(2) A claim for compensation under this section shall be made within such time and in such manner as may be prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State, and shall be made to Natural England. (3) Nothing in this section shall confer on a person a right to compensation for depreciation of the value of an interest in land, or disturbance of his enjoyment of the land, being land which is not comprised in the coastal access report or if so comprised is excepted land, except if and in so far as either— (a) it is held with land comprised in the coastal access report which is not excepted land, or (b) the omission of any other person to exclude the public from the land comprised in the order or any part thereof would have been actionable at the suit of the first-mentioned person if the coastal access report had not come into operation."
