Owners could be compensated by at least £100k by North Norfolk District Council.

NNDC's cabinet agreed on Tuesday that there would be "exceptional circumstances" where it would have to spend more than £100,000 on buying land and buildings.The cabinet also agreed to submit a business case to secure the funding from the Environment Agency by the end of March.

Rob Goodliffe, the CTAP programme manager at NNDC, said it would take some time to "get the ball rolling" on various projects but warned people were facing an "immediate" need. "This is a great opportunity for us to put the right things in place to help our coastal communities where we are not going to be able to protect in the future but also provide that learning which will help government policy."Campaigner Malcolm Kerby, who has been involved for two decades with Happisburgh's Coastal Concern Action Group, said he was delighted the CTAP was moving forward.

However, he argued the 2027 end date for the project was too far off, and that homeowners needed help to move sooner."We cannot have defences in these areas because they are in a site of special scientific interest.Find BBC News: East of England on
