Delivery of Share Our Shores Project 2024-2025 for Essex Coast RAMS Mitigation

About

Chelmsford City Council awarded a contract to Essex Wildlife Trust Limited for the provision of the Share Our Shores project 2025-2026, valued at £100,000.

The project manages the delivery of the Essex Coast Recreational disturbance Avoidance and Mitigation Strategy (RAMS) mitigation package, coordinating the RAMS strategy across Essex.

The Essex Coast RAMS is a partnership project with 12 Essex Local Planning Authorities, including Chelmsford City Council, responsible for mitigating the impacts of predicted house building in Essex and the in-combination effect on designated Habitat Sites along the Essex Coast.

Under the Habitats Regulations, the project ensures that no additional recreational pressures (disturbance) occur to the Habitat Sites as a result of planned house building identified in each LPA's Local Plan.
