Arun District Council completed the first scheme as described in the Arun to Pagham Beach Management Plan (ATP BMP) at Middleton-on-Sea in August 2018. The timber breastwork was repaired where appropriate and the greensward stabilised. In addition, the sea wall at Old Point underwent repairs; new expansion joints were installed throughout and spalling was infilled with a structural repair mortar specifically designed for vertical repairs in marine environments. The groyne field adjacent to Old Point has also been restored and adjusted in anticipation of a shingle recycling scheme.
