Natural England has now conceded additional recreational usage can be accommodated without harm to birdlife on KC111 coastal path including sections of the path on Isle of Sheppey which pass through the SPA. Surprise Surprise-dog owners can now be trusted to read signs to keep dogs on a leash thereby avoiding any harm. This payment can no longer be justified and Natural England should be held to account for how/ why it was ever charged in the first place. Amazing how NE can change its view when it suits.

If payments are still sought despite what NE now concede to be a non issue, then arrangements should be put in place to ensure that development sought on a temporary basis (eg Traveller sites) should not be required to make the full payment but 1/80th (or other agreed fee based on Bird Wise reports which set out how/why payment is collected) for each year permission is granted and it should be decided if the cost of collecting this sum can be justified for anything less than 5 years.
