Planning application registered for Avon Beach, near Christchurch

Christchurch Borough Council has submitted a planning application for improvement works at Avon Beach. The planning application is to raise the low-lying section of promenade along the beach front to make it level with the higher promenade on either side. The proposal also includes widening the promenade which will improve access for beach users.

Lindsay Cass, head of Property and Engineering, Christchurch and East Dorset Councils, commented, “If approved, this scheme will provide better protection of our coastline against predicted future sea level rises and improve the appearance of Avon Beach promenade. Through our work with the Dorset Coast Forum, residents have helped shape the design of the proposal and we are pleased with how engaged people have been.”
