NORTH EAST SMP2

An SMP is a living document used by the operating authorities and other organisations (e.g. Environment Agency, English Nature, North York Moors National Park and others) to consider the planning and implementation of sea defences and other maritime works... The Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) exists to promote good and prudent management of the coastline. It includes measures to sustain the future of coastal settlements and the environmental qualities of a coastline nationally recognised as being of great beauty and interest... The SMP sets out preferred policies to safeguard the natural and human environments and to create community confidence in delivery of this important service. The operating authorities take very seriously their stewardship role for the coast.
