land is designated and on any which are protected in their own right.
England Coast Path | East Head to Shoreham by Sea | Natural England’s Proposals
3.1.6 With input from specialists we considered the sites involved and the relevant design options and concluded that for this section of the coast our proposals will not have a detrimental effect. In reaching this conclusion we have identified that it would be necessary to align the route at Bognor Reef SSSI on the landward side of the shingle beach in order to avoid increased trampling of the vegetated shingle. This proposal is explained further in parts 6 & 10 of the Overview. 3.1.7 In addition to this measure, we have also identified a requirement to provide appropriate signage at key locations. These signs will explain the importance of these habitats, promote responsible dog behaviour and advise walkers where the best underfoot conditions can be found.
In relation to those nature conservation sites listed above, refer to our published Access and Sensitive Features Appraisal for more information.
See part 6b of the Overview - Protection of sensitive features - for a description of our overall approach and a summary of our conclusions. Accessibility 3.1.8 Generally, there are few artificial barriers to accessibility on the proposed route, which makes use of existing surface paths wherever these meet the criteria in the Coastal Access Scheme. 3.1.9 However, there are places where it may not be entirely suitable for people with reduced mobility because: The trail will follow an uneven surface on sections of shingle beach in places. The trail follows a sea defence with a raised concrete step at the entrance to the alleyway leading to Elmer Road. See part 6a of the Overview - ‘Recreational issues’ - for more information. Where we have proposed exercising our discretion: The discretions referred to below are explained in more detail in the introduction of the Overview. 3.1.10 Landward boundary of the coastal margin: We have used our discretion on some sections of the route to map the landward extent of the coastal margin to an adjacent physical boundary such as a fence line, promenade, pavement or track edge to make the extent of the new access rights clearer. See Table 3.2.1. See also part 3 of the Overview - ‘Understanding the proposals and accompanying maps’, for an explanation of the default extent of the coastal margin and how we may use our discretion to adjust the margin, either to add land or to provide clarity. See also Annex C of the Overview - ‘Excepted land categories’. 3.1.11 Restrictions and exclusions: No directions to restrict or exclude access are proposed on this length of coast. However, access rights to the spreading room would be subject to the national restrictions on coastal access rights listed in Annex D of the Overview. These restrictions would not apply to public rights of way. See part 10 of the Overview - ‘Restrictions and exclusions’ - for details. England Coast Path | East Head to Shoreham by Sea | Natural England’s Proposals
Establishment and ongoing management of the trail: 3.1.12 Some physical establishment of the trail would be necessary, in accordance with the general approach described in part 7 the Overview. In the main this will be signage and waymarking. 3.1.13 Ongoing management: Ongoing management and maintenance would be necessary in accordance with the general approach described in part 8 of the Overview. See parts 7 - ‘Physical establishment of the trail’ and 8 - ‘Maintenance of the trail’ of the Overview for more information. Future Change: 3.1.14 At the time of preparing the report, we do not foresee any need for future changes to the access provisions proposed for the length of coast described in this chapter. See parts 6e - ‘Coastal processes’ and 9 - ‘Future changes’ of the Overview for more information.

Part 3.2: Commentary on Maps See Part 3 of Overview for guidance on reading and understanding the tables below 3.2.1 Section Details – Maps 3.a to 3.f: Aldwick Bay to Elmer Notes on table: Column 2 – an asterisk (*) against the route section number means see also table 3.2.2: Other options considered. Column 5 – ‘Yes – normal’ means roll-back approach is likely to follow the current feature (e.g. cliff edge/beach) for the foreseeable future. Column 6a - certain specific coastal land types are included automatically in the coastal margin where they fall landward of the trail, or connect indirectly with it by touching another part of the coastal margin that itself touches the foreshore at some point.

Option(s) considered
Reasons for not proposing this option as the route
3a
EHS-3-S006 to EHS-3-S041
At Aldwick Beach (part of Bognor Reef SSSI), we considered aligning the trail seaward of the proposed route, as requested by local residents due to privacy concerns.
We opted for the proposed route because: ■ It avoids the vegetated shingle habitat that is sensitive to trampling. ■ The existing informal path is along the landward boundary of the beach, adjacent to the properties. There is no clear, existing path seaward of the proposed route. ■ It avoids sections of unconsolidated shingle beach which is difficult to walk on for long distances. ■ Walkers are already using the proposed route and we believe that introducing another trail onto the beach would not change this established pattern of use.

■ The coastal defence structures prevent continuous access along the beach. ■ The shingle beach is currently eroding at the two wave cusps along this section at Elmer, thereby limiting access at high tides, so the inland route has been chosen via Elmer Road and Manor Way using public footpaths.

The landward boundary of the coastal margin may in due course move inland, if the trail rolls back under proposals in this report to respond to coastal change.
This map is intended to be printed in colour at A3 size.

PROPOSALS
Trail shown on other maps Coastal margin landward of the trail
Explanatory note: coastal margin Part 3 of the Overview to the report explains where the landward boundary of the coastal margin falls by default. Our proposals include any suggested variation of this default boundary. The purple wash on the map indicates where as a result of our proposals the coastal margin would extend significantly to the landward side of the proposed route of the trail. The coastal margin may include some areas where coastal access rights do not apply, either seaward or landward of the proposed route of the trail: the Overview explains more about this.
