The future of the site, including its car park, initially became a point of discussion after it was sold by the Lewis family in 2020 and later fenced off.

Earlier this year, States Members voted overwhelmingly to approve all four parts of a proposition from Chief Minister Lyndon Farnham to acquire the coastal site for £3.6 million and gift it to the charity.

The National Trust has said it is “excited” about the sale, which is due to go through the Royal Court today.

“We hope to open the car park and enable access to the beach as quickly as possible,” the Trust said in a social media post.

The Grève de Lecq site had previously been on the market for £5m undeveloped, or £11m with a four-bedroom house and 100-seat café built on it – a project for which planning permission had previously been granted.

The Trust has also shared several artistic impressions of what could be done with the site.
