On 23 July 2025, Natural England submitted a report to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs setting out the proposals for improved access to the coast between Lulworth Cove and Kimmeridge Bay.

The opportunity to comment closed at midnight on Wednesday, 17 September 2025. You can no longer make a representation or objection on proposals.
