| Pre-consultation on the draft UK Marine Policy Statement | 07.05.10 | BMAPA very much welcome the opportunity to comment on the draft UK Marine Policy Statement. An efficient and proportionate planning regime which provides a framework to enable delivery of a ‘licence to operate’ for all activities and operations is essential to support the wider sustainable development and management of UK waters. However, both the planning and regulatory processes need to be guided by a robust and clear long term policy that clearly sets out UK Government’s expectations and requirements for all uses of the marine environment. | Mark Russell | 128kb |  help |
