Aggravated trespass is already a criminal offence under section 68 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. It occurs when a person trespasses on land and intimidates the landowner or others who are lawfully on the land, deterring them from carrying out or engaging in any lawful activity, or does anything to obstruct or disrupt that activity. A person guilty of this offence is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months, a fine or both.
