Access - A Practical Update We get a lot of enquiries from members about access problems – in too many cases the problem has arisen because members have left it too long before taking appropriate action.
Public access continues to raise issues which landowners must ensure they understand and that appropriate measures are put in place to enable them to manage access successfully on their land.
The CLA and Dyne Drewett are hosting a seminar on public access to land at Holbrook House, Wincanton on Tuesday 27 March – when the speakers will be three of the leading specialists in the field:
· Sarah Slade – Chartered Surveyor and the CLA National Access Adviser · Dr Karen Jones – Barrister with Tanfield Chambers and former head of the CLA legal department · Jonathan Cheal – Solicitor and Partner with Dyne Drewett and President of the CLA Somerset branch
Coastal Access, with its questions on spreading room and liability; the need for reforms to the Animals Act; controversial legislation relating to village greens and pressures to include ancient or disused Rights of Way on the Definitive Map, are all currently presenting challenges for land owners and managers. At the same time, Government proposals for improving rights of way based on the Stepping Forward report are being developed which means that the policy agenda is also changing.
Our three speakers are leading figures in the access debate and bring a wealth of knowledge, specialism and practical experience to the table. They will discuss:
· How to react when there is a threat to your land · How best to prevent rights arising · How to manage the access you have
Access - A Practical Update will be held at Holbrook House, Holbrook House, Wincanton, Somerset BA9 8BS on Tuesday 27 March from 4pm-7pm. Cost: CLA members £17; Non-members £30
