It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 1.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

  • Lesbury House V6
    Lesbury House (and some of its residents). The first formal recording concerning the property is that a local businessman, William Hay, in 1812 was leasing Lesbury House from the Duke of Northumberland. During the last years of the previous century William Hay, through a fortuitous marriage and a win, in todays terms, of £65000 in the ‘national lottery’, built up a series of businesses in Alnmouth. Twenty seven years earlier, in 1785 he had expanded his business empire by taking over, with the mill, ’a house with stables in Lesbury.’ We know that in 1791 William sold his house in Alnmouth and it is speculated that, by incorporating some of the existing building as a rear wing, he had Lesbury House built. Historic England in its current listing of the property describes the house, at this time. as being ‘built around 1800 and incorporating an earlier eighteenth century rear wing’. The building listed consisted of much of the property which we see today with a southern frontage of five bays and a centrally located front door. An 1812 site plan shows a ‘substantial house’ with an extension to the north and a range of smaller buildings adjoining its eastern side. Principal access was through the current drive. The plan also shows two contiguous ranges of buildings just to the north of the entrance where the cottages now stand. The uneven wall to the north of the property facing Main Street can be seen to be part of a further four of the original buildings (cottages or outbuildings). There was a secondary (or service) entrance to the house just to the west of these cottages.
