Title: Detecting on the foreshore. Post by: Mrs Steptoe on March 22, 2011, 02:31:01 PM With the spring weather I thought I would trot the detector out to the beach and see how it performs .I understand we are required,according to the Crown Estate site,to have a metal detecting permit for the beaches marked red on their map.However,the permit will not download,no matter which site I try to access it from.Has anybody else had the same problem?

Title: Re: Detecting on the foreshore. Post by: geordiefred on March 22, 2011, 04:46:00 PM You should be able to apply and then print off your application from the Crown Estate site, I assume your ticking the box to accept their terms and conditions?

Post by: Mrs Steptoe on March 22, 2011, 05:05:24 PM I wish I could get as far as applying,but the link on their site to apply for the permit always shows 'Page unavailable'.Have tried ringing Iain Mills on the number given,but he is on leave.Grrr.Typical Civil Service! >:(

Post by: Mrs Steptoe on March 23, 2011, 07:46:50 PM Finally got through to a very helpful lady at the Crown Estates who confirmed there is a problem on their web pages and is posting me the form.If any-one else wants a permit telephone Claire Tallboys on 02078515266.
Thanks to all who were trying to help. Title: Re: Detecting on the foreshore. Post by: EMU Ex Minelabuser on May 27, 2011, 09:43:59 PM i was stoped and quizzed in tenby by a council official being escorted by a police officer

Title: Re: Detecting on the foreshore. Post by: dances with badgers on May 30, 2011, 06:00:41 AM do you need a permit to fish on a crown beach if not why not ?
Title: Re: Detecting on the foreshore. Post by: Val Beechey on May 30, 2011, 07:42:31 AM Without checking it, I seem to remember that the standard fishing licence allows you to fish the fore shore, but only for certain fish.
So the answer is yes. Val Title: Re: Detecting on the foreshore. Post by: dances with badgers on May 30, 2011, 07:45:00 AM i gave up fishing ,dont like killing things anymore.i think i went soft after i hit 40 lol
Title: Re: Detecting on the foreshore. Post by: EMU Ex Minelabuser on May 30, 2011, 05:03:49 PM I believe that there is no permit / licence required for any sort of sea fishing including a tidal estuary
