... "The digger was positioned in front of a partially collapsed boundary wall at the rear of the beach. It lifted the stones into gabion baskets which were also in front of the wall. The wall separates the garden of Caswell resident and entrepreneur Chris Kiley from the Blue Flag beach in Gower."

I have seen what he was doing but I was not there at the time the police arrived. He bought the wire cases empty instead of buying them with stones inside then proceeded to remove stones from the beach to fill the baskets. One could question as to whether this is legal, are we all allowed to take a digger on a public beach and remove whatever we want? |  | | |

The guy is loaded, why on earth would he do something as dull as this. |  | | |

Posters may say that Mr Kiley should have brought in wire cages already filled with aggregate, but presumably that too would have needed planning permission as he was adding material to the beach, and there would have been questions about the nature of those materials and whether adding them would cause any issues. This seems a grey area to me as Chris Kiley may not have been removing any stones from the beach, but merely encasing them to prevent degradation of the bank of pebbles. I suppose there might be debate about where the beach ends and his land begins and any movement of materials across that boundary. Best to communicate with the LA in advance, but I wonder how quickly bureaucracy would have moved. | | | |

It is his wall on his land that he was replacing, he was not adding materials to the beach. Come down and have a look. | | | |

The gabions come empty and are filled on sure with graded rock to suit the grid. If it is filled with ungraded material you can buy facia stones usually immitation rock.
If he does not have a facia and a suitable grading the gabions will degenerate and the stone fall out under load and weather. |  |

I bought my gabions full nearly 20 years ago galvanised with currently no signs of any wear whatsoever. | | | |

In large scale works this is not economic. The gabions are installed at the works site. This is my experience. Moving a massive wall by truck would be a big task. | |

It is not large scale works, if you want to discuss it pop down and have a look. I have been on the beach there four times in the last two weeks. It's currently on stop because of the legal issues. The gabions are going in as a retaining wall and the plan is to continue the existing wall back along where it has collapsed. He was just stupid to try and do it in August on a nice day with a beach full of people. That part of the beach is used in the main by locals, the majority who really dislike his arrogance. He is on a hiding to nothing. | | | |
