The bypass is not going to happen in our lifetime.
As to the traffic disturbing the Cove , I don't think so.
The reason the tall stone started to lean was that the packing stones on the outside were removed when the cottage was built. It was stable until the cottage was destroyed and the foundations removed.

... although, having said that, I've seen instances of houses destabilised through heavy lorry vibration, so it's something that should be kept in mind. Maybe some sort of restriction on lorries?

Littlestone, yes , good idea. How about posting up a map showing your proposed route for a bypass? ;)

Or maybe it needs a tunnel?!
