Coastal Planning and Adaptation Conference

Friday March 19th, at the Centre for Life, Newcastle upon Tyne

Defra, CLG, GO-North East, GO-Yorkshire and The Humber and IMCORE would like to invite you to an event covering the latest developments on coastal change and related planning policies. It will also provide you with an introduction to the work of the coastal change pathfinders from the north so that you can share in the practice and lessons that emerge from their work. The full programme and timings are available here

Attending this event will give you the opportunity to:

Find out the latest from Defra on coastal change policy and the new system for marine planning;
Hear from CLG, who will introduce the new Development and Coastal Change Planning Policy, including an explanation of why we need it, what it does, how it works and how it relates to the policy on development and flood risk in PPS25;
Hear from coastal change pathfinder authorities in Yorkshire and the North West on the innovative work they are doing in exploring new approaches to planning for, and managing, adaptation to coastal change in partnership with their communities;
Find out about IMCORE an EU Interreg funded project exploring coastal community adaptation.

This event will be of particular interest to “practitioners” and is aimed at Local Authority planners, technical officers involved in coastal protection and those working with coastal communities and regeneration.
If you are able to attend the event please complete and return the attached form. Places on the event are limited, so an early response is requested.
