News Article: King Charles III England Coast Path Route Changes Approved at Bonchurch, Ventnor
After a period for public comment, the decision about the proposed changes to the King Charles III England Coast Path route at Bonchurch, Ventnor, on the Isle of Wight, has been made.
The comment period closed at midnight on Wednesday, 13 November 2024. During this time, objections to the changes were passed to an independent planning inspector for review.
The independent planning inspector has recommended accepting Natural England's proposals to change the route in Bonchurch, Ventnor, to better protect sensitive natural habitats and ensure sustainable public access.
However, the final decision about the changes rests with the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. The Secretary of State made a decision on 9 July 2025, and approved the proposals.
The recommendations made by the independent planning inspector are still pending review by the Secretary of State. The timeline for a final decision on the changes to the proposed route is not specified in the report.
Once the decision is made, Natural England will publish further details of the approved route in due course. It is expected that the changes will be made to the Isle of Wight stretch of the King Charles III England Coast Path.
The King Charles III England Coast Path is a long-distance walking route that follows the coastline of England. The route at Bonchurch, Ventnor, was submitted for change by Natural England on 18 September 2024.
No further representations or objections can be made on the proposals, as the comment period closed on 13 November 2024. The public is encouraged to stay informed about the final decision and the approved route through Natural England's official channels.
