Decision Made
1. That the Resilient Coast Outline Business Case, attached at Appendix A of report ES/1162, be accepted as a basis for a £9.1m programme of innovative coastal adaptation along the East Suffolk and Great Yarmouth coastal frontages.
2. That it be acknowledged that the Outline Business Case approval by the Environment Agency will release the allocation of funding to East Suffolk Council and the Cabinet’s approval of the Outline Business Case is therefore required by the Environment Agency to release funds.
