The Bristol channel has been subject to commercial agregate/sand dredging for about 50 years. In that time the sand level on my local storm beach has fallen by more than 10 metres vertically .That is, the sand has been removed to such an extent that it has exposed prehistoric peat beds over more than a 7 mile length of beach. The adjacent beaches have also been affected to some lesser degree.
Sand is a finite resource you dig a hole and sand from elsewhere moves to fill it in. Eventually the ripple effect reaches the extremeties i.e the local beaches and their sands flow back towards the source of the dredging thus removing it from the beach..
I would oppose this scheme on numerous ecological grounds
