Cuckmere Estuary Partnership

Q: May we have breakdown of alleged £18m costs and its timescale? What will the cost be of the earth embankment south of A259 and round canoe barn under option 3?

A: A breakdown of costs for all options can be found in the Environment Agency’s Cuckmere Estuary Strategy Project Appraisal Report (PAR) which is available to download from the ‘Partners’ policy documents’ page from the Resources section of this site.

The Environment Agency did not individually cost each element of Option 3, because it was clear that this option could not qualify for funding under the funding rules.

Although the Environment Agency’s Option 3 included a lengthy earth embankment, it is by no means certain that this would be required. The Partnership will consider this in development of its future management plan.
