| The applicant is required to observe the following obligations:
If vehicular access to the site is via the public right of way, it should be noted that under section 34 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, any person who, without lawful authority, drives a motor vehicle on a public right of way commits an offence. The applicant should make themselves satisfied that they, and anyone else who may use public rights of way for private vehicular access in connection with the development, has a right to do so. They may wish to seek legal advice on the matter. The County Council is responsible for maintaining rights of way to a
standard suitable for their usual public use.
No disturbance of, or change to, the surface of the path or part thereof should be carried out without our written consent.
No diminution in the width of the right of way available for use by the public.
Building materials must not be stored on the right of way.
Vehicle movements and parking to be arranged so vehicles do not unreasonably interfere with the public’s use of the right of way.
No additional barriers are placed across the right of way. No stile, gate, fence or other structure should be created on, or across, a public right of way without written consent of the Highway Authority.
The safety of the public using the right of way is to be ensured at all times.
The applicant should note the National Planning Policy Framework, last updated 5th September 2023 by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, particularly paragraph 100, ‘…planning policies and decisions should protect and enhance public rights of way and access, including taking opportunities to provide better facilities for users, for example by adding links to existing rights of way
networks including National Trails’.
The developer should also be aware of the Department of Environment Circular 1/09 (part 7) which explains that the effect of development on a public right of way is a material consideration in the determination of applications for planning permission and that the grant of planning consent does not entitle developers to obstruct a public right of way.
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 than those shown. |
