................................................................... 74 iv 1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose of this report This scoping report has been prepared on behalf of Cumbria County Council (CCC) to support the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the Cumbria Coastal Strategy (CCS) (also referred to as ‘the Strategy’ in this document). The Strategy is intended to build on the existing Shoreline Management Plan (SMP2), forming a second tier of the management planning hierarchy, for the coast of Cumbria. The SMP2 covers the whole coast from north Wales to the Scottish border and defines a number of interacting Sub-Cells. The Strategy will focus on part of Sub-Cell 11c, all of Sub-Cell 11d and 11e (figure 1) and provide more detailed guidance covering the approach to implementation of SMP2 policies within this smaller area. The purpose of this document is to set out the findings of the scoping stage of the SEA and to give sufficient information to allow consultation authorities to provide feedback and comments on the scope and level of detail within the scope of the SEA. This appraisal has been carried out in accordance
