BNE46 Developed Coast

Development will be permitted in and alongside the developed coast, as defined on the proposals map, when:

  1. the appearance and environment of the coast is improved; and
  2. coastal erosion will not threaten any new building proposed as part of the development; and
  3. public access to the coast is improved, where practicable and whenever appropriate; and
  4. the need for the coastal location is justified when the development is outside existing settlement boundaries and Economic Development Areas.
