  1. Linking Marine and Terrestrial Planning Jim Claydon (The views expressed are those of the presenter alone)

  2. CONTENT The need for integration Terrestrial Planning Infrastructure Planning Marine Planning Stakeholder and Community Involvement The Coasts of the Severn Estuary

  3. THE NEED FOR INTEGRATION www.severnside.net Tradition of sectorally & geographically separate approaches Increasing recognition of the inter-relationship between terrestrial & marine environments, infrastructure Importance of marine resources for future economic growth Importance of marine activity to the future of coastal communities. Making them central The elevated real estate values of coastal/waterfront sites, & their importance to urban regeneration The uncertainties of the future of coastal communities The eco-system approach

  4. DAVID TYLDESLEY’S PROPOSAL TO JNCC MARINE NATURE CONSERVATION IRISH SEA PILOT Submission by DTA summarised the geographical extent of responsibilities and proposed matching hierarchy of plan documents to complement these responsibilities. Most importantly recognised the importance of complementarity and linkage between the terrestrial and marine planning systems The analysis recognised the divisions in governance at different levels

  5. MARINE SPATIAL PLANNING IRISH SEA PILOT The MSP Irish Sea Pilot envisaged a development plan scheme (or framework) for marine planning similar to the development plan documents in England A hierarchy of statutory and non-statutory plans incorporating those plans produced for related purposes such as Shoreline Management Plans, ICZM, and River Basin Management Plans A terrestrial equivalent in Regional Spatial Strategies, Core Strategies, Area Action Plans, and Supplementary Plans Should be an obligation to ensure consistency across plan boundaries

  6. Marine and Terrestrial Planning Systems Terrestrial Planning System (Wales) Statutory Wales Spatial Plan Local Development Plans Other Statutory Plans Non-statutory Plans and Supplementary Planning Guidance Non-statutory

  7. A Strategy for Promoting an Integrated Approach to the Management of Coastal Areas in England – Defra (2009) The national framework for coastal integration It is a creditable attempt to translate, in diagrammatic form, the intersection of a variety of programmes, governance arrangements, planning and management documents produced by different agencies But is this either a strategy or a useable framework?

  8. TERRESTRIAL PLANNING LDP/LDFs– lack of progress over 6 years Waterfront sites prominent in regeneration SWRSS & WSP identify importance of coasts for housing growth, off-shore energy, holiday resort tourism & waterside employment sites Major proposals, e.g. Severn Barrage, Hinkley Point, Oldbury, Port of Bristol

  9. INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING (2008 PLANNING ACT) National Policy Statements (NPS) set out policy on nationally significant infrastructure projects (NSIP), both terrestrial and marine NB These policies over-ride LDF/LDP and will be material considerations in all infrastructure proposals, alongside marine plans/WSP/PPW/TANs/PPSs Promoters submit applications to IPC following EIA and Community Consultation IPC recommends decision to SoS Prime consideration is conformity with NPS criteria LA advises on consultation, negotiates s106, submits Local Impact Report, monitors and enforces

  10. MARINE PLANNING The importance of the MPS in setting the parameters for marine plans - the top level plan Marine Planning will be Spatial Planning i.e. joined up across territories/boundaries and sectors It will be hierarchical, different levels of detail depending on need It needs to incorporate the MPA network Importance of the MMO’s responsibilities for plan making, licensing & enforcement = marine planning Need to pay particular attention to the coastal interface (ICZM?) Importance of data collection and the evidence base

  11. STAKEHOLDER & COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT NPS subject to stakeholder & community consultation NSiP promoters have “duty to consult” and produce Statements of Comm. Consultation (SoCC) & Consultation Report Marine Plans - Statements of Public Consultation & opportunities for participation Public consultation on licensing proposals and representations to the appeals process MMO will need to collaborate with LAs & others in the producing marine plans Necessary & desirable to coordinate consultation and avoid confusion and fatigue

  12. THE COASTS OF THE SEVERN ESTUARY Limited number of statutory plans SW RSS in limbo, and other regional agencies and processes face uncertainty Delays possible in national policy and marine plan production Pressure on coasts continues to grow Major proposals demand deliberative and inclusive decision making processes (renewables) Significant opportunities for pioneering planning projects in the Estuary (cross-border) Ability to build on significant experience and knowledge (SEP)
