Another stakeholder has commented '...As it stands it looks like the tool (portal) will support people to make their own decisions on how to use the comparisons which is helpful.' #CoastalClassification @ukri.org
An attendee has commented on the portal that '...what is most useful is the ability to download what LSOA/OA are in each of the classifications without us having to calculate this. Is it possible to download the boundary files.' Alex is explaining how this is possible.
Sheela has put another question to our stakeholders: 'In terms of a coastal classification, should we avoid simplistic proximity-based definitions & instead restrict our classification to communities with a functional relationship with the coast and sea?' #CoastalClassification

Alex has started to explain the data portal and how it will be used by us to decide 1) What is coastal, which areas do we include & exclude in our definition. 2) The classification. And, how the data will be useful to our stakeholders beyond the project. #CoastalClassification

We are looking at defining coastal areas based on distance from the coast and the function of an area (industry/social characteristics). We're collecting stakeholder opinions on what limits we should place on these definitions or on our approach.
A stakeholder on the call has disclosed that they had a similar issue deciding on whether Hull should be considered coastal, and they decided to exclude it #CoastalClassification

A question from Alex on the call: Should we include London in the classification? 1) No, if we're basing our classification on fringe, peripheral areas but 2) Yes, if we're basing our classification on environmental issues, particularly flooding & flooding defenses #CoastalClassification @ukri.org
A question for our stakeholders on the call: 'How should we treat rural localities which lie alongside the coast but which as inter-tidal areas, marshes or cliffs, have little connection with the sea - are they really coastal?'

Alex is discussing t/ CESA data portal. The portal makes health, econ., social & housing data available (to you, our stakeholders). There are 2 elements to our study 1) What is coastal? (working with stakeholders to define this) 2) How we use the data to define this & does this make sense locally?
