- Outcome and reasons for the decision
-
This part of Public Footpath 518 was added to Definitive Map by the Legal Event Modification Order 1989. A legal event modification order cannot create a public right of way; it can only amend the Definitive Map in consequence of the creation or diversion of a public right of way by a public path order and no such order has been made in respect of the northernmost link of Public Footpath 518.
As a result of this error by the Legal Event Modification Order, the northernmost link of Public Footpath 518 is recorded as a public right of way in the Definitive Map where no public right of way legally exists on the ground. A decision has therefore been made to make a Definitive Map Modification Order to delete the northernmost link of Public Footpath 518 from the Definitive Map on the grounds that no public right of way legally exists over the land in the location of this route.
- Date modification order made
- 14 October 2019
- Confirmation,non confirmation (with,without mods)
-
The Definitive Map Modification was confirmed by the County Council as unopposed on 16 December 2019. This means that this part of Public Footpath 518 has been deleted from the legal record of public rights of way, the Definitive Map and Statement, and it is therefore no longer recorded as a public right of way.
