Consultation description

We propose to introduce a Marine Planning Notice (MPN) to identify SRAs for tidal stream energy. Mapping SRAs will help us to:

  • identify areas of natural resource with potential to support future use
  • ensure public authorities consider these resources when determining marine licence applications
  • ensure ability to access these areas in future is not compromised by short term planning and consenting decisions
  • provide evidence to support future marine planning work
