The Planning Service works on behalf of local people to protect,
enhance and develop the environment, for now and for the future. We
balance the views of neighbours, residents and amenity groups,
local businesses, and parish and town councils. Our services covers
most aspects of planning in the area, from building an extension on
a house to major housing or individual developments. Click here to
go to the
Planning home page which gives more details and links to the
services we provide.
The Council has a coastline of 60km and the Coast Protection
Section maintains the sea defence structures along 18.5km of this
frontage. These defences protect the towns of Harwich, Dovercourt,
and Walton on the Naze, Frinton on Sea, Holland on Sea, Clacton and
Brightlingsea.
Works undertaken range from day to day maintenance of promenades
and seawalls to the design and implementation of major capital
schemes costing many millions of pounds. Each year several sections
of the sea defences are renewed as part of a rolling programme of
special maintenance schemes funded from the Council's Revenue
Budgets.
Larger schemes are produced to comply with DEFRA guidelines and
their High Level Targets for coast protection.
All works are designed in house using modern surveying
techniques and the latest computer aided design technology.
Other work carried out includes the maintenance of the cliff
paths and slopes on behalf of Leisure Services. Click here to go to

coast protection pages for more
