The government has announced that it is to relax the rules concerning development in East Anglia.

The region, thought to be exposed to coastal erosion, will once again be open for business and is to see increased tourism activity brought to the area.

According to the Eastern Daily Press, the locations that are to be affected by erosion within 20 years will have temporary developments, such as beach huts and caravan parks.

Meanwhile, areas that will not be affected for another 50 to 100 years will see hotels, shops and leisure facilities being built.

Explaining the government's decision, John Healey, planning minister, said it is important to boost the economy of the region.

"We're proposing to change the planning rules to allow safe time-limited development such as beach huts, car parks and cafes to be built in coastal areas if there's an economic benefit," he said.

The Environment Agency has launched a consultation on the management of north Norfolk's shoreline in order to assess the flood and erosion risks, with a view to protecting the area and creating a sustainable environment for the next 100 years.
