Shoreline Management Plans help coastal engineers plan for the foreseeable future. They draw on and take account of the current local and structure plans produced by District and Borough Councils and the County Councils, and provide essential feedback at the review stages of such plans.
Comprehensive reports for assessing the protection of shoreline including habitat, conservation erosion and flood defence. Shoreline Management Plans are being produced around the whole coastline of England and Wales to enable coastal engineers to identify long term, sustainable policies for coastal defence. 'Coastal defence' means protecting the coastline from erosion by the sea and defending low lying ground from flooding by the sea.
The objectives of Shoreline Management Plans are to:
Improve our understanding of coastal processes.
Prepare a setting for the long term planning of coastal defences and associated land use.
Work in partnership with all interested organisations and the public.
