If you just take WW2 it is the location for the highest number of RAF spitfire MIA's. Hardly surprising as it sits below the last bit of airspace before our homefront.
Regardless, the Marine Conservation designation has nothing to do with its war grave status. I find it hard to believe th government are going to sit back and watch DHB dredge up their environmental claim. Considering DWDR has mostly been paid for by the EU and we are still waiting for a single 'local' job creation, I have no concerns about the EU paying a bit more for some reputable sand!
