  1. Working Together for Coastal Planning around the Severn Estuary Dr Tim Stojanovic, Cardiff University/COREPOINT project June 2007

  2. Strategic Coastal Issues? • Reducing offshore impacts of development • water quality, • physical disturbance, • landscape, • recreational pressures. • Coastal Access • Flooding/Erosion • Marine Nature Conservation Impacts- designated areas • Accommodation of accelerated sea level rise • Impacts of Development from offshore • e.g. Barrage! • Renewable Energy

  3. Development Plans around the Severn Estuary

  4. Issues in Your Coastal Zone

  5. Jigsaw Exercise • PPG 20/TAN 14, define policies for: -Undeveloped coast -Partially developed coast -Developed coast -Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk

  6. Developed Coast & Developments

  7. SEA of Development Plans in the Severn Estuary

  8. Why SEA? • EC Directive 2001/42/EC (SEA Directive) • UK regulations Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes 2004 (SEA Regulations) • Welsh • English • Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 • Sec 62 (6) Sustainability Appraisal for LDPs • Sec 39 (2) Sustainability Appraisal for RSS & Local Development Documents: • Development Plan Documents (DPDs) • Supplementary Planning Document (SPDs), • UDPs (preparation >21 July 2004, and which are not adopted by 21 July 2006)

  9. SEA Process Stage A Setting the context and objectives, establishing the baseline and deciding on the scope Stage B Developing and refining alternatives and assessing effects Stage C Preparation of the Environmental Report Stage D Consulting on the Draft plan or programme and the Environmental Report Stage E Monitoring the significant effects of implementing the plan or programme on the environment

  10. LDPs Wales

  11. Development Plan Documents (DPDs) England

  12. Small Group Interactive exercise on Information Sources

  13. A. What Purposeful Human Activity Supported? SEA of Development Plans/Framework • HOW • WHO • WHAT “A system to assess the environmental implications of the LDP/LDF strategy/programmes/allocations by Local planning authority in partnership with stakeholders, in order to ensure sustainable policies (for coasts down to MLW)”

  14. Environmental Outcomes Incompatible policies Set of Policies B. What Transformation occurs? Improved Environmental Outcomes Compatible policies Set of Policies with alternatives considered and best chosen

  15. C. Important Stakeholders Involved • Customers • Public, Developers, Anyone with interest in Estuary • Actors • Planning Officers, SEA officers, Statutory Consultees, Developers, Consultants • Owners • Planning Committee Councillors, Planners

  16. D. Break down the activity into 7+/-2 key stages • Screen for Issues • Scope • Set Objectives • Report • Monitor • Collect baseline data • Are statutory sites affected? • Consult other organisations

  17. D. Break down the activity into 7+/-2 key stages

  18. D. Break down the activity into 7+/-2 key stages

  19. Testing Plan and Programme Objectives against SEA objectives

  20. Indicators of Existing Status • ODPM guidance on SEA (ODPM, October 2003), advises that: sufficient data about the current and likely state of the environment without further intervention should be collected to allow a plan’s effects to be adequately predicted.
