Chapter 2 includes several references to the National Planning Policy Framework. It would be beneficial to also include reference to the Marine Policy Statement (MPS) and East Marine Plans. The East Inshore and East Offshore Marine Plans provide guidance for sustainable development in English waters, and cover the coast and seas from Flamborough Head to Felixstowe. The Marine Policy Statement will also guide the development of Marine Plans across the UK.

Chapter 6 - Within this chapter the waterfront is mentioned but not in relation to tourist facilities. The development and use of the waterfront as a marina is in-line with MPS. Within the MPS section 3.11 the importance of the sea in tourism and recreation is highlighted, and as a result can help link to marine planning.
