  1. Location of the lifeboat station 1 Location of Lymington, Courtesy of Minimap.com This station is located in Lymington adjacent to a harbour, therefore any depths issues shall not be a problem. Boat capacity potentially can be large due to the proximity of the harbour. A large settlement is nearby therefore services such as power and water again should not cause problems. There is easy access and parking for the crew and emergency services. As there is a settlement nearby, it can be safe to assume that the ground conditions should be suitable for a structure. Much sea traffic occurs in this area due the marina, ideal for a lifeguard station. Station 1

  2. Station 2 Location of the lifeboat station 2 Location of Calshot, Courtesy of Minimap.com This station is located in Calshot on a headland adjacent to the sea, therefore any depths issues shall not be a problem. There is potential for large boat capacity due to amount of shoreline exposed to sea. A Retail and activities park is nearby therefore services such as power and water again should not cause problems but access and parking could be a problem due to congestion potential from people using the activities park. Ground conditions can be assumed to be ok due to other structures on site. Ideal location for a lifeguard station to protect the centre of the Solent, which caters Southampton.

  3. Other possible locations The new forest dissects the two sites, therefore possible locations in this zone are very limited. Due to limited settlements, hence sparse population, essential services could possibly be inadequate and easy access difficult. Thus a location within the area of the New Forest should not be contemplated for this project. Station 2 Station 1

  4. Location of the lifeboat station 3 1

  5. Location of the lifeboat station 3 Advantages: Very close to a village Good access and parking Details: Opening date: 1867 Crew: 40 people. Parking Boats: 1 Disadvantages: Swell perpendicular to the ramp Low depth for the boats (a footbridge is necessary) Small boat capacity

  6. Location of the lifeboat station 4 Location: 2

  7. Location of the lifeboat station 4 2 Advantages: Very close to a city Good access Swell not very important Good depth for boats Details: Opening date: 1965 Crew: undefined small Parking Boats: 2 Disadvantages: Swell perpendicular to the ramp

  8. Proposal of new location for a lifeboat station in this zone(5) Probably advantages: Very close to a village Good access Good parking Good depth for boats Probably disadvantages: Swell perpendicular to the ramp (decision of the direction of the ramp)

  9. Proposal of new location for a lifeboat station in this zone(6) The location of the Portsmouth Lifeboat Station looks very good in many ways. It could be a great location just improving some aspects (access and parking)

  11. Existing Life Boat Station: Littlehampton (7) Location of the Station

  12. Lifeboat Location 8: Bognor Regis Life Boat Station : in front of the sea

  13. Bognor Regis (Live Local, 2007) (RNLI, 2007b) 210351 (Live Local, 2007)

  14. Bognor Regis (RNLI, 2007a) Station Constructed Here? (Live Local, 2007) 210351

  15. Bognor Regis • Population 22,555 (wikepedia, 2007b) • Popular holiday destination • Potential to replace the nearby station @ Littlehampton • Long sloping beach - Use of existing pier • Revitalisation of pier • Charitable Donations? 210351

  16. Station 9 – East Wittering East Wittering (Live Local, 2007) Existing Station @ Selsey (RNLI, 2007a) (Live Local, 2007)

  17. Station 9 • Potential to replace neighbouring smaller stations at Selsey and Hayling Island • Able to serve Chichester Marina and nearby campsites • Access by existing slipway • Nearby Chichester with population of 25,000 (wikepedia, 2007a)

  18. Lifeboat Location 10: Worthing Example of location

  19. Worthing • 100, 000 inhabitants, 12th largest population (480,000 people) in the UK (10th in England) • National Park, tourist attraction

  20. Lifeboat location 11: Reconstruction of Shoreham lifeboat station • Site already prepared to construction • Protected from wind and water movements

  21. Lifeboat location 12: Construction of a lifeboat station in Portslade =>In the bay so protected from wind and waves => easy access to the port and the sea

  22. Lifeboat Location Yarmouth Yarmouth is a small town that is situated on the north face of the Isle of White. The lifeboat station at Yarmouth is a very busy station, situated 9 miles from Mudeford, 10 miles from Calshot and 20 miles from Bembridge. The station currently provides all-weather cover in the Western Solent and from Hengistbury Head to St Catherine's and out into the main channel shipping lanes. (RNLI, 1999) Yarmouth lifeboat station operates the largest class of lifeboat, the Severn class. Picture from Google Earth • The sea conditions at Yarmouth will be mostly sheltered from the english channel and the harbour wall will shield the lifeboat station and the rest of the harbour from any storms and high winds. • Yarmouth is an ideal base for a lifeboat station as it has easy access to areas along the solent as well as the busy commercial routes in and out of Southamton. It also has easy access to the English channel. There should also be easy access to any materials or resources needed during construction phase. • A major problem would be the space restructions in the harbour that could effect the construction of a new lifeboat station.

  23. Lifeboat Location Mudeford Mudeford is a small town that is situated near Bournmouth, Dorset. The lifeboat station is built upon sand banks at the exit of the River Stour. The lifeboat station at Mudeford has a small inshore lifeboat that capable of patrolling the busy beachs at Bournmouth, which is essential during the busy tourism season. (rnli, 2007a) With a larger lifeboat station at this loaction then it would become possible for the lifeboat to be able to answer calls from further afield and be able to answer calls of distress from all the way along the solent. Picture from Google Earth • A disadvantage of the Mudeford location is the surrounding geology as just east of Mudeford near Highcliff and Barton-on-sea there are major problems with coastal defences due to large amounts of longshore drift. Altough Mudeford appears to be sheltered from the worst of it there may be a possibility that it could effect any large structures built along this stretch of coast. • Mudeford would be an ideal base for a lifeboat station as it has easy access to areas along the solent including the busy tourist beach at Bournmouth. There should also be easy access to any materials or resources needed during construction phase and other emergency services due to its close proximity to Bournmouth.

  24. Unfeasable Locations Picture from Google Earth • . The following locations along the south of England Coast are not feasable for a lifeboat station due to access or geological problems. • The mud cliffs between Mudeford and Barton-on-sea are unstable due to a big erosion problemcaused by both waves and wind therefore it would not be a good idea to build here. • The same could be said at the cliffs on the Isle of Whites Coast they are eroding and would need some kind of coasteal defence if the lifeboat station was built here there is also a big problem with access along this coastline and getting the construction equipment in place to build the station will be a problem..
