Shoreline Management Plans, Planning & Coastal Change Management Areas

A joint Southern Coastal Group and SCOPAC workshop was held at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton on the 14th September 2011.

The key aim of the workshop was to raise awareness that the coastal erosion and flood risk areas determined through the second round Shoreline Management Plans can often provide the best available scientific evidence to underpin the designation of Coastal Change Management Areas and development of planning policies.

Twenty two different authorities were represented by coastal engineering officers, planners and elected members, with approximately half of the 50 attendees from Planning Departments.
