Double victory for CLA on coastal accessThe CLA has today welcomed a double victory for a right to appeal for coastal access being backed by both the Joint Committee and the Efra Committee. Both the Joint Committee report, published tomorrow, and the Efra report, released last week support CLA concerns for a fully independent appeals process for those who will be negatively affected by the Draft Marine Bill on access to the coast.
CLA Deputy President William Worsley said: "The CLA has lobbied hard on the issue of coastal access and will continue to do so to protect those with land, property and businesses along the English coast. We are encouraged by the support shown by the some of the recommendations made by the Joint Committee and hope that the Government will listen to this advice. Although the joint committees recommendations still leaves uncertainty around "private gardens and parks"
The CLA Deputy President said: "By failing to categorically exclude parks and gardens from this legislation those living on the coast will still worry that the Bill could affect them adversely."
The CLA welcomes The Joint Committee's statement on the need for clarity on the issue of compensation for proven loss.
The CLA Deputy President said: "The CLA is adamant that compensation for proven loss is absolutely essential to avoid natural injustice."
"Our message to Government is that both committees have shown that there is still a lot of work needed on this draft Bill to ensure the private property rights of those who live and have businesses on the coast are protected."
