Christina - if you are looking to 'protect' the right of access, as it's not on the actual title over which it has been granted/created then the best option is to get legal advice
Yes third parties can seek to protect certain interests using forms UN1 or RX1 but they are not generally for the protection of actual rights (easements) -
Notices, restrictions and protection of third-party interests (PG19) - GOV.UK
Easements are something else and our PGs 52 and 62 explain more re how they might be claimed and noted and/or granted/reserved and registered against both the benefiting and subjective land as appropriate
Easements claimed by prescription (PG52) - GOV.UK and
Easements (PG62) - GOV.UK
However it reads very much as if this is something to pursue through the planning process and/or legal action as you suggest. You already have the 'right' registered in some way so it's more a Q of ensuring that is then protected so as to stop anyone denying you that right.
Legal advice would certainly be the 'best' next option here
