Overview

This page summarises the scope we gave this working group when it began meeting in June 2018. You will find the summary documents from this working group at the bottom of this page.

How can we all put water at the heart of everyone’s decision making?

This group looked at how we can ensure everyone considers water early in their planning and decision making so it’s built in rather than risk being an after-thought.

Initial questions considered

  • Can we develop place-based plans that take account of water?
  • Who do we need to engage?
  • What’s the benefit to them and how do we engage them?
  • When are the opportunities to achieve this?
  • Can we build in adaptive triggers to these plans so they can respond to climate change so building in resilience?
  • How can Shoreline Management Plans be built into plans for local areas to help communities?
