Updated: Database spreadsheet updated
The Issues Database has been produced following public consultation (summer 2016) to gather issues and supporting evidence for the north east, north west, south east and south west marine plan areas.
An issue is an opportunity or challenge to the marine plan area which is likely to drive or be affected by change, and that can be addressed, at least in part, by marine planning.
Evidence includes social, economic or environmental data, academic research, government policy and expert opinion.
Many issues are ‘common’ across some or all other plan areas, including those covered by the adopted East Marine Plans and the draft South Marine Plan. If a common issue has been addressed in the South and/or East Marine Plans by a policy, it has been recommended as a proposed draft policy or ‘common policy’.
The Issues Database includes:
The Issues Database has also been divided into two further spreadsheets to include proposed draft common policies. The two spreadsheets are:
There is also two supporting spreadsheet which includes the proposed draft common policies by marine plan area and explains the policy codes.
Some issues have multiple sources of associated evidence. Where this is the case the issue is repeated for each evidence source.
The table below provides more information on the different database headings.
| Heading | Explanation |
|---|---|
| ID | Unique reference number that has been automatically assigned to the record |
| Plan-area | The marine plan area that this issue applies to.
Please note that issues may apply to a single marine plan area, all marine plan areas or a combination of plan areas. In order to filter by plan area choose ‘text filter’ and ‘contains’ from the filter menu then enter the plan area name required (eg ‘north east’) |
| Theme | Defined as economic, environment, governance or social |
| Issue | Description of the issue |
| Evidence | Name/title of the evidence source |
| URL | Location that the evidence can be accessed from |
| Confidence | Indicative confidence rating assigned to the evidence source:
High (H) has been quality assured for use in marine plans. Medium (M) is a published report/data/plan that has not been quality assured for use in marine plans, but a level of confidence exists as it has been published. Low (L) comes from unpublished sources, such as anecdotal comments and requires both follow up and quality assurance |
Proposed draft policies are also available on our Marine Information System (MIS)

Updated: Problematic Waste Inventory Summary (May 2018) added
In order to support delivery of the NDA’s 2016 Strategy, a Problematic Waste Integrated Project Team (IPT) was established in May 2016. Its objective is to develop a co-ordinated and improved approach to the industry-wide management of problematic radioactive waste. The IPT is being led by LLW Repository Ltd and RWM on behalf of the NDA and includes engagement with a range of stakeholders. Documents related to the IPT can be found on this section of the website.
Updated: Avian influenza in wild birds: 2018 updated
This report is produced by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) and is updated weekly with findings of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) – often referred to as bird flu – in wild birds in Great Britain.
These are findings of avian influenza from our ongoing routine surveillance for avian influenza in wild birds. This surveillance is made up of patrols by wild bird reserve wardens and collections of found-dead wild birds reported to us by members of the public. This data only represents cases where birds have tested positive for avian influenza.
Read avian influenza (bird flu) in winter 2017 to 2018 or avian influenza (bird flu) detailed guidance for the latest information.
