Pathfinder Actions and Decisions from the Project Board
Meeting of 10 May 2010
Key actions and decisions made at Project Board concerning the Pathfinder
Programme, to be followed by meeting minutes.
Action
Ian Coupe, Steve Blatch & Peter Frew to meet to coordinate approach required concerning the land adjacent
to the car park at Happisburgh.
Bruton Knowles will contact the Beach Road owners and
arrange initial valuations at current value and no risk
value.
Provide numbers of expressions of interest from the
Property Advisors to Sandra.
Due to the limits of state aid it is likely that Manor Farm
Caravan Park will not be eligible for the full budgeted
allocation. The allocation will require calculation and the
excess funds should be transferred to a contingency
fund.
There is no allocated fund for communications. This
forms part of the project management fund, but a specific
fund will be allocated.
Begin negotiations for the land at Trimingham through
Bruton Knowles. A limit of £40,000 has been set. The
purchase should not be finalised until planning consent is
gained or an option purchased and the corporate
acquisitions policy is adopted.
Pursue planning consent on the proposed site at
Trimingham to enable purchase to complete.
Pursue the covenants on the Pilgrims Shelter to enable a
more informed decision to be made with regard to its
future uses.
Confirm the planning consent exemption for the Marrams
footpath
Beeston Regis beach debris removal project will
complete in 2 weeks and will be under budget. The
excess funds will be transferred to the contingency fund.
Continue with the appointment of the Business Advisor
and Marketing contracts.
Monitor responses from the invitation sent for the
business support launch on the 20 May, and directly
phone businesses if it is a low response rate.
Press release for the business support launch.
On site publicly required for pathfinder projects as they
progress. Poster template to be designed.
The comment in the reference group minutes needs to
be replied to concerning the funds available from Defra
for demolition and disbursements. The funds are

available for all residential properties.
Inform the Reference Group that they will be unable to

view the report to cabinet prior to the members as this
would not follow the protocol. They will be able to view it
as it becomes public.
Decisions
Following the report provided by Happisburgh Coast Watch concerning their
wish to relocate their lookout, it was decided that this would be considered
should an appropriate a piece of land become available as the projects
progress and a dialogue should be maintained.
Manor Farm Caravan Park should complete the business support programme
to inform the relocation. The board suggest that it would be beneficial for the
community, business and pathfinder programme to investigate a short term
plan whereby the caravans on the cliff edge can be relocated onto the
adjacent field, with a long term plan of complete relocation.
Set up a contingency fund for excess project funds. These can then be
reallocated as the need becomes apparent.
Agreement to increase the Marrams footpath relocation project budget by
£10,000 to be funded from the contingency fund.
Issues Identified
The waste pipes from the caravan park at Happisburgh will become under
threat. This is separated from the caravan site project and Anglian Water is
aware of the issue.
The board expressed a concern that the Reference Group was going beyond
the terms of reference as agreed. It agreed that it would be beneficial to
refocus the group by refreshing them on the projects and their aims and the
role of the group. It is essential to remember that ‘we are starting where we
are and not where we would like to be’ and that the projects are already
decided and will only be amended if the board chooses to do so.
Outstanding Issues
Add link to NNDC website of the
Heritage web pages and vice versa.
Find heritage pages on website and
request they are made more obvious
Pull the Trimingham PID and recent
feasibility report together into one
document.
Send letter to the new Secretary of
State stating the importance of the
Pathfinder Projects and the need to
disseminate the lessons learned.
Investigate whether funds can be
added to a ‘trust fund’ for
Trimingham Village Hall for future
availability should we not be able to
complete the project.
