1. Spatial claim, assessment of ecosystem effects & apply precautionary principle;

2. Location selecting & assessing spatial options;

3. Demonstrate national interest;

4. Mitigation of effects;

5. Compensating effects.

› MPA management plans are drafted after policy designation by our management organisation Rijkswaterstaat.

MSP as part of aNational Water Programme (NWP)

› Every six years The Netherlands make a National Water Plan, an integrated policy document for the entire country, encompassing all water related issues, with a focus on the waters under national jurisdiction;

› Water areas on/in-land are shared responsibilities with provinces, municipalities and water boards;

› The North Sea Maritime Spatial policy Plan (programme) is an annex to the NWP body document, by legal requirements. It serves as a self-binding spatial document for the central government;

› The North Sea MSP document includes the measures we take for the marine environment to reach and maintain Good Environmental Status.


National Water Programme (NWP) 2022-2027

Shipping – sea & inland waterways


Three overarching ambitions for the Dutch Delta 20501. A safe and climate proof delta;2. A competitive, sustainable and circular delta;3. A clean and healthy delta with high value nature

High level goals and priorities driving eMSP

1. Achieve and maintain Good Environmental Status of the sea;

2. Shipping and accessibility of ports, including safety of shipping;

3. Secure sand supply for dry feet (strategy till 2100);

4. Offshore energy production;

5. Defense purposes – military exercise areas;

6. Sustainable harvesting of seafood;

7. Best use of available sea space (combined use of areas – in particular wind farms).

Sand extraction strategy


November 2016: start of a process for 2030

› Strategic Agenda North Sea 2030

› Many MSP issues identified, for instance:

1. Implement offshore wind roadmaps -> 2030

2. Restore marine habitats

3. A future for the fisheries sectors;

4. Co-use of wind farms at sea;

5. Scale up sea weed cultivation;

6. Maintain and strenghten Blue Economy;

7. Strengthen international cooperation

› Many stakeholders and interests involved

Three elements dominating spatial policy and strategy North Sea:

Political priorities and stakeholder discussions & negotiations.

North Sea Agreement (June 2020)

› Intensive process administrative level;

› Monthly meetings for shared agreement on sustainable use and development of the North Sea;

› Joint fact finding on interdependent issues;

› Development of strong inter-ministerial network;

› Open discussions in the ‘safe’ setting of the North Sea Council.

Results:

› Interlinked agreements on: criteria for offshore wind energy areas, nature conservation areas, oil and gas extraction, planning process, financial means for transition.

› Establishment of a permanent North Sea Council;

› Fiserhies sector in last instance not part of agreement, mediation process ongoing.

Handover of the North Sea agreement reached by the Council to minister Cora van Nieuwenhuizen


North Sea Agreement driving the MSP

› The North Sea Agreement was adopted in parliament on 27January 2021.

› It contains detailed conclusions and actions for implementation in the coming years, on:

– Ecology incl MPA’s (moving towards 30% with restorationtargets),

– Offshore (wind) energy,

– Possibilities for the fisheries sectors to adapt,

– including finance, research and governance aspects.

› From february 2021 onwards:

› Development of Implementation Agenda;

› Dutch Martime Spatial Planning Program for 2022-2027 is to be a framework to implement agreed actions.


North Sea Program 2022-2027

› Dutch MSP Plan: self binding policy document for spatial development

› Spatial elements of the North Sea Agreement basis for MSP:

– Search areas offshore wind energy

– Nature conservation areas

– Shipping lanes

– ‘Area passports’ wind energy locations

– Sustainable blue economy

– Land-sea interactions with provinces

› MSP is broader than the North Sea Agreement alone: e.g.MSFD, sand extraction, cables, recreation, cultural heritage.

› Strategic Environmental Assessment is part of the Program.

Further (offshore wind) ambitions

› North Sea Program introduces new policy in many areas

› Ambitions in relation to offshore wind energy require further ecological research, and a partial revision of the draft MSP 2022-2027;

› The draft MSP identifies the search areas for an additional 27 Giga Watt of offshore wind

› Goal for next 6 months:

– cooperate on the preparation of a decision for formal participation.

er Management


Towards a digital Twin for the North Sea

› One of the challenges addressed in many countriesis the data and information system for MSP;

› Netherlands has all the needed data and information and also models and methods to calculate consequences of spatial planning decisions:

› For ecology, cumulative impacts, safety of shipping, cost-benefits of offshore wind on various locations, hydrographic data, and so on...

› Now we’re developing a Digital Twin for the North Sea, allowing visulatisations and simulations for MSP in a cross border setting to underpin policy with transparently generated evidence.


Formal MSP participation process

› In context of National Water Programme*;

› Consultation open from 22 March until 21 September 2021

(6 months);

› Mandatory independent advisory report of the Netherlands

commission for environmental assessment;

› International cross-border consultation via ESPOO;

› Formal adoption of the North Sea MSP Program 2022-2027

is foreseen in March 2022.

