A project to add Hythe Pier to the list of architectural and historically important buildings in England.
In conjunction with Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust (HIWWT), HPHA have organised for a large sea life mural to be created on and displayed at the end of the pier.
A structural survey and follow up report was commissioned. The purpose of the survey was to determine the Pier’s general condition and to make recommendations for the remediation of, and designate repair timeframes for, various structural defects.
Inspection of the condition of the buildings at the pier head (seaward side), the ticket office, and workshop buildings (landward side), as part of a Feasibility Assessment.

An inspection of the pier to determine its structural arrangement and general condition. This was a high-level inspection, providing general observations and preliminary recommendations. This assessment was performed to help HPHA plan the next steps in the preservation of the pier.
