The decision to rebuild the Beachy Head lighthouse was influenced by two factors[1]. The former light, positioned on the cliff, proved unsatisfactory due to frequent obscuration by mist[1]. Additionally, the disintegration of the cliff, caused by the sea's relentless pounding, posed a threat to the original structure[1].

The new lighthouse was built to remedy these issues[1]. By moving the light closer to the water, it ensured better visibility, and a sturdier construction was needed to withstand the elements[1].
