Policy 7.10 of the Castletown Local Plan
Source: Strategic Plan 2016
7.10.1 Additional concerns about rising sea levels and coastal erosion are focusing increased attention on the special value of the Isle of Man's coastline and how it should be utilised and managed.
7.10.2 Excluding the urban areas along the coast, the rest of this rich environment is designated as having High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance and some areas are designated as Areas of Special Scientific Interest. This highlights that many agencies have responsibility for and an interest in both the development and management of the coastline, and it is important for all such agencies to work in partnership to achieve a sustainable approach to the enhancement, conservation and development of the Island's coast. Protection of the Island's coastline from erosion is currently the responsibility of the Department of Transport. The most recent report produced by the Department of Transport relating to the Island's coast is the "Report into Coastal Erosion on the Northern Coasts of the Isle of Man" (October 2000).
