Character Assessment for the South West Inshore and Offshore Marine Plan

The MMO requires a character description for the South West Inshore and Offshore Marine Plan areas to support marine planning. This work will not include stakeholder validation or field work at this stage and visual amenity analysis has already been completed for these areas. The Marine Policy Statement outlines that for all coastal areas visual, cultural, historical and archaeological impacts should be considered at a strategic level and any wider social and economic impacts of developments on seascape should also be considered. Evidence is required to characterise both the Inshore and Offshore areas.
