	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2024 answer text <p>Defra has not issued any current guidance to the Marine Management Organisation (MMO). The MMO follows the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 (MCAA) when considering how to engage and consult with local communities affected by marine developments, including seaweed farm applications. The Act requires that there must be publication of notice of an application for a marine licence, in a manner that the MMO considers most likely to bring the proposal to the attention of people with an interest in it. The licensing authority must have regard to any representations which it receives from any person having an interest in the outcome of the application.</p> answering member constituency Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice answering member printed Emma Hardy question first answered 23/07/2024 15:57:19 answering member 4645 label Biography information for Emma Hardy
