The Historic Environment In Land And Marine Planning
HELM Course date – 6th October 2011 (Great Northern Hotel, Peterborough)
The Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 provided for a new marine planning system and the first
two areas subject to planning will be East Inshore (the English area of the UK Territorial Sea
between Felixstowe, Suffolk to Flamborough Head, Yorkshire) and East Offshore (the adjacent UK
marine area). The Marine Management Organisation is the new marine planning and licensing
authority and they are now actively developing the evidence base for these first plans. The
purpose of this English Heritage sponsored course is to develop understanding of how the historic
environment will feature within terrestrial and marine planning through the coastal zone and out
to sea. It is therefore essential that all parties in the historic environment sector are clearly
informed so that the necessary support and information is available to develop marine plans.
