The documents explain the justification for the Direction including a map of the proposed Section 28 Direction area, additional information and glossary.
Background informationSection 28 of the CROW Act allows the Secretary of State for Defence to exclude or restrict access by direction to any land if this is felt necessary for the purposes of defence or national security.
