Public rights of way

Notices of changes to definitive maps, definitive map modifications, landowner deposits and orders with the secretary of state.

  • Public rights of way are recorded in the Definitive Map and Statement (see below).
  • We must keep this up to date by means of legal orders known as Definitive Map Modifications.
  • A public notice must be advertised when certain orders to modify the Definitive Map are made.
  • You are able to make an objection if you do not agree with the order.  Details of how to do this are contained within the notice.
  • If objections are received and not withdrawn, they will be sent to the Secretary of State to be dealt with by written representations, public hearing, or public inquiry.

Please contact us for more information.
