The intial step in exploring ICZM within the Coastal Change Pathfinder Project involved developing a working partnership between residents, employers, coastal users and local government. The objective was to achieve sustainability in the face of climate change and consequent coastal change. The following approaches were pursued:<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Establishment of an ICZM group comprised of MPP members, local businesses, marine user groups, government bodies including Chichester District Council, the Environment Agency, Natural England.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 An ICZM spatial policy for the Manhood Peninsula<\/p>\n
\u00b7 An ICZM spatial plan for the Manhood Peninsula. This is a broad-brush approach stating desired approaches to ICZM on the peninsula. It comments on a range of issues as diverse as transport; the environment; employment and prosperity, and tourism.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 ICZM Workshop to examine coastal and land based policies in the area to feed back local experience to Defra about successes and failures in these areas.<\/p>\n
Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) Group<\/p>\n
One of the primary aims of the Integrated Coastal Zone Management stream of the Pathfinder Project was establishing a working group comprised of MPP members, local businesses, marine user groups, and government bodies including Chichester District Council, the Environment Agency and Natural England. ICZM is concerned with joining up land based and marine based planning, a concept considered for over ten years by the Manhood Peninsula Partnership. The concept of ICZM was originally\u00a0explored in the \u201cGoing Dutch\u201d events followed\u00a0by the\u00a0Espace project, and was subsequently pursued\u00a0by the MPP, providing the Pathfinder ICZM group with the\u00a0background within which the group could expand their ideas and produce a comprehensive spatial plan for the peninsula.<\/p>\n
ICZM Spatial Policy<\/p>\n
An ICZM spatial policy was included in the Core Strategy of the emerging Local Plan for the Chichester District. Included are themes applicable to the whole of Chichester District, but compiled into a single document focussed on the Manhood Peninsula emphasising a \u2018sense of place\u2019 for the peninsula. The policy\u00a0went out to consultation with the Local Plan Core Strategy.\u00a0The draft policy helped the ICZM group with their goal of producing an ICZM spatial plan.<\/p>\n
ICZM Spatial Plan: Towards ICZM<\/p>\n
Towards ICZM is the spatial plan suggesting management options of the coastal zone from a number of perspectives. It is similar in principle to a Village Design Statement for the peninsula, and comments on how the coastal zone affects\/is affected by life there. Subject themes within the document are based on the Sustainable Community Strategy entitled \u2018Chichester, A Very Special Place\u2019. It provides a summary of local opinion and expectation as depicted in Parish Plans, Village Design Statements, Conservation Area Character Appraisals (CACAs), and a number of other documents on which consultation has already taken place including the Pagham- East Head Coastal Defence Strategy and the North Solent Shoreline Management Plan. A workshop discussed many of these issues further.<\/p>\n
ICZM Workshop: April 2011<\/p>\n
The ICZM workshop took place on 6th April 2011, and attracted nearly 60 participants. They were divided into a number of themed groups such as Transport and Environment, reflecting the concerns and aspirations for the Manhood Peninsula that were apparent in existing documents such as Going Dutch in 2001.
