Marine Planning

This half-day seminar, being held in association with the Marine Management Organisation and the Borough Council of Kings Lynn & West Norfolk, will update planners in understanding key aspects of the emergent Marine Spatial Planning System and how these relate to legislation currently in place.

Speakers will compare the continuing development of Marine Spatial Planning - the Marine Development Plans and related Marine Conservation Area designations - with the terrestrial planning system and highlight recent experience and relevant case studies.

Marine Planning not only affects coastal areas but applies to inland tidal rivers waterways throughout England and Wales.

Speakers will represent the Marine Management Organisation and the Coastal Communities Alliance. We will also hear from a marine planning consultant and a local authority. Jed Griffiths of Griffiths Environmental Planning will help to chair the event.
