Decision
RESOLVED:
Cabinet is recommended to establish an initial budget as detailed in the exempt appendix funded from the Corporate Plan Delivery Plan Reserve to commission a piece of independent research of the opportunities being proposed for the future of the Bacton Energy Hub site, particularly as a location for the production of hydrogen and the capture and storage of carbon, in order that the Council can take an informed position with respect to these significant proposals in support of the UK’s Net Zero ambitions.
Reason for the decision:
To position North Norfolk strongly in respect of developing proposals for the Bacton Energy Hub to make a significant contribution to the UK’s Net Zero strategy and ambitions.
