Option 3 - the image illustrates a top-down view of a promenade and beach area, featuring a traditional ramp system designed to meet current accessibility guidance. The purple (magenta/pink) ramp on the plan is a long, accessible, and gently sloping ramp that facilitates the transition from a higher elevation (the Network Rail Footbridge from the side of the Station) down towards a lower elevation (at promenade/beach level). This ramp consists of four segments, with the upper three sections measuring 40m and the lowest section measuring 24m. The ramp maintains a consistent gradient of 1:20.5, making it suitable for wheelchairs and pedestrians alike. This design aims to replicate the success of the previous Chalkwell Ramp while ensuring it complies with modern accessibility standards.
