Additional concerns about rising sea levels and coastal erosion are focusing increased attention on the special value of the Isle of Man's coastline and how it should be utilised and managed. 7.10.2 Excluding the urban areas along the coast, the rest of this rich environment is designated as having High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance and some areas are designated as Areas of Special Sci entific Interest. This highlights that many agencies have responsibility for and an interest in both the development and management of the coastline, and it is important for all such agencies to work in partnership to achieve a sustainable approach to the enhancement, conservation and development of the Island's coast. Protection of the Island's coastline from erosion is currently the responsibility of the Department of Transport. The most recent report produced by the Department of Transport relating to the Island's coast is the "Report into Coastal Erosion on the Northern Coasts of the Isle of Man" (October 2000).

discretion as to the application of the parking standards will be exercised if an otherwise acceptable proposal is to be prejudiced for example, development of or near to a Registered Building or development in a Conservation Area
encourage the management of features of the landscape which are of major importance for wild flora and fauna. 7.9 Watercourses and Wetlands 7.9.1 A watercourse or wetland, including ponds and dubs, can be affected by building or engineering operations (either during or after completion of works) or new uses of land which are carried out anywhere within the catchment area. New development in the v icinity of such areas can result in pollution, sedimentation or direct deterioration. Land infill and tipping, mineral exploitation, large scale developments and activities which disturb contaminated material are of particular concern. In all but the most minor proposals, consideration will be given to the protection of watercourses and wetland areas which may be affected by a proposed activity. In addition to requiring planning permission, any work on a watercourse, stream or designated Main River (and no rmally including the banks for a distance of 9m (30ft) either side) requires the permission of the Department of Transport's Land Drainage Engineer, in accordance with the Land Drainage Act 1934.
