When I was adding this:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/52984927

which is something that you do need an actual permit to access (on a 
horse) I left the horse access as "permissive" but added a note against 
it.  I'm not sure that "access=permit" without some sort of note would 
make it clear (even to a native English speaker).

Cheers,
Andy
