Long Island Poole Result, I rest my case me lord.

I have had a very quick response from the Crown Estate which is below. This must unequivocally
prove that the Rempstone Estate does not own the foreshore and can therefore not take it upon themselves to ask you to leave. I rest my case me Lord!!

Our ref: 16 00 01
Dear Mr
Thank you for your email (copied below) received yesterday, via our website. I have checked our records and confirm the foreshore of Long Island, Poole Harbour, being the area between the mean high and the mean low water marks does belong to The Crown Estate. Our title is registered with the Land Registry under title numbers: DT366111 and DT366193.
In general The Crown Estate operates a permissive access policy to its foreshore, although this does not give rise to automatic access to land above the mean high water mark which is often the top section of a beach and this would be a matter for the individual landowner concerned.
Yours sincerely
Charles Green

You have been working hard, and a result. Probably a good idea to keep a copy of this on the boat, then can produce when required. The only thing is, is the high water mark clearly defined?
Otherwise get into, 'I'm below HW mark'. 'No you're not!' 'Yes I am' etc...... etc..........

The other thing is, of course, do we want the aggro????

Still, well done for taking up the cause. Does this apply to other islands?
