Since the prospect of new access legislation arose, Ken has been particularly active in this area of policy development and implementation.

Ken has undertaken research for Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), Countryside Agency (see above), Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) and Forestry Commission on risks associated with access to the countryside, although the work for SNH focuses more on managing access.

Also of significance was his work for Defra/DETR in undertaking economic and regulatory impact appraisals of proposals for increasing access to Open Countryside. He has helped different organisations assess the impacts on their activities; this includes the Ministry Of Defence, Gwynedd Council, the Local Government Association and the Countryside Agency.

Work for the Local Government Association included a review of possible funding sources to meet extra costs arising as a result of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CROW Act).

On other projects for the Countryside Agency, English Nature and the MOD, he has provided advice and collated information about good practice on the management of public access, in relation to health and safety, and fire risk.
