3 Integrated Coastal Zone Management ICZM is a process, in it s simplest form its people working together. ICZM provides the framework for a range of social, economic and environmental deliverables. Implementing ICZM is a long term process requiring integration horizontally and vertically at all levels of governance. UK approach to implementation - comprehensive and long term. Marine planning contributing to the process through a mixture of legislative measures and processes. ICZM contribution through marine planning will be progressive and considered. 3
4 Some history EU Demonstration Programme on ICZM 2002 EC Recommendation on implementing ICZM 2004 UK ICZM Stocktake A consultation seeking views on how we can best promote and implement an integrated approach to the management of the coastal zone (ICZM) in England 2006 Report to Commission on experiences implementing Recommendation 2009 A Strategy for promoting an integrated approach to the management of coastal areas in England. Set out a vision for the process, and a series of objectives and actions to achieve the vision. Committed to a Strategy Review in A further Report to Commission on ICZM implementation since Commission launched public on-line consultation and studies to inform development of a legislative proposal for ICZM A proposal for a framework directive for MSP and ICZM published Dec - General Affairs Committee (GAC) agree a general approach of an MSP only Directive 4
5 MSP Directive Establishes a framework for maritime spatial planning aiming at promoting the sustainable growth of maritime economies, the sustainable development of marine areas and the sustainable use of marine resources. The key requirements are: that Member States implement MSPs by April 2021 cooperate with neighbouring Member States and third countries, and promote information and data sharing. take account of land sea interactions aim to promote coherence between maritime spatial planning and the resulting plan or plans and other processes such as integrated coastal management or equivalent formal or informal practices Directive came into force on 17 Sept Transposed within 2 years. 5
6 Marine Policy Statement (MPS) MPS provides the policy framework for the preparation of all UK marine plans and for all decisions capable of affecting the marine area. A public authority must - take any authorisation or enforcement decision in accordance with it or state reasons why not have regard to it in taking any decision which relates to the exercise of any function capable of affecting the marine area seeks to embed consideration of the key principles of ICZM within all planning and decision making functions in coastal and marine areas. also contains consideration of specific issues which coastal areas face that are generally the focus of Integrated Coastal Zone Management: consideration of economic regeneration of coastal areas; the halting and if possible reversal of ecology and biodiversity loss; enhancing the protection for the historical environment; strengthening consideration of climate change adaptation, coastal change and flooding; and, the consideration of the effect of development on coastal landscapes and seascapes. 6
7 How marine planning contributes to integrated coastal management in practice Scale and Plan area boundaries - Key consideration the need to facilitate integration with planning and management on land, enabling meaningful local engagement and where possible aligning with existing bio-geographical boundaries to enable holistic ecosystem scale considerations. Participation East MMO organised five series of stakeholder workshops attended by over 300 people. 350 one-to-one meetings with a range of interests including marine sectors (such as ports/shipping, fishing, recreation, aggregates, renewable energy), Local Authorities (both elected members and officers), MPs, local and national fora, and regulators. Local liaison officers met with local stakeholders, relevant meetings and events. 12 public drop-in sessions across the East for over 600 people. Informal consultations on plan stages Discussion with countries bordering the plan areas (France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany). Formal consultation on the scoping report for a Sustainability Appraisal guided by an SA Advisory Group made up of statutory bodies, industry representatives and environmental non-governmental organisations. Cross Government participation and collaboration 7
8 Compatibility with land planning East - MMO analysed policies within 25 sets of Local Development Plans, prepared by local authorities as part of the land planning system. The analysis focused on the key activities within the Marine Policy Statement so as to provide a keystone for compatibility. 8
9 have regard to other plans the East MMO considered: 2 River Basin Management Plans 6 Shoreline Management Plans 1 National Park plan; 2 Areas of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) plans; 3 Estuary Management Plans The Wash Estuary Management Plan The Stour and Orwell Estuaries Management Scheme The Humber Estuary Management Scheme MMO also considered a plethora of individual and unique sectoral plans and strategies including beach management plans; tourism, transport and economic strategies. 9
10 National Planning Policy Framework Para In coastal areas, local planning authorities should take account of the UK Marine Policy Statement and marine plans and apply Integrated Coastal Zone Management across local authority and land/sea boundaries, ensuring integration of the terrestrial and marine planning regimes Para156. Local planning authorities should set out the strategic priorities for the area in the Local Plan to deliver.. the provision of infrastructure for transport, telecommunications, waste management, water supply, wastewater, flood risk and coastal change management, and the provision of minerals and energy (including heat); climate change mitigation and adaptation, conservation and enhancement of the natural and historic environment, including landscape. Crucially, Local Plans should: be based on co-operation with neighbouring authorities, public, voluntary and private sector organisations; Para 179. Local planning authorities should work collaboratively with other bodies to ensure that strategic priorities across local boundaries are properly coordinated and clearly reflected in individual Local Plans. (In marine areas, local planning authorities should collaborate with the Marine Management Organisation to ensure that policies across the land/sea boundary are integrated.) 10
