\n North Norfolk District Council is hosting the sessions to mark the co-creation of the first coastal transition plans.\n<\/p>\n

\n The plans were developed by the communities in Happisburgh and Trimingham, where the advancing coastline\u00a0could mean the\u00a0loss of homes, land and infrastructure. \u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n The plans were developed as a starting point and over time they can be developed and evolved with progress.\n<\/p>\n

\n The\u00a0first event\u00a0is being held at\u00a0Church Rooms in Happisurgh on July 15 from 3pm to 7pm, and\u00a0the second at Trimingham Hall on July 17 from 3pm to 7pm. \u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n While the council has previously indicated that large-scale sea defences may not be feasible<\/a>, campaigners say more must be done to slow erosion and support affected communities.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n In its coastal management plan, the district council said: \u201cThe council is committed to seeking a sustainable coastal management approach for the north Norfolk coast.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cThis will involve continued coast protection where practicable, however, it is likely that it will not be environmental\u00a0sustainable or financially viable in some locations.\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n Malcom Kerby, co-founder of the Coastal Action Group, helped spearhead the fundraising efforts<\/a> which brought the original rock armour to Happisburgh.\n<\/p>\n

\n His speech at a Coastwise Liasion meeting last month suggested a similar route can be taken today. \u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n The meetings will have a presentation about the plans and provide an opportunity for people to learn about adaptation priorities. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"North Norfolk District Council is hosting the sessions to mark the co-creation of the first coastal transition plans.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":691788,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1397,90,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-691787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-environment","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=691787"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691787\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/691788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=691787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=691787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=691787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
