Seashore & Promenade Bylaws Proposals

As part of the public consultation that we are undertaking prior to the introduction of new bylaws affecting the seashore and the promenades in the district we would like to know what you think of the Byelaws we are proposing to introduce. The consultation is being undertaken so that we can implement the most appropriate bylaws to deal with any issues that occur in these areas. It may be that not all of the proposed bylaws are needed or that some are only suitable for certain stretches of beach. In order to make sure that the bylaws we introduce will be effective and are right for the area we are asking those who will be most affected to let us know what they think of the proposals.

There is a form for you to complete to let us know what you think of the Byelaws we are proposing to introduce. They are based on the following Model Set documents which have been produced by central government:


We would like you to indicate what you think of each byelaw and where it would be best implemented. Items 1-4 and 16-18 in Model set 5 and items 1-4 and 23-26 in Model set 6 have not been included in the consultation as these relate to administrative points for implementing the byelaws.

We have recorded the comments of the Community Needs are of the Council’s Scrutiny Panel. This panel has been given the task of overseeing the implementation of the new byelaws. The comments made by the panel have been included on the form to provide an indication of some of the issues that the Council believe need to be taken into account.

The closing date for the responses is the 1 May 2007. If you have any queries please contact us on 01502 523217.

We will be holding three public meetings where people will be able to put any questions they have about the new byelaws to council officers. These meetings are to be held as follows:
  • 16 March 2007 at 7.30pm - Church Hall, Church Road Kessingland
  • 20 March 2007 at 7.30pm - Council Chamber, Town Hall, High Street, Lowestoft
  • 26 March 2007 at 7.30pm - Southwold Town Hall 
Thank you for taking the time to complete the form.
