The highlights, a checklist, and doing small things better

Planning and the Coast

There is no specific planning policy guidance on coastal regeneration

Planning policy focuses on adaption and reshaping settlements vulnerable to sea level rises and flooding

The Local Development Framework is the vehicle for developing  locally distinctive responses to the issues affecting individual coastal resorts

The Planning System face challenges in providing housing and business sites in areas of flood risk or in resorts hemmed-in by cliffs, agricultural land, AONBs

Protecting and enhancing the build and natural environments are important planning services in resort areas.

These are a snap-shot of some of the issues raised in the book. To join the debate and share your coastal experiences and knowledge please contact: Patrick.browne@lincolnshire.gov.uk