Marine Planning in England• Overarching driver – Increasing and competing use of marine space and resources, impacting on

the sustainability of the marine area.

• Marine planning makes sure the right activities happen in the right place and in the right way in the marine area placing sustainable development at the centre of all decisions.

• Compared to previously – focus on a place enables an integrated view• Sustainable development: economic, social and environmental considerations – wide range of evidence

• Across all sectors and government departments

• With other measures/plans

• Forward looking, integration of policies across all sectors – challenges in a changing policy context

• Public process – scrutiny/challenge, review, requires investment in stakeholder engagement

• Legislation – underpinning the requirements in law

6. Policies which support preferred methods and

approaches, including best practice and support

identification of the best way to successfully

achieve a proposal

Proposals must assess their direct and indirect impacts

upon air quality and greenhouse gas emissions.

Where proposals are likely to result in air pollution or

increased greenhouse gas emissions, they must

demonstrate that they will, in order of preference:

a) avoid

b) minimise

c) mitigate air pollution and or greenhouse gas emissions;

in line with current national and local air quality objectives

and legal requirements.










identification of the best way to successfully achieve a

proposal

Proposals must consider cross-border impacts throughout

the lifetime of the proposed activity.

Proposals that impact upon one or more marine plan area or

impact upon terrestrial environments must show evidence of

the relevant public authorities (including other countries)

being consulted and responses considered.

Marine Planning in EnglandProposals in areas where a licence for extraction of

aggregates has been granted or formally applied for

should not be authorised, unless it is demonstrated

that the other development or activity is compatible

with aggregate extraction.2. Definitive spatial policies with a clear preference for certain activities









proposal

Marine Planning in EnglandProposals that enhance the distribution of priority habitats and

priority species will be supported.

Proposals that may have significant adverse impacts on the

distribution of priority habitats and priority species must demonstrate

that they will, in order of preference:

a) avoid

b) minimise

c) mitigate

d) compensate for significant adverse impacts.










proposal

Marine Planning in EnglandProposals within existing or potential strategic areas of sustainable aquaculture

production must demonstrate consideration of and compatibility with sustainable

aquaculture production.

Where compatibility is not possible, proposals must demonstrate that they will, in order

of preference:

a) Avoid

b) minimise

c) mitigate significant adverse impacts on sustainable aquaculture production

d) if it is not possible to mitigate significant adverse impacts, proposals should state

the case for proceeding.










proposal


Appropriate land-based infrastructure which

facilitates marine activity (and vice versa) should be

supported.










proposal

Proposals that result in a net increase to marine

related employment will be supported, particularly

where they meet one or more of the following:

i) create employment in areas identified as the most

deprived, or

ii) support and are aligned with local skills strategies

and the skills available in and adjacent to the

south east inshore marine plan area, or

iii) create a diversity of opportunities, or

iv) implement new technologies.

Proposals supporting a sustainable fishing industry,

including the industry's diversification, should be

supported.


Preference should be given to proposals for cable

installation where the method of installation is burial.

Where burial is not achievable, decisions should take

account of protection measures for the cable that may

be proposed by the applicant. Where burial or

protection measures are not appropriate, proposals

should state the case for proceeding without those

measures.

Point

Issues & Evidence

Specific focus on gathering Issues and associated

evidence

Main themes:

• Coexistence

• Increasingly busy marine areas

• Changing sectors in the marine area

• Marine environmental protection & protected

areas


Dredging and mineral extraction around protected areas and species (eg Maerl beds) in the South West Plan Area has the potential to affect subtidal sediments that are sensitive to physical disturbance. Assessments have been completed for specific applications

promote and support development that generates benefits for those local communities experiencing socio-economic deprivation.

Conflict between promoting tourism and requirement to manage recreation within marine protected areas

Dune systems are being damaged by cockle/mussel fisheries vehicles accessing the sea.

Methods for the beneficial re-use of dredged material should be identified to alleviate the amount of material transported to disposal sites

The north east marine plan areas have a growing manufacturing and engineering industry that facilitates development and decommissioning of offshore wind and oil (National Renewable Energy Centre, Port of Blyth, Teesport and Port of Tyne, Siemens Energy Ser

Tidal stream energy is not appropriate throughout the Thames due to navigational safety and tidal stream potential according to Scientific basis

Many coastal towns suffer from social deprivation due to a decline in traditional industries and trades, which marine plans could address by supporting diversification and improving how messages are spread by working in partnership with coastal forums

Wharf space is limited and needs to be protected from alternative developments to ensure that material can continue to be landed near to where it is required.ad South disposal site poses the risk of contamination of a nearby Marine Conservation Zone

There is the potential to encourage and enhance sustainable tourism and recreation activities in the Flamborough area because of the amount of wildlife in the area (e.g. Minke whale sightings, peregrine falcons nesting on the cliffs).

Construction and decommissioning of nuclear power stations provide social, environmental and economic opportunities and challenges to the area they are situated within.

