Changes to the Coast Path at Ferry Road, Kingsferry, Isle of Sheppey

A call for representations and objections.

Natural England has been asked by the government to establish a continuous walking route around England’s coastline. As part of this programme, to create the King Charles III England Coast Path and Coastal Margin, our report describes proposed changes to our approved proposals for public access between Ferry Road and Swale Station published on 22 January 2020.This report has been drawn up in partnership with Kent County Council.

Representations and objections on the proposed changes can now be made and must be received by Natural England no later than midnight on Tuesday 5 January 2027 in accordance with Regulation 4 of the Consideration and Modification Procedure (England) Regulations 2010.

The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs will then make a decision about the report when all representations and objections have been considered. Establishment of the new access arrangements will not begin until that decision is made.

How to make a representation or objection:

Representations may be made by any person, while objections may only be made by owners and occupiers of affected land. All representations and objections must be made on the correct forms supplied by Natural England.

The report and forms are available from the gov.uk website at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/king-charles-iii-england-coast-path-at-ferry-road-isle-of-sheppey-comment-on-proposals-to-change-the-approved-route
