The first Going Dutch<\/a> workshop (Going Dutch I) led to the formation of the MPP and outlined several \u2018blue sky\u2019 options for the future of the area, helping the community to understand the complexities and costs of coastal defence and spatial planning as well as helping local authorities and agencies appreciate the concerns and wishes of residents.<\/p>\n In June 2008, in response to the Draft East Head to Pagham Harbour coastal defence strategy (CDS) prepared by the Environment Agency and Chichester District Council, the MPP organised a second workshop \u2013 Going Dutch II. Coastal, infrastructure and planning specialists from the Netherlands and the UK reviewed the draft CDS and examined other options put forward by local residents. These options were holding the line with hard sea defences, off shore reefs and feeding the coastline. They also looked at the consequence of \u2018no national funding.\u2019<\/p>\n Follow this link to view the report for\u00a0Going Dutch on the Manhood Peninsula<\/a>\u00a0the first Going Dutch report.<\/p>\n
