Heritage Coast
This spatial dataset contains digitised boundaries of heritage coasts in Wales. Heritage Coasts occupy about a third of the Welsh coastline, that is 500 km (300 miles). These sites were set up to protect our coastlines from insensitive developments. Most are defined simply by the coastline between two named points, however some have clearly defined inland boundaries. Their status carries no legal protection, but planning authorities must take the designation into account when making decisions on development. Management of Heritage Coasts is the remit of the local authority and is generally carried out by Heritage Coast Officers with some practical tasks done by volunteers. Most of the Heritage coastal strips were defined in 1973, 1974 and one in 1984. The descriptions and paper maps associated with this dataset are the legal documents.

This designation was launched in the seventies to protect our coastlines from insensitive developments. Digitising this data makes it more mobile and helps safeguard these areas. The data was first digitally captured in 1995 and the latest update in 2010 to OS Mastermap. The data was checked by Natural Resources Wales' (NRW) staff. NRW inherited the descriptions of the Heritage Coasts designations that lie within Wales from the Countryside Commission. Most are represented by pairs of co-ordinates and just two have boundaries Great Orme (1:10560) and Glamorgan (1:50,000). Using this source the designations were digitised on to OS MasterMap 2006. For all Heritage Coast sites we have buffered a line 0.6 km from Mean High Water Mark (MHWM) and then given this line a 1 metre width in order to conform to supplying polygon data. This has been done for reasons of cartographic display as well as showing there is no definitive terrestrial area given for the majority of sites.
