Coastal Management Plan

NNDC is formulating a Coastal Management Plan (CMP) which aims to coordinate all the necessary actions to manage the impacts of coastal change in an effective and integrated fashion. The CMP is a non-statutory plan, which will follow the process outlined below. The involvement of local communities in the development of the plan is essential.

Stage	Progress
Raise awareness of the CMP amongst local communities	Annual meetings with parishes have taken place and a leaflet has been distributed amongst relevant organisations and communities
Understand the implications of coastal change on the settlements selected in the Local Development Framework Core Strategy	Workshops were held in the five Coastal Service Villages along the eroding coastline. These are available to view or download below: Bacton Coastal Service Village Workshop - Feedback Report Happisburgh Coastal Service Village Workshop - Feedback Report Mundesley Coastal Service Village Workshop - Feedback Report Overstrand Coastal Service Village Workshop - Feedback Report Weybourne Coastal Service Village Workshop - Feedback Report
Determine the 'scope' of the CMP and its relationship with other plans and strategies	A 'scoping meeting' was held in May 2008
Undertake research into the impacts of coastal erosion and the possible options to enable communities to adapt in response to it.	Consultants were appointed to undertake an evidence gathering study. The final report and annexes are available to view or download below: North Norfolk CMP Evidence Gathering Study - Final Report Annex 1 - Assessment of the Effects of Coastal Erosion on Infrastructure Annex 2 - Implementing a Roll-Back Policy Annex 3 - Investigating Blight Annex 4 - Summary of Discussions: Bacton & Overstrand Workshops Annex 5 - Report on the Workshop for Caravan Site Owners & Operators Annex 6 - Assessing Opportunities for Financial Intervention Annex 7 - Market Sensitivity to Coastal Erosion
Develop a shared set of ideas about how we should go about managing coastal change	A workshop for representatives of coastal communities was held in November 2008. A report of the day will be available here, once received from our consultants.
Public participation on the draft CMP document	Once the document has been drafted comments will be invited from the general public and other interested parties - expected to be summer 2009
