BNE45 Undeveloped Coast

Development will be permitted in and alongside the undeveloped coast, as defined on the proposals map, only if:

  1. a coastal location is essential and no suitable alternative site exists along the developed coast; and
  2. the scenic, heritage or scientific value of the undeveloped coast is maintained and, where consistent with this and where practicable, public access to the coast is improved; and
  3. the development is not likely to be at risk from flooding or coastal erosion to the extent that it would require defence works for its safety and protection.
