  • Otterham Quay to the Strand Leisure Park
    www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath England Coast Path Stretch: Iwade to Grain Report IGR 7: Otterham Quay to The Strand Leisure Park Part 7.1: Introduction Start Point: Otterham Quay (Grid reference 582837 167109) End Point: The Strand Leisure Park (Grid reference 578335 169230) Relevant Maps: IGR 7a to IGR 7d 7.1.1 This is one of a series of linked but legally separate reports published by Natural England under section 51 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, which make proposals to the Secretary of State for improved public access along and to this stretch of coast between Iwade in Kent, and Grain in Medway. 7.1.2 This report covers length IGR 7 of the stretch, which is the coast between Otterham Quay in Kent, and The Strand Leisure Park in Medway. 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. 7.1.3 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.

Whether summer or winter our coast is alive with birds of all kinds, and people come to enjoy the spectacle for recreation of all kinds. Many of us have been increasingly worried about the future of our coasts, with the ominous spectre of an Estuary Airport casting a shadow over us for far too long. Even the modest increase in air traffic following the successful upturn in business at Southend airport has been noticeable as the jets soar high overhead - although scarcely too intrusive. But it makes you shudder to think of the volume of air traffic which we would have had to endure if the Estuary Airport ever came to pass. That of course would have followed on from the whole destruction of much of our natural environment – whether on land or at sea.
