There are no designated paths. Dogs are allowed but must be on a lead and under close control when grazing is taking place (indicated by temporary signs). The Toby's Hill area is a remnant of a 700 year old dune system which was separated from the present-day coastline by 19th century land reclamation. The reserve is named after the main hill, possibly the highest dune summit on the Lincolnshire coast; it is believed to have been artificially raised to improve its use as a war-time watchpoint/beacon site. The reserve is largely dune grassland with scrub and is of considerable botanical interest. The common grassland butterflies are all found on the reserve in very good numbers and there is a large breeding population of ‘garden’ birds. The site had been protected from recreation or development damage but due to the lack of appropriate management, the nature conservation interest had been declining with the grassland largely dominated by coarse Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, Banovallum House, Manor House Street, Horncastle, Lincolnshire LN9 5HF Tel: 01507 526667 | Email: [email protected] | www.lincstrust.org.uk Registered charity no. 218895 .

NCA Profile 42 Lincolnshire Coast and Marshes
National Character 42. Lincolnshire Coast and Marshes Area profile: Supporting documents www.gov.uk/natural-england 1 National Character 42. Lincolnshire Coast and Marshes Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

Summary The Lincolnshire Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) established a policy of ‘hold the existing defence line’ for the Lincshore coastline. As part of the Lincshore Coastal Defences Strategy (covering Donna Nook to Skegness) we are proposing to implement the SMP. To deliver the strategy, beach nourishment material will continue to be placed annually along the coastline between Mablethorpe and Ingoldmells. A performance review of the beach nourishment project has been undertaken, in preference to a full strategy review, which supports the Lincshore project, enabling a 0.5% annual probability of flooding (1 in 200 year return period) standard of protection along the frontage over a period of 100 years.

East Lindsey Local Plan Alteration 1999 Chapter 1 - 1
Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION TO THE EAST LINDSEY LOCAL PLAN ALTERATION 1999 The Local Plan has the following main aims:- x to translate the broad policies of the Structure Plan into specific planning policies and proposals relevant to the East Lindsey District. It will show these on a Proposals Map with inset maps as necessary x to make policies against which all planning applications will be judged; x to direct and control the development and use of land; (to control development so that it is in the best interests of the public and the environment and also to highlight and promote the type of development which would benefit the District from a social, economic or environmental point of view. In particular, the Plan aims to emphasise the economic growth potential of the District); and x to bring local planning issues to the public's attention. East Lindsey Local Plan Alteration 1999 Chapter 1 - 1 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Page The Aims of the Plan 3 How The Policies Have Been Formed 4 The Format of the Plan 5 The Monitoring, Review and Implementation of the Plan 5 East Lindsey Local Plan Alteration 1999 Chapter 1 - 2 INTRODUCTION TO THE EAST LINDSEY LOCAL PLAN 1.1. The East Lindsey Local Plan is the first statutory Local Plan to cover the whole of the District. It has updated, and takes over from all previous formal and informal Local Plans, Village Plans and Village Development Guidelines. It complements the Lincolnshire County Structure Plan but differs from it in quite a significant way. The Structure Plan deals with broad strategic issues and its generally-worded policies do not relate to particular sites.

Appendix B Greater Lincolnshire Coastal Vision
Appendix B Greater Lincolnshire Coastal Vision Draft (version 3.1: January 2016) The Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership: a Vision for Greater Lincolnshire's Coast by 2030 Greater Lincolnshire's key strengths in agri-food and tourism are concentrated in its coastal areas. So are many of greatest opportunities for realizing and developing those strengths as well as important challenges such as flood risk management, future water supply, environmental protection, economic growth, housing and infrastructure. This Coastal Vision sets out how Greater Lincolnshire can build on its existing strengths, its plans and ambitions for the coast, to join with its emerging aspirations for the economy to become a force for growth. A number of important strategies and plans set out significant aspirations for the future of Coastal Greater Lincolnshire, often based on extensive public and stakeholder consultations. The Coastal vision seeks to draw these together into a coherent whole, while focusing on the GLLEP's ambitions for the coast's contribution to Greater Lincolnshire's economic growth. Strategic context Greater Lincolnshire overall provides £12bn GVA to the UK economy (in 2013) £1bn visitor economy with over 17m visitors (in 2012) The fourth most popular tourism destination in the UK £1.5bn manufacturing economy 25% of the UK's grade 1 agricultural land 25% of all UK-grown vegetables 20% of the UK's RAF bases The second-fastest growing of all the shire counties with net inward migration twice the national average. Greater Lincolnshire is ambitious to Increase economic output by £2.5bn over the next ten years Establish the UK's largest Enterprise Zone on the Humber Estuary Create or safeguard 9,000 jobs Create 1m square metres of commercial floor space 1 Much of this happens – or will happen – at the coast.

The East Midlands Is a Region of Contrasts
The East Midlands is a region of contrasts: from the hills of the Peak District to the flat and fertile fens of Lincolnshire, farming is the backbone of the region’s countryside and its economy. More than 80% of the East Midlands is farmed, but food processing is a major employer, too, as well as tourism, particularly in and around the Peak District National Park and the Lincolnshire coast, where it plays a key role in the rural economy. In Derbyshire, over 39 million visitors flock to the county each year. Total farming output from the East Midlands was valued in 2010 at £2.24bn, reflecting the productivity and diversity of the crops we grow. As a predominantly arable region, wheat and oilseed rape are our main crops, but field vegetable and potato growing dominate parts of Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. Dairying, beef, sheep, pig and poultry farms are important to the region, too: more than a third of our holdings are involved in livestock production. Melton Mowbray is the rural food capital of England and is famed for pork pies and Stilton cheese. And the hills of Derbyshire are home to thousands of cattle and sheep, shaping and maintaining the beautiful landscape and protecting the environment for future generations. And Lincolnshire’s horticultural area is more than 20% of England’s total vegetable and potato production; the fertile silts of the south of the county provide produce for one of the major production, processing and packing centres of Europe. In Nottinghamshire in particular, renewable energy is a growing sector; willow and Miscanthus for power generation, wind turbines and solar farms are all reducing the country’s reliance on fossil fuels.
