The Access to the Countryside (Exclusions and Restrictions) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2011
Part 1 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (“the Act”) confers a public right of access to certain types of land, subject to certain conditions. Chapter 2 of Part 1 provides for the exclusion or restriction of this right in certain circumstances. Chapter 2 was modified by article 8 of, and Part 3 of the Schedule to, the Access to the Countryside (Coastal Margin) (England) Order 2010 (S.I. 2010/558) (“the Coastal Margin Order”) in relation to land which is coastal margin (as defined by section 1(2) of the Act). These Regulations, which apply in relation to England only, amend the Access to the Countryside (Exclusions and Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/2713) (“the 2003 Regulations”) which were themselves amended by the Access to the Countryside (Exclusions and Restrictions)(England)(Amendment) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/990).
