Heritage Coast
What this layer shows
Heritage Coast: stretches of undeveloped coast defined by agreement between Natural England and the local authorities, not by statute. No consent regime of its own; it carries weight through the development plan.

ARCGIS · services.arcgis.com
Merestone asks this service live for the area on screen. Nothing is copied or stored beyond a short cache.
In these presets
Coastal
The intertidal and soft-cliff suite: saltmarsh, sand dunes, vegetated shingle, maritime cliff and slope, mudflats and saline lagoons: plus Heritage Coast, Marine Conservation Zones, Scottish MPAs, and the SPA and Ramsar designations that nearly always sit over an estuary. The Coast Path is included because access and designation overlap constantly on this kind of site.
Visiting
Walks, parks and places worth the trip: the map for a day out.
Landscape character
What the landscape is, before what is protected: character areas, LANDMAP, wild land and the scenic designations.
