I hope that this might give teeth to the management of those who view cheap Tesco camping equipment as disposable and the moors as suitable for destruction under their SUVs, while those who really are respecting and valuing the environment probably won’t get observed or detected at all. Precisely because they take care of it.

But it will depend on whether landowners do go after the big tent litterbugs on their land.

There never was a right to camp on private property without the landowners permission. This judgement merely reiterated that fact.

Quite a few people replying on here falling in to the trap that this landowner and judgement is because of the crass idiot camping we have all seen the headlines for. This isn't what has happened here.

The landowner and a neighbour have carried out a carefully orchestrated and expensive campaign to make it as difficult as possible for recreational activity to take place on the common land they bought simply because they wish to use it for game shoots and other exclusive money making pursuits.

As to the idiot campers - there are already plenty of laws to cover that behaviour but the National Park Authority and Police are underfunded and therefore uninterested in complying with their statutory duty to tackle such behaviour effectively.

Court of Appeal have overtunred the original decision as the byelaws don't specifically exclude camping and it is deemed an open air recreational activity.

That is really bad news for all and not just the landowners and hope that the landowners fight it! Hopefully they will start a Gofundme or similar campaign?

agree with Dave and Cyn, but what I would really like to know is how the two land owners managed to aquire common land which is supposed to be protected for all.
