I am proposing this in order that there will be a more comprehensive approach to this to ensure proper consideration of compliance with the maritime spatial planning directive.

The draft national marine planning framework had a matrix showing the interactions of about 75 policies and objectives, which clearly showed the complexity in this area. In terms of compliance, having this explicitly stated in the Bill would be beneficial.
