The coastal zone attracts diverse users and stakeholders related to a wide range of on and offshore activities and land uses, including aquaculture, wind and hydro power-developments, shipping lanes, fishing, recreation, and travel. There is demand for new housing, and vacation home development, as well as desire for public access to the coast. Coastal zone management and planning is fragmented in its response to this diversity, with overlapping competences and conflicts between municipalities and sector authorities. This project examines this fragmentation in four ways. Firstly, we analyze the relationship between national guidelines and local and regional planning. Secondly, we study the dynamics between development consents for projects by sector authorities, and comprehensive planning according to The Planning and Building Act. Thirdly, we address the new challenges arising from the creation of national parks in coastal zones, in the cases of the Færder, Ytre Hvaler and Kosterhavet national parks. Fourthly, we assess how exclusive rights in public planning influence both the scope of plans and their implementation. How, for example, consent for aquaculture installations and small craft harbours may create nuisances affecting neighbouring properties. Conversely, we also investigate whether exclusive rights may be changed through public planning. Local and regional planning according to The Planning and Building Act works as the predominant integrative tool for the coastal zone in Norway. However, there are legal and structural challenges which prevent this from working as well as it could. We have identified four such, and our proposal is to research into them with the objective of developing answers to how they can be overcome. They are: (1) the implementation of national strategies and guidelines into very different local planning conditions in the coastal zone, (2) the conflicts between development consents (for energy projects and aqua culture) granted by sector authorities, and planning authorities, (3) the relationship between new management regimes for national parks and planning authorities, and, (4) whether and how exclusive rights in the coastal zone change when planning needs change, and vice versa. The project is interdisciplinary between the legal profession and the social sciences. Initially, we will make clarifications of the formal competences, and other legal issues. This will give way to investigations into, first, how legal aspects are perceived by actors, what room there is for cooperative solutions within them. Moving on to structures such as management systems and across-case policy considerations, the project will explore further obstacles for finding integrated solutions. Put together with international experiences, the interdisciplinary approach will give us solid foundations for suggesting improvements. Project findings will be synthesized to also suggest overarching approaches to harmonizing the relationship between municipalities and sector authorities, so that also other contexts than four concrete mentioned, are benefited.
