As well as the survey, the cash will be used to develop a comprehensive business plan for repairs to the wall.
A grant of £350,000 will be sought from the HLF at the next stage of the funding process.
This will be used to carry out the repairs to the sea wall and to develop educational activities to help people understand the history of this beautiful location.
The assessment work can only be carried out by draining the lake and MARLENs will also be taking advantage of this to carry out other maintenance work, including dredging the lake and removing litter.
North Somerset Council executive member for parks and open spaces, Peter Bryant, apologised for any inconvenience but said the work was "essential".
