Details

On 25 July 2019, 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 Aust and Brean Down.

The opportunity to comment closed at midnight on Thursday, 19 September 2019. You can no longer make a representation or objection on proposals.

All representations and objections were considered before the Secretary of State made 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
