It has emerged in the last 48 hours that one of my constituents has removed 50 ft of sand dunes in St. Anne's to improve the view from his house. It turns out that that is a legal act and, from inquiries with English Heritage, it seems that it does not have any powers to deal with this removal of an important coastal feature, with all its impact on biodiversity. Will the Secretary of State have early discussions with English Heritage to rectify this problem?

Not only does this remove "a costal feature" but it breaches the sea defences.I have viewed this today.In my view this is clearly "building work in on or over land"and as such requires planning permission.
