  To my mind that sounds the best solution. There is no corner here in rural England that wants a bloody great truck park next to it. The NIMBYs will win if anyone tries to foister an ugly beast like that on anyones village doorstep.
  
  I saw them reclaiming land here in the harbour. The area behind piers Dover8 and Dover9 was sea until a few years ago. Twas a big job though and probably an expensive one. However it would be a good solution. Although people get very excited and animated when anything is put in the sea too as they do on land, look at the hoohaa about windfarms at sea, so it would have to be gently but forcibly handled.
  
  It was amazing to watch how the reclamation was done. Like they say...hard work fascinates me I could watch it all day!! They first but an iron wall into the designated area of sea. Then they proceeded to pump the water out one side while filling it with something like liquid sand the other end. Eventually all the water was gone and the area was solid...looked an expensive process. I think if I remember right that the job was carried out by a Dutch company.
