1. What is a Beach Management Plan?
A Beach Management Plan (BMP) is a plan for managing a beach at a local level for the purpose of Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management.
BMPs take into account and, where possible promotes or enhances the other uses and functions of a beach.
Consideration is given to the current condition of the beach and coastal defences, alongside their long-term future. BMPs outline the considerations and actions to be taken for the next 5 years.
