    Very regular bulldozing is now needed to replace sections of beach being swept away in front of Dover Sea Sports Centre. This acute erosion is directly caused by altered and now unpredictable tidal flows along the beach. It then has to be returned. (Who pays for this recycling?) The bulldozing is over some 100 metres or so along the beach. These permanent changes are being bought about by the in-harbour activities of the Western Dock development which creep ever further along the beach.

    Without permanent beach rebuilding the Centre will be undermined and long sections of the beach gone forever. This situation was clearly going to happen. DHB’s marine expert surveyors did not explore this projection. Such erosion is expected collateral damage in a dock rebuilding environment like Dover which the marine surveyors could and should have assessed.
