Other options considered

Many different options for enhancing Weston's seafront and improving sea defences have been considered, including:

  • Raise the promenade and sea wall by about three metres
    Rejected as it would significantly restrict views of the sea

  • New Marine Lake or harbour between Knightstone and the Grand Pier and improvements to existing sea wall
    Rejected as the structure would be as high as Knightstone Island and significantly restrict views of the sea, would have a negative environmental impact, the marina would only be effective in high tides and would cost over £100million to build

  • Temporary demountable defences erected during a flood
    Rejected as not considered sufficient defence in tidal areas
