The dissertation investigates the role of spatial planning in coastal flood management (FM) using the North West coastline as a case study to investigate how national and regional policy integrates into the local policies. The review of literature touches on the nature of flooding, flood management in the UK, the threats of the climate change, the gap between FM policy and practice, the role of statutory plans play in coastal management and planning, etc. The research method is described as a desk based study. Conclusions are made about the contradictions in policy frameworks that exist between flood specific and coastal zone planning guidance.
