Yes Roberta I agree with what you say. I was just trying to find a compromise situation (engineering approval allowing) between public access/privacy/and storm resilience.

Surely the primary purpose of the repairs is to protect the rail line. Now, I'm not an engineer but........surely it follows that if the rail line is given greater protection than so will the properties located behind it. And whilst I appreciate there is a potential invasion of privacy issue I would have thought that protection from the sea would be the issue of primary importance by all those ...

There is a quarter page ad in this week's Dawlish Post (see bottom page 74) concerning the proposed works. I've followed the links on the website shown in the ad and this link should take you straight to what is being proposed. https://marinelicensing.marinemanagement.org.uk/mmo/fox?thread_id=e2bIyMh_dtoEjVpal&app_mnem=live&xfsessionid=sid_e2bIyj2_dtoEjVpal
