<p>The England Coast Path (ECP) will be a 2,700 mile walking route around the coast
of England. Natural England have been allocated £25.6m between 2015 and 2020 to deliver
the England Coast Path.</p><p> </p><p>A summary of progress on each of the 16 open
or approved stretches is included in Table A and B. The 50 unopened stretches are
summarised in Table C. Estimated cost of establishment works and opening dates are
provided where known.</p><p> </p><p>The ECP proposals are within scope of a European
Court opinion, known colloquially as <em>People over Wind</em> (PoW), which was handed
down in April 2018. The PoW opinion affects the way Natural England manage the impact
of their proposals on sites with nature conservation designations. As such, the PoW
court ruling has impacted on delivery of the path to date and will continue to have
an impact moving forward.</p><p> </p><p>In light of this judgement and progress to
date the 2020 delivery date is being reviewed. Natural England continue to work towards
opening as much of the path as possible by 2020.</p><p> </p><p>To date the delivery
programme has cost £18million. Establishment costs have been funded through grant
in aid to Natural England. From 2018/19 Rural Development Programme for England funding
has been available for local authorities to meet the cost of establishment.</p><p><ins
