The proposal that emerged from the conference planned to build eighty-three towers, two eleven-gun towers (known as 'redoubts') at Eastbourne and Rye, and a four-gun tower at Dymchurch, as well as the modernisation of one of Henry VIII's forts, Sandgate Castle at Shorncliffe.
Pitt was convinced of the need for towers, much to the disgust of John Brown, whose own project, the Royal Military Canal, was overshadowed by the Martello issue at the conference.
The redoubt at Rye was cancelled, and instead built at Dymchurch in place of the four-gun tower, and the number of cannon for the redoubts dropped to ten.
