Development around the Coast

Outside Settlement Boundaries and service villages, the character of the District's coast, small coastal villages and hamlets should be protected and enhanced. Development in close proximity to the sea suffers physical damage caused by wave and wind borne sand, grit and shingle and chemical degradation of materials from saltwater and spray. The Council will generally recommend a minimum of 25 metres setback in particularly exposed coastal locations to safeguard dwellings and residents.
