We have worked with the Town & Country Planning Association (TCPA) to deliver 3 webinars on coastal management.  These webinars aimed to provide coastal planners and elected members with an understanding of coastal management tools including Shoreline Management Plans (SMPs) and the National Coastal Erosion Risk Map (NCERM).  They also introduced some of the links between coastal management and spatial planning.

The 3 webinars were held on:

• 20 May – An introduction to coastal planning (for planners in coastal authorities)
• 21 May – An introduction to coastal planning for elected members
• 22 May – Coastal planning – tools and best practice

Thank you to everyone who joined us on these calls. Over 370 people joined the webinars over the 3 sessions from a variety of local authorities around the English coast. All the events were recorded, and have been made available on the TCPA YouTube channel.
