No doubt there were many forests in the area which is now the North Sea before its inundation and this would only have been circa 7000 years ago. 

 

Personally I would love to refill that area - it could be done by starting off with the Dogger Bank gradually depositing what reasonably clean waste materials we have there so that it a reasonably quick time we would develop Dogger Island, then over time expand it from there.

 

By the time it is completed it would then put us in the position of having a more continental climate, which I would love, though I would foresee that there would be some dissenters, e.g. the Thames Streamer Lovers, who like the additional snow in winter but on the more positive side this would be compensated by colder easterlies.
