Decision Details

1. The implementation of Option 1, the Amalgamation would support the Project Team in ensuring that critical pathways are met, and progress is made through the project stages in a timely manner. 
2. Best practice gathered from other coastal projects in East Suffolk such as the Gorleston to Lowestoft Coastal Strategy and the Lowestoft Flood Risk Management Project demonstrates that a robust governance structure supports decision making and aids liaison with partner organisations. In addition, communities and partners are reassured that decision making is sound when 
supported by good project governance. 

Option 1. To start the Resilient Coasts Project Board meetings with the Members of the JCPB Suffolk and additional Pilot Sites included. This would reduce the number of meetings attended by officers and members. And the need to set up another group to 
incorporate the additional pilot sites Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. 
Option 2. To request the members of the JCPB Suffolk also attend the Resilient Coasts Project Board meetings and request other Pilots sites request to attend the JCPB. 
Option 3. To request the members of the JCPB Suffolk also attend the Resilient Coasts Project Board meetings in addition to the NCPB Suffolk meetings. In addition request that the Pilot Sites for Resilient Coast set up another Group to include Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth.
