Guidance: A coastal concordat for England

Imported from official source

November 11, 2013 00:00

The coastal concordat sets out the separate processes for consenting coastal developments in England. This revised version replaces the original published on 11 November 2013. It supports decision-making between Local Authorities and those regulators who work in the marine area.

The government’s 25 Year Environment Plan aims for all Local Authorities with a coastal interest to adopt the concordat by 2021. Working under the concordat is currently a voluntary arrangement.

The concordat approach can be applied to any applications for individual projects, if they:

span the intertidal area in estuaries and on the coast

require multiple consents including both a marine licence and a planning permission from the local planning authority

already have co-ordination mechanisms in place such as National Significant Infrastructure projects
