The Crown Estate’s collaboration with the Marine Management Organisation and other relevant statutory bodies is governed by the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009. The Act establishes the framework for marine planning and licensing in the UK, and it requires the Crown Estate to have regard to marine policy documents, such as marine plans, in its decision making. The work of the Crown Estate is also governed by the habitat regulations, which require it to conduct plan-level habitat regulation assessments for leasing or licensing activities.
