From 1995 to 2000, West Dorset District Council, assisted by its consultants, have been carrying out a series of preliminary studies to gain information for the conceptual design of effective and economic coast protection works for the remaining three geographical areas. The studies have been both fairly detailed and wide in scope in order to address the relatively complex nature of the coastal erosion and instability.
