| Obligations with regards to public rights of way:
• The safety of the public using the PROW is to be ensured at all times.

• There must be no reduction in the width of the PROW available for use by the public.

themselves that any vehicular access is legally permitted.

Additional Guidance for Applicants
• If public safety necessitates a temporary closure, an application must be submitted at least six weeks in advance (unless an emergency situation arises) to
the Public Rights of Way Mapping Team at Worcestershire County Council: prowclosures@worcestershire.gov.uk . Please note that obstructing a public right of way without a formal closure order constitutes an offence under the Highways Act 1980.
• The granting of planning permission does not in itself authorise the obstruction or diversion of a public right of way.
• The National Planning Policy Framework, by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, paragraph 105 states ‘…planning policies and decisions
should protect and enhance public rights of way and access, including taking opportunities to provide better facilities for users … ‘
• The definitive line of a public right of way constitutes its legal route and may only be amended through a formal legal order, it cannot be amended informally or for convenience. For further details see Recording, changing and closing public rights of way | Worcestershire County Council
• We request that the public right of way is shown in its correct location on any plans accompanying an application, as per DEFRA's Rights of Way circular (1/09) (part 7), in the interests of public safety.
• The working copy of the Definitive Map can be found at Public Rights Of Way | Worcestershire County Council. The Definitive Map is a minimum record of public
rights of way and does not preclude the possibility that unrecorded public rights may exist, nor that higher rights may exist other than those shown.
• The County Council is responsible for maintaining the PROW to a standard suitable for their usual public use as footpath / bridleway – it is not responsible for maintaining a surface to be suitable for private vehicular use. |
