The extension of public access rights to the coastal strip has
a number of unexpected implications for those having rights to or over the land affected.
Natural England has a responsibility to balance various interests in working out details
of the access schemes but it is not clear how this will impact on matters such as sporting
rights, privacy, existing commercial activities, planning and development. There are also
uncertainties about the way the right will be applied in some estuaries.
