It isn't really an issue of "losing water rights".
The railway has a right of way along the waterfront, South Down has an agreement to cross the railway for the marina, and to use the adjoining property.
A few years back there was a group trying to use the right-of-way next to the tracks to create a walking trail (the WOW trail) along the tracks. Part of that arrangement requires a fence to separate the walking trail from the tracks for safety purposes.
Southdown has been more opposed to the fence than to the trail itself, but either way, progress on the WOW trail appears to be mostly dead anyway.