11 Duty to co-operate Created by s.110 of the Localism Act Duty on local planning authorities (LPAs), county councils and public bodies to engage constructively, actively and on an ongoing basis to maximise the effectiveness of Local and Marine Plan preparation in the context of strategic cross boundary matters. LPAs - should make every effort to secure the necessary cooperation on strategic cross boundary matters before they submit their Local Plans for examination. Local Plan examination will test whether a local planning authority has complied with the duty to cooperate must demonstrate how they have complied with the duty at the independent examination of their Local Plans. If a local planning authority cannot demonstrate that it has complied with the duty then the Local Plan will not be able to proceed further in examination. Public bodies include: Environment Agency; English Heritage; Natural England; Office of Rail Regulation; highway Authorities; the Marine Management Organisation 11
12 Planning Advisory Service Soundness Checklist Local plan checklist helps LPA work through the soundness and legal requirements The test of soundness assesses whether the Local Plan is consistent with national policy Planning Advisory Service Self-Assessment Checklist to assist LPAs with the soundness test. Planning Inspectorate (PINS) encourages councils to conduct a selfassessment using this checklist Recently updated to include marine planning. Builds those aspects of marine planning relevant to all local authorities into the main soundness checklist A more detailed section sets out in full the interactions between terrestrial planning and marine planning, including the requirements of the marine policy statement, and is likely to be of most use to those local planning authorities whose area physically overlaps with the marine area, all of which are listed for clarity 12
13 Planning Advisory Service Soundness Checklist Soundness Test Key Requirements Possible Evidence Take account of marine planning (p 105) Ensure early and close co-operation on relevant economic, social and environmental policies with the Marine Management Organisation Review the aims and objectives of the Marine Policy Statement, including local potential for marine-related economic development Integrate as appropriate marine policy objectives into emerging policy Support of integrated coastal management (ICM) in coastal areas in line with the requirements of the MPS 13
14 Planning Advisory Service Soundness Checklist Key requirements under the Duty to Co-Operate Policy Expectations Consistency between marine and terrestrial policy documents and guidance Liaison between respective authorities responsible for terrestrial and marine planning, including in plan development, implementation and review stages Sharing the evidence base and data where relevant and appropriate so as to achieve consistency in the data used in plan making and decisions Possible Evidence Demonstration of consistency of aim between relevant local plan policies and marine policy documents (i.e. the MPS and any relevant adopted marine plans) Proof of collaborative working with the MMO and that the MPS has been taken into account. Early and effective policy development engagement undertaken, including discussions with the MMO Evidence of iteration of policies and plans as a result of engagement with the MMO Evidence of engagement with the MMO in relation to monitoring, implementation and throughout the policy cycle Support of integrated coastal management (ICM) in coastal areas in line with the requirements of the MPS Evidence that the LPA has shared or provided relevant data to the MMO that can help inform Marine Plans or MPS review Demonstration that local plan policy has been underpinned by data provided by the MMO or the MPS Explicit cross-referencing in local plan to MPS, the MMO, their roles, and relevant marine plans 14
15 Coastal Concordat An agreement between Defra, DCLG, DfT, the MMO, Environment Agency, Natural England and the LGA Coastal SiG Sets out key principles for coordinating the consenting process for coastal development to enable sustainable growth in the coastal zone Benefits applicants, regulators and advisors by reducing regulatory duplication, better sign-posting, streamlining assessments and increasing transparency and consistency of advice. The concordat approach can be applied to any applications for individual projects, if they: the intertidal area in estuaries and on the coast and require multiple consents including both a marine licence and a planning permission from the local planning authority 15
16 Coastal Concordat Key Principles single point of entry into the regulatory system Regulators should agree a single lead authority for coordinating the requirements of EIA Directive or Habs Regs Assessments Where opportunities for dispensing or deferring regulatory responsibilities are legally possible and appropriate, they should be taken Where possible, at the pre-application stage, competent authorities and statutory advisors should agree the likely environmental and habitats assessment evidence requirements of all authorities at all stages of the consenting process. regulators and statutory advisors should each provide coordinated advice to applicants 16

18 European Maritime Fisheries Fund (EMFF) The fund for the EU's maritime and fisheries policies for Launching early UK allocation 243m ( 200m). The MMO will deliver the England programme and act as the UK Managing Authority (i.e. making sure all the UK administrations deliver the funds as agreed in the Operational Programme, and that the UK programme is administered and monitored effectively as required by the regulation). Fund is used to co-finance projects, along with national funding. 18
19 Scope and objectives Designed to help with implementation of the Common Fisheries Policy and support the fisheries sector more generally MS may also use their allocation to support Integrated Maritime Policy, which cover maritime spatial planning and integrated coastal zone management processes To help fishermen in the transition to sustainable fishing To supports coastal communities in diversifying their economies For projects that create new jobs and improve quality of life along European coasts 19
20 ICZM Next steps Continue to raise awareness on MPS Utilise opportunities for further embedding ICZM into planning and decision making Work with EC as it considers it s next steps Refresh Strategy 20
