Break the force of the waves out at sea, build the reef.
This is exactly what I said in my "what if" post , it is not rocket science. In the second world war we managed to build a artificial harbour that was towed to the coast of France Just don't get the Enviroment Agency involved.
Don't know why, it is a forgone conclusion that the secret society that is Teignbridge Planning Commitee will agree to it.
Read the Telegraph report above and in case you say its the papers read Hansard reporting from parliament, and look at the historic low and high tide lines hat show how high the beach used to be.
Surely this all goes to show that the Enviroment Agency has got its priorities in a mixed state, it has been clear to me that the major problem along the railway line is that the beach has been eroded over the years leaving the line unprotected.
