Strategic Coastal Issues?• Reducing offshore
impacts of development• water quality, • physical disturbance, • landscape, • recreational pressures.
• Coastal Access• Flooding/Erosion• Marine Nature
Conservation Impacts- designated areas
• Accommodation of accelerated sea level rise
• Impacts of Development from offshore • e.g. Barrage! • Renewable Energy

SEA ProcessStage A
Setting the context and objectives, establishing the baseline and deciding on the scope
Stage BDeveloping and refining alternatives and assessing effects
Stage CPreparation of the Environmental Report
Stage DConsulting on the Draft plan or programme
and the Environmental Report
Stage EMonitoring the significant effects of implementing
the plan or programme on the environment

Indicators of Existing Status
• ODPM guidance on SEA (ODPM, October 2003), advises that:
sufficient data about the current and likely state of the environment without further intervention should be collected to allow a plan’s effects to be adequately predicted.
