Coastal Access - England The CLA works with its members to help those with land affected by the new public right to marine and coastal access so they can reach a fair balance which also reflects their needs. Read coverage in The Sunday Times of the CLA's work on coastal access and the experiences of some of those affected. (Posted: 11 May 2010) A new coastal path around England is now being created under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009. It will be rolled-out across the country from 2010 to 2020. The path may be up to four metres wide. There will also be a coastal margin, or "spreading area" for the public to enjoy. The spreading room will usually extend seawards, allowing unfettered access to cliffs, dunes, mudflats, saltmarsh, beaches and the sea. The trail will be located on stable ground as close to the coast as possible. The coastal access scheme is now in place. See the details on Natural England's website. Natural England issued its final report for Weymouth Bay on 23 March 2011. The consultation on this closes on 17 May 2011. Guidance is available to members who wish to make representations or objections on these coastal access proposals. Advice for members affected by the scheme is available below. NewsThe Government has approved Natural England's Coastal Access scheme. CLA Deputy President Harry Cotterell said: "Natural England's audit takes a very constrained view of public access, and even ignores parts of existing coastal access routes and public rights of way. "It also ignores the many other ways in which people are entitled to walk along the coast, such as under the right of access introduced by the CROW Act, or because the landowner has given permission. These areas are also accessible to walkers. It seems strange and misleading for Natural England not to take them into account." (5 April 2010)
