Proposed regulations for appeals against works notices, exclusions or restrictions of access and dedication of land

Consultation on proposed regulations for appeals against works notices, exclusions or restrictions of access and dedication of land. Part 9 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 sets out proposals for improving access to the English coast.

This consultation welcomed views on the proposals relating to:

• regulations for appeals under paragraph 4(1) of Schedule 20 to the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 against notices given under paragraph 3(3) of that Schedule, and “means of access” appeals under section 38 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000;
• regulations for exclusions or restrictions of access on coastal land;  and
• regulations which will allow a landowner or long leaseholder to be able to dedicate land on or adjacent to the coastal margin as coastal margin under section 16 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000.
