Removing the rubble from the sand dunes will bring long lasting benefits for people and wildlife. The plan is to use most of the rubble to create a more sustainable, similar sized car park further in land. Restoring the frontal sand dunes to their natural state will re-invigorate the natural processes needed for rare wildlife to thrive. Removing the rubble from the beach will create a safer, more natural space for people to enjoy. Healthy mobile sand dunes also act as a natural sea defence.