Diversification of tourism activities to provide sustainable maritime year-round employment potential in areas reliant on this industry

Development of ports and harbours in response to the UK and international needs as identified in port and harbour masterplans

Habitat loss and climate change are interelated and both are negatively affecting many seabird areas in this plan area.

Fishing grounds in the region can be disrupted by the laying of cables. Concentrating the landing points to defined areas could help to reduce disruption.

It is important to consider the indirect consequences of plan interventions eg fishing needs landing facilites which inturn has shore side needs

Disposal of material from dredging activity at Rame head.


First Formal Development and Engagement

Point

Issues & evidence

365 Workshop Participants, from across the country

50 online responses

Overall, over 5000 issues identified with associated

evidence

Significant refinement followed

• Identifying if a policy response was possible

through the English marine system

• Identifying if policies from existing south and east

marine plans could address issues

Further analysis was undertaken following Iteration 1 to

draft policy options which may be used to respond to the

issues.


Second Formal Development and Engagement

Point

Options to address issues

Opportunity to receive stakeholder feedback on proposed

policy options to address identified issues


Possible responses

A: Do nothing

B: Existing policies

X-SCP-1 Proposals that may have a significant adverse impact upon the seascape of an area should only be supported if they demonstrate that they will, in order of

preference: a) avoid, b) minimise, c) mitigate significant adverse impacts upon the seascape of an area, d) if it is not possible to mitigate significant adverse impacts,

proposals should state the case for proceeding.

C: Proposals that may compromise or harm the significance of the seascape and/or landscape of an area should only be supported if they demonstrate that they will, in

order of preference: a) avoid b) minimise c) mitigate significant adverse impacts d) if it is not possible to mitigate, state the case for proceeding.

D: Signpost to existing management plans and guidance for protected landscapes in the marine plan area (Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,

North Yorkshire Moors National Park, and North Northumberland, Durham, North Yorkshire and Cleveland and Flamborough Head heritage coasts).

E: None of the above

617NE Certain seascapes have intrinsic value and should be protected.

597NE A reduction in the quality of seascapes is being caused by the cumulative visual impact of multiple existing and new activities and

developments within the plan area. This has implications for tourism, recreation, wellbeing and cultural values within and outside of the plan area.

503NE The concepts of seascape are not fully understood and there is uncertainty about how to consider impacts to seascape in a subnational policy

context.


Second Formal Development and Engagement

Point

Options to address issues

357 workshop participants, from across the country

140 online responses

Opportunity to receive stakeholder feedback on proposed

policy options to address identified issues.

Feedback on options to address issues significantly

refined.

Combined with information from other statutory

assessment processes and evidence, including SA (SEA)

and HRA.


Third Formal Development and Engagement

Point

Draft Policies

495 workshop participants

143 online responses

Opportunity for stakeholders to feedback on final draft

policies and associated supporting text, ahead of formal

draft plan consultation

Following engagement, final refinement and plan drafting


Statutory Public Consultation on the Draft Marine Plans

Required under the Marine and Coastal Access Act

Due to the pandemic online workshops were held, “webinars” – a

focus on understanding the marine plans and the consultation as

opposed to gathering information

Overall, a good response rate

• 113 webinar participants

• 209 online responses consisting of several thousand individual

comments

Generally strong agreement with the plan subject to minor changes.

SRO

Government and Governance• Secretary of State (SoS) for Environment, Food and

Rural Affairs is the planning authority

• SoS has delegated a number of functions to the MMO including preparation of marine plans

• Marine plans give effect to MPS and therefore wide range of policy matters, eg Transport, Planning, Energy, Business, as well as Environment

• Therefore engage with range of departments, including:

• Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs• Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy • Department for Transport • Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government • Ministry of Defence• The Crown Estate

Engagement throughout the processOverall Experience

Successful engagement steers planning, a golden thread

throughout the work

Multiple methods of engagement used to ensure full

coverage

Wide variety of sectors and stakeholders inputting

ensures consideration of all 3 pillars of sustainability and

enables coexistence

Ensures that stakeholders are aware of marine plans and

planning processes, resolving issues early and minimises

issues being raised late in the process

Continued increase in engagement and understanding of

marine planning ensures effective implementation and use

of marine plans


Implementing Marine PlansA complex regulatory system• Many varied authorities in the English marine area

• Overlap with terrestrial planning between marine and terrestrial

authorities

• Implementation training delivered by the MMO e.g. webinars,

case studies, in person training

A broad range of decisions may be made using marine

plans:• Marine Management Organisation (MMO) - Marine Licensing

decisions

• Environment Agency: permitting of flood and coastal defence

works and water discharge

• Local Planning Authorities: determining planning permissions

• Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities: making fisheries

byelaws

Applicants/developers and other users may use plans to:• Understand the context of their development, by reviewing the

marine plan policies at the pre-application stage

• Identify areas of constraint and risk with other development

• Decrease the risk of challenge late in the process by early

engagement with identified areas of constraint

• Find data and information relevant to their area of use
