Essex Coast Recreational Disturbance Avoidance and Mitigation Strategy Supplementary Planning Document
Maldon District Council adopted the Essex Coast Recreational Disturbance Avoidance Mitigation Strategy (RAMS) Supplementary Planning Document on 6 August 2020.
The RAMS SPD focuses on the mitigation that is necessary to protect the wildlife of the Essex coast from the increased visitor pressure associated with new residential development in-combination with other plans and projects, and how this mitigation will be funded. The RAMS SPD sets out the guidance to be followed in the determination of planning applications and formalises the arrangements for securing the developer contributions for new qualifying residential development.
The draft RAMS SPD was published for public consultation between 10 January and 21 February 2020 in accordance with Regulation 13 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 (as amended).
A number of modifications have been made to the RAMS SPD in response to the consultation and to ensure that the adopted SPD is up to date.
