We own a house that has a permitted right of access to the sea 50 metres from us. It is a right of access that we share with 28 other houses where we live - its got a locked gate that we are all key holders to. The land is actually owned by a very large expensive house next to it - which has recently been sold. The new owners want to replace the gates, get new keys for everyone, and have very adamantly expressed the view that for anyone to use the path they will need to pay for the new key, and contribute to the public liability policy they feel us necessary to use the path.. Are they allowed to do this? They also want to close the path for repairs this winter (it doesn't need any). I think I will need to get some legal advice with our over nighbours - but any advice very welcome!
