The designation of the Causeway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty AONB , which covers an area of spectacular coastal scenery stretching over approximately 29 km, gives formal statutory recognition to the quality of the landscape. The UK Government protects World Heritage properties and their surroundings under the spatial planning system through a hierarchy of regional and local policies and plans. The Crown Estate is considered the legal owner of all lands between high and low water mark and has rights over the sea bed within territorial waters.
This management framework ensures delivery of the management requirements for the property and its Outstanding Universal Value, as well as the conservation requirements arising from all the various designations, with the delivery of a world-class experience of the property by its visitors.
Path routes, and possibly even site boundaries, may need to be changed to accommodate the effects of this process. Changes in sea level or an increased frequency of storm events may also, in the future, affect the degree to which the causeway is accessible or visible.
The need to continue to monitor the effects of climate change and erosion is recognised in the Management Plan and associated action plan. Other threats requiring effective protection and management include direct damage to natural features within the property through human impact.
This is addressed through legal control and management by the National Trust. Damage to the setting of the property through human impact resulting from inappropriate development or land use is addressed through legal and spatial planning control measures.
