A heritage coast is established to conserve the best stretches of undeveloped coast in England. 

Impact on planning decisions

Heritage coasts are protected in the planning system. Major development within a heritage coast is unlikely to be appropriate, unless it is compatible with its special character. 

Responsible organisations and guidance

A heritage coast is defined by agreement between the relevant maritime local authorities and Natural England.
