Coastal Access Bill enters Lords with major concessions won by CLA The Marine and Coastal Access Bill will tomorrow (Wednesday, 11 November) enter the House of Lords on the final straight of its Parliamentary run - with major concessions won by the CLA. While opposing the coastal access part of the Bill, the CLA has achieved amendments giving coastal landowners a vital right of appeal.
CLA President Henry Aubrey-Fletcher said: "We have fought hard for the rights of landowners potentially affected by this proposed Bill and won in several major areas. Highly successful CLA lobbying has led to the right of appeal and private parks and gardens being excluded from the Bill.
"We have always been against the Bill in principle, but at least the Government has conceded in some areas. However, it still remains to be seen just how the implementation of the path will impact on coastal businesses."
The CLA President added: "The CLA will continue to lobby on the implementation of the Bill and will also be active in advising landowners during the process."
