Details

On 18 March 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 on the Isle of Wight (IOW).

The opportunity to comment closed at midnight on 9 June 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 report.

The report is available as a series of separate documents. You should:

  • read the overview 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
