Thousands of tonnes of Norwegian granite could help strengthen Hunstanton's sea defences under new protection plans.
Up to 10,000 tonnes of granite could be imported from Norway to strengthen sea defences at Hunstanton under plans to protect the Norfolk coastline.
Engineers have identified cracks in the town's promenade sea wall, with council officials warning that parts of the structure could eventually fail if repair and reinforcement work is not carried out.
The proposals would see large granite boulders, known as rock armour, shipped from Norway to the Port of King's Lynn before being transported by road to Hunstanton. Once in place, the rocks would help absorb the force of waves and reduce erosion, protecting the sea wall from further damage.
The scheme forms part of ongoing efforts to safeguard the popular seaside resort from the effects of coastal erosion and increasingly severe weather.
Subject to planning approval and the necessary environmental consents, work is expected to begin next year.
Council leaders say the investment will help preserve Hunstanton's seafront infrastructure, protecting homes, businesses and public spaces while ensuring the town remains resilient to future coastal challenges.
