Seem to be involved in wind turbine sites in North Wales. Do they own the sandbanks then?

it seems they own the sea bed below the low water mark. thus they give themselves the right to charge for moorings etc. they may delegate the right to local operators e.g. marina owners in return for ground rent.
they, like the duchy of cornwall, are a particularly grasping lot and are quite happy to dump current tenants if someone comes along with a better offer. so if you have a mooring and someone wants to build a marina there, tough on you!

An anachronistic quango which has no place in the 21st Century, that thinks it owns everything and can impose swingeing charges for little or no benefit.
The French effectively sorted this sort of thing a couple of hundred years ago, but it involved tumbrills and guillotines - so why not here......?

Agree completely .. and with them gone the pretence of a constitutional role would disappear and maybe we'd get a proper constitution with proper checks on the executive.

Agreed... no place for such anachronistic nonsense.
We should all adopt the sensible laws as practiced in some parts of Scotland where lairds have rights over the seabed for as far as a spear can be thrown from the low water mark.

I love it. Only HMG could turn a lot of mudflats into an earner without doing a thing.
Instead of farming award they ought to try "The Alchemist awards" or some sort of "Young Highwayman" thing. I thought piracy had died out in home waters.
