Details

On 29 January 2020, Natural England submitted a collection of reports to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs setting out the proposals for improved access to the coast between Aldeburgh and Hopton-on-Sea (AHS).

The opportunity to comment closed at midnight on Wednesday, 25 March 2020. You can no longer make a representation or objection on proposals.

All representations and objections will be considered before the Secretary of State makes a final decision about the reports.

You can:

  • read the overview report which includes background information to help you understand the proposals and maps
  • use the index map to find the relevant report for the length of coast you are interested in
  • open the corresponding report for more information

Outcome

On 23 June 2022, the Secretary of State approved the proposals for lengths AHS1 to AHS3, AHS5 and AHS6.

On 12 December 2024, the lengths Aldeburgh to Southwold (AHS1 to AHS3) and Lowestoft to Hopton-on-Sea (AHS6) opened to the public.
