Mixed opinion amongst Access Forum members (record all views below)
Majority View Although there was agreement that the route should be a core path there was uncertainty over the preferred route, a number of members felt the diversion shown in the report would be favourable, however this would require obtaining the permission of all landowners affected by the diversion and the cost of the diversion should be met by the householder. If this cannot be achieved the route should be designated as is shown. Minority View

Majority View All members believe this should be a core path. There was some concern that the beach could be viewed as a private beach by the caravan park if the amended route was selected. Members asked whether it would be possible to extend the core path along the beach as well as follow the amended route through the field south of the caravan park. Minority View
