Proposed Map Changes

For a range of reasons it may be necessary or desirable to make changes to the existing rights of way network. These include recognising public rights on previously unrecorded paths, requests to divert an existing path to enable development or improve land management, changing the status of a route (from footpath to bridleway for instance) or, very rarely, to extinguish a right of way.

Before any changes to the rights of way network are made, in each case the change must firstly meet defined legal criteria and secondly be publicised and open to public objection. Any public objections will be heard by an Inspector from the Planning Inspectorate and he or she will then determine the outcome based on the evidence put forward.

The cases documented on this page include applications received that are going through the legal process. The changes proposed in the documents have not yet taken effect and the existing public rights still apply. 

A copy of the order and the order plan can be viewed by clicking on the relevant pdf. If you wish to object to advertised orders then please contact the Public Rights of Way Team or formally lodge an objection in writing with the Council's Legal Department.
