An Integrated Coastal Zone Management plan for the Manhood Peninsula\u00a0area called 'Towards ICZM on the Manhood\u00a0Peninsula'\u00a0was adopted as capable of becoming\u00a0a material consideration in planning decisions by Chichester District Council at a Full Council meeting\u00a0on 20th September 2011. 'Towards ICZM' was recognised as an MPP document that reflects the views and aspirations of the community.<\/p>\n

Towards ICZM on the Manhood Peninsula<\/a>\u00a0(PDF 3.3 Mb)<\/p>\n

The Manhood Peninsula Partnership has long been concerned with spatial planning on the peninsula. We recognise the positive attributes of the Peninsula that make it such an attractive place to live, holiday, start up businesses and grow food. In spite of these considerable assets the Manhood is also a fragile environment in need of an Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) plan to ensure it has a sustainable future.<\/p>\n

To this end we have used part of the Defra funding from the Coastal Change project to produce 'Towards ICZM on the Manhood Peninsula'. The aim is to provide a summary of all that we have learned from research and consultation over the last ten years.<\/p>\n

Information has been compiled from a variety of sources including county, district, parish and third sector documents. These include Village Design Statements, Conservation Area Character Appraisals, the reports from both Going Dutch workshops, and plans affecting the shoreline in the form of Shoreline Management Plans and Coastal Defence Strategies.<\/p>\n

Many villages and settlement areas are represented in the document and although the intention is not to supersede the Village Design Statements and similar, we need to ensure that the information supplied is complementary and provides a view across the entire peninsula.<\/p>\n

This is a timely opportunity to influence planning policy proposals such as the forthcoming Local Development Framework, and \u2018Coastal Change Management Areas\u2019 (CCMAs), where development is controlled proportionate to the risk from coastal erosion, landslip, and other physical change. It is hoped Towards ICZM will help achieve this.<\/p>\n

About Towards ICZM on the Manhood Peninsula:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 The ICZM stream of the Coastal Change Pathfinder Project\u00a0discussed and edited\u00a0the content of 'Towards ICZM'. The group held discussions about the\u00a0document every six weeks\u00a0from the start of the project and represent the following parties with local interests:<\/p>\n

West Wittering Parish Council; Selsey Town Council; local tourist operators; local businesses; MPP project leaders; Chichester District Council; West Sussex County Council; Environment Agency; Natural England.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Towards ICZM is compiled from documents on which extensive consultation has been conducted previously.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 It does not supercede Village Design Statements and other similar documents.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 It is not intended to promote the idea that \u2018one size fits all\u2019 but tries to identify common problems, while acknowledging that there are different issues in different parts of the peninsula.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 It does not refer to saved policies from the Local Plan as seen in most Village Design Statements, because it is likely to feed into the forthcoming Local Plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
