Title: BEACH DETECTING PERMIT. Post by: daf.vinci on July 22, 2009, 03:08:02 PM Hi guys,
After several emails to the crown estates people requesting a beach permit,i have not received a reply from any of them. Does anyone have a phone number that i can get through to them on please. Title: Re: BEACH DETECTING PERMIT. Post by: handyman [Alan} on July 22, 2009, 04:21:00 PM i applied and got a response last week, within 24hrs. they sent a map indicating the beach areas that they owned [marked in red].
i contacted Iain Mills direct and got a very helpful and courteous reply. Iain.Mills@thecrownestate.co.uk hope this helps cheers Title: Re: BEACH DETECTING PERMIT. Post by: daf.vinci on July 22, 2009, 04:30:25 PM Thats who i have been emailing too.I have emailed him for the 4th time 2day.

Title: Re: BEACH DETECTING PERMIT. Post by: daf.vinci on July 22, 2009, 04:33:15 PM The permit is FREE and i assume it covers all beaches owned by the crown estates.

Apparently you do digga.Thats why i thought better safe than sorry.Especially when its free. Title: Re: BEACH DETECTING PERMIT. Post by: PHIL YNYSBOETH on July 22, 2009, 04:40:03 PM Dont take it personal Daf I applied years ago and i still havnt had a reply i think sorting out Beach combers are high on there to do list lol
Title: Re: BEACH DETECTING PERMIT. Post by: handyman [Alan} on July 22, 2009, 04:42:18 PM most beaches are owned by the crown estate, hence the need to approach them for permission. the permit is free.
always indicate which area of the uk you intend to detect on and you will get a map in return [pdf file], of the area clearly indicating where the crown owns the land. eg swansea and gower - beach land is owned by others - eg national trust, council. however neath valley and pembrey round to northern tip of cardigan bay - is all owned by crown estate. for daf, the tel. numbe ris The Crown Estate 16 New Burlington Place London W1S 2HX Tel: 020 7851 5267 Title: Re: BEACH DETECTING PERMIT.

Post by: DIGGA on July 22, 2009, 04:46:49 PM WELL THEY SAY YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: BEACH DETECTING PERMIT. Post by: handyman [Alan} on July 22, 2009, 04:49:35 PM there is a new permit system being developed, and it is still in its early days. hence the present system reliant on emailing Iain Mills.
soon we will be able to do it all online and get an instant response. All this information has been printed in 'the searcher' over the past few months, along with regular updates by NCMD. Title: Re: BEACH DETECTING PERMIT. Post by: DATA311(Alan) on July 22, 2009, 07:37:23 PM When i requested a permit from the Crown it took no time at all to sort.
I can only assume the relevant person to be contacted ( Iain Mills ) is otherwise engaged or on holiday...??? Just gotta keep trying mate, they will answer I'm sure in their own good time...... ??? Title: Re: BEACH DETECTING PERMIT. Post by: altinkum on July 22, 2009, 09:46:02 PM they can stick their permit where the sun dont shine. it might be free at the moment but if enough people apply for one they will twig on they can make from them. and how do they own all these beach's did they buy them from the public and what are your rights due to the magna carta. mike
Title: Re: BEACH DETECTING PERMIT. Post by: PHIL YNYSBOETH on July 22, 2009, 09:58:59 PM Im with you Mike why dont they make kids apply for permits ?
They make bigger holes than Detectorists, and what about Dogs in the Winter months ? It seems you can build a 10 foot tall Sand castle or dig and hole the size of the Grand Canyon and have a poo on the beach but you cant swing a battery powered stick with a polo mint stuck on the end of it with out a permit. Ive been Beach Hunting for roughly 10 years and ive never heared of anyone being in any trouble detecting without a permit ,ive been moved on a few times tho lol Fight the Power ! 0/ Title: Re: BEACH DETECTING PERMIT.

Title: Re: BEACH DETECTING PERMIT. Post by: PHIL YNYSBOETH on July 23, 2009, 02:13:48 PM lol Alan
The Crown Estate used to charge £15 per beach per year and you was restricted to the size of holes you dug. I know the charge was scraped 2 years ago but i think there still restrictions on size maybe someone could let me know all the best phil Title: Re: BEACH DETECTING PERMIT. Post by: daf.vinci on July 23, 2009, 03:05:14 PM I was starting to think along the same lines too,but Iain mills finaly got in touch today and gave me a link to apply.So i thought f£%& it,might as well then.
It took me about 30 seconds and within 5 minutes they emailed me a permit.
