November 2009

The Marine and Coastal Access Act (2009) introduces a marine planning system in UK waters for the first time.

The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) will have responsibility for preparing marine plans in the English inshore and offshore marine regions.

Before the MMO can begin planning the Government needs to identify the appropriate
boundaries to divide the regions into plan areas.

This consultation invites your views on a series of proposed plan areas within the English Inshore and English Offshore areas, and for the considerations which we propose the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) take into account when deciding the order in which they develop marine plans for each area.

The consultation document, accompanying Impact Assessment, and an
Interactive pdf are available at:

All responses should be received by close on 16 February 2010.

Planning Policy Statement 20 - Development and Coastal Change (September 2009)

The Government is presently consulting on a new Planning Policy Statement “Development and Coastal Change”. This sets out national planning policy in relation to dealing with coastal erosion.

Local planning authorities will have to take
account of this policy. As planning authority, the North York Moors National Park Authority has considered the draft
Planning Policy Statement and will be sending comments to the Government in relation to the implications of the policy upon that part of the coast in the National Park.

The attached report was presented to the Authority’s Planning Committee in September 2009.
