Notes de l'éditeur
- Some of you may have visited the North Norfolk Coast when your conference was held at the UEA some years ago. The pace of change in Norfolk is slow, but not for all things. In that time it has become significantly smaller. The rate at which the coastline has receded closely correlates with that at which my hairline has – in which case you may not recognise me!
- Happisburgh
- People have always bee affected
- It’s always been of human interest - people have always wanted to look over the edge!
- The railway cottages were built
- At which point engineers began to make predictions and draw lines
- The SMP was developed and published
- This didn’t ‘Manage’ anything.
- Meanwhile, the impacts were becoming all too apparent…….
- Lack of investment causing blight and dereliction
- Defences reached point of no return
- Turning point was when ramp was lost
- Beach strewn with debris of failed defences and rendered unusable
- The shape of the coast became more pronounced and it was clear that the community was increasingly vulnerable and that there was no going back
- Also no way forward
- It was apparent that the coast was the coast was not metaphorically one of these! So what was to be done?
- Complex, unprecedented set of issues: but no resources, no policy, no mechanisms, no idea!
- Start campaigning – for social justice
- Start talking to people
- Start scribbling
- Urgent need to take some action
- The community contributed more that £50k for temporary rock defences – buying time
- We could then begin a meaningful dialogue – leading to the coastal change Pathfinder projects
- Development of a roll-back policy: businesses and dwellings (houses not households). Pathfinder award adaptation in advance of change stability/ normality tackling dereliction and blight maintaining investment enabling individuals to move on with their lives
- Acquired 9 houses for demolition
- Complex demolition – neighbouring bungalow remains. Cliff top
- We worked with a landoSacrifices in the name of managing coastal change
- The car park, beach access ramp, picnic area and enhanced cliff top environment
