Outside Yvonne Lendrop's fence, one of the ramparts should go, about one and a half meters above the ground.

She has appealed the Land and Environmental Court's decision to give the go - ahead for perhaps Sweden's largest embankment project.

- It is clear that you should protect everything that is to be protected, but I think you start at the wrong end, says Yvonne Lendrop.

Several property owners, golf clubs and authorities such as the county administrative board have also appealed the ruling.

Vellinge municipality also appealed because they were rejected on a couple of points.

Wants to protect the buildings and the municipality's infrastructure

Vellinge municipality's proposal is to build dikes near the buildings to protect it from floods from the sea and from estimated future sea level rise.

80 percent of the protection will be 1.5 meters or lower above existing ground, but where the ground is low, the protection can be up to three meters above ground and in some places become a wall instead of earth wall.

- Already today we have problems in some places that can destroy properties and infrastructure, says Erik Andersson project manager in Vellinge municipality.

Internal and external protection

There are those who want both lower and higher protection and those who want to see an outer protective wall instead as close to the sea as possible.

But an external protection would also affect sensitive nature areas even more and the county administrative board has already appealed the internal protection.

The Supreme Land and Environmental Court is on site for two weeks and today it is a tour to show where the intended protection should go.

- This court trial is in some ways leading how these issues should be handled in the future, says Erik Andersson.

But the decision can be appealed to the Supreme Court.
