The project objective was to implement flood protection measures to protect the works from an extreme flood event, including the need to recover / maintain serviceability. With the nature of the ground conditions, there was a risk that the site would flood by: Overtopping, based on breach of defences; and Excessive ground water levels caused by increased hydraulic head.
Dawlish Warren is an eroding sand spit at the mouth of the Exe Estuary in Devon and plays a vital role in protecting key infrastructure and property from flooding, including 5km of the London-Penzance mainline railway.

Both Ottery St. Mary and Fluxton Sewage Treatment Works (STWs) were overloaded, with substantial catchment growth forecasted within the 2031 design horizon, which would exacerbate the problem at both sites.

The aim of the project was to identify the underlying issue with the existing sea defence in Torcross and rectify before the Winter 2016/17 storms. Funding was secured from the FDGiA and the £2.4m project was completed within 14 months of failure of the defence being identified.
