Spatial plan offers hope of protection
Claydon, Jim
Spatial plan offers hope of protection - 2006 - Planning (for the Natural and Built Environment) (1655) 10 February 2006, 14-15(2) .
Considers how marine spatial planning could reduce incidences of offshore disputes and also benefit coastal strategies. Although marine environments are under constant threat from a wide spectrum of economic and other demands, there is no overall planning of marine projects and limited consideration of the long-term. Looks at the Irish Sea pilot marine spatial plan commissioned by DEFRA in December 2004 and the resultant recommendations made for marine spatial planning. Refers to the 2006 Marine Bill which is a government manifesto commitment in this area. Concludes that the opportunity to unify the marine and terrestrial planning systems should not be missed.
