The National Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Strategy for England Glossary, published by the Environment Agency, defines shoreline management plans as: ‘Plans, developed by coastal groups, which look forward 100 years and set out agreed management policies for dealing with coastal flooding and erosion along each stretch of the English coast. They are material considerations in local development planning’.
