The North Norfolk Coastal Environment

These pages are currently in the process of being reviewed and updated. Whilst the contents are still relevant and of use to researchers, students and the like, it is important to note that additional projects and works have also been undertaken. Allowances should also be made; in line with inflation and technological advances; for costing adjustments to monetary values since the first publication of these pages.

Document 1 - An Introduction to the North Norfolk Coastal Environment (.pdf 0.6Mb)
The information provided is intended to provide a simple introduction to the cliffed coastline of North Norfolk and consequently some issues are simplified and others ignored. Numerous text books and papers exist on coastal processes and these should be consulted if extra detail or accuracy is desired.
Document 2 - Coastal Protection in North Norfolk (.pdf 2.1Mb)
A brief history of coastal management in North Norfolk and a review of the current defences.
Document 3 - An Introduction to Coastal Defence (.pdf 0.1Mb)
Definitions, policies and the development of a coast protection scheme.
Document 4 - Additional Information on Coast Protection (.pdf 0.1Mb)
Shoreline management plans, coast protection funding, public accountability and the Prioritisation Scoring Scheme.
Document 5 - Sheringham to Lowestoft SMP Subcells 3b Phase 2 (.pdf 9Mb)
The Shoreline Management Plan Executive Summary 1996.
Document 6 - Sediment Subcell 3a (.pdf 0.1Mb)
Summary of Adopted Defence Policies
Document 7 - Sheringham Coast Protection Scheme (.pdf 2.5Mb)
The challenge of protecting the coast at Sheringham.
Document 8 - Clifton Way Coast Protection Scheme (.pdf 4.5Mb)
The paper describes the work undertaken to stabilise a cliff failure at Clifton Way, Overstrand, which occurred in the early 1990s. The cost of the work undertaken for this scheme was approximately £1.34 million pounds while the total cost of the works, scheme design and associated expenses was about £1.75 million.
Document 9 - Coast Protection Assets (.pdf 0.1Mb)
The 2001 version of a detailed list of North Norfolk's coast protection assets.
Document 10 - Ostend to Cart Gap Coastal Strategy Study (.pdf 2.7Mb)
Provides a framework for the sustainable management of the coastal defences between Ostend and Cart Gap, including Happisburgh.
Document 11 - Cromer Coastal Defence Strategy Study (.pdf 1.4Mb)
Provides a framework for the sustainable management of the coastal defences that extend across the Cromer frontage. The Strategy identifies opportunities and constraints for coastal management over the next 50 years, as well as a more detailed Coastal Defence Implementation Plan for the next 2 years.
Document 12 - Kelling to Cromer Coastal Defence Strategy Study Executive Summary (.pdf 23Mb)
The Kelling to Cromer Coastal Defence Strategy Study provides a framework for the sustainable management of the coastal defences of this section of coastal frontage.
Document 13 - Overstrand to Walcott Strategy Study
Investigates the sustainability of a selective 'Hold the Line' / 'Do Nothing' management policy, for this section of coastal frontage.
