Teresa Fenn
Principal Consultant with RPA
01508 528465
teresa.fenn@rpaltd.co.uk
Risk & Policy Analysts (RPA) has worked with the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and
West Norfolk (BCKLWN) and Great Yarmouth Borough Council (GYBC) on two
pathfinder projects. Our project for GYBC looked at opportunities for adaptation to
coastal erosion in Scratby and California. This included identification of obstacles and
barriers that affect the potential for adaptation and covered areas such as funding,
legislation, policy and practicality. Our project for BCKLWN (as part of the wider NNDC
Pathfinder) has looked at equitable mechanisms for securing contributions to cover the
costs of flood defences for the coastline between Wolferton Creek and South
Hunstanton. This followed identification in the SMP2 of the need for local solutions to
the potential funding shortfall. Both projects have involved significant engagement with
the local communities and have given the communities the opportunity to determine
how, when and where they would like to respond to the potential increased flooding or
erosion risk.
