The PLA foreshore/mudlark permit is valid only WEST of the Thames Barrier, so it does not apply here and the PLA scheme does not permit searching or digging east of the Barrier. The foreshore is Crown Estate: casual beachcombing is often tolerated, but digging or metal detecting needs Crown Estate or landowner permission, and the adjoining Thames Estuary marshes are SSSI. Confirm any digging with the Crown Estate first.
