It seems odd that in the newsletter the proposed change to section 4.6 has no justification, unlike most of the other proposals for changes to the constitution.
From the 2016 AGM minutes it seems that the purpose is to change the constitution from automatically giving rights to landowners to respecting rights they have, because of the problems the current constitution has caused for the CRoW campaign. Given DEFRA's bizarre stance on daylight etc., surely this would just mean that the BCA would be obliged agree with with whatever their latest interpretation might be, regardless of how how sensible it is or how it impacts on caves/cavers?
A lot of people posting in this topic seem puzzled by all this, myself included. Can anyone give strong justification for the proposed change as opposed to removing the sentence altogether?
