This third iteration of the marine plan products for the north east, north west, south east and south west marine plan areas has been designed to enable stakeholders to comment on of the draft policy templates prepared for Iteration 3 engagement.
We continue to learn from the advice you provide. This means that stakeholders can now comment individually on each policy and paragraph within these products. This does mean there are more questions although you can save your progress and return to your response during the engagement period. It may be helpful to familiarise yourself with the questions ahead of reading the attached documentation. Once you have submitted your response, you will be sent a receipt and a link to a PDF copy of your response.
Throughout these policy documents you may see references to figures or maps eg ‘Figure XXX’. These refer to final maps/figures to be added to the draft plan document to support a policy and to layers on the Marine Information System. If you have further comments or need more information, please review the appropriate layer on the Marine information System or include in your response via the online survey.
Guidance can be found throughout the survey and we would request that when considering your answers, please set out your support and/or concerns including any suggested changes.
