Rights of Way Circular (1/09) Guidance for Local Authorities Version 2 October 2009 Status: Released
www.defra.gov.uk
A112 (1) HOL/00700/0057
Name: Circular 1/09 Version : 2 Status : Released Page 10 of 66 Date : October 2009
3. Liaising with the public Local Access Forums 3.1 Section 94 of the 2000 Act places a duty on local highway authorities and national park authorities to establish Local Access Forums to advise on public access to land for any lawful purpose and outdoor recreation, including public rights of way and the right of access to open country. London borough councils are not required to establish Local Access Forums but may resolve to do so. 3.2 Membership of Local Access Forums includes users of rights of way and the right of access to open country, landowners and occupiers, together with any other interests especially relevant to the area. Local Access Forums should focus on those issues that are most relevant to their own area, considering issues at the strategic level, taking care to direct advice to the most appropriate recipients and adopting a proactive approach. Authorities must have regard to Forums' views in reaching decisions on access and public rights of way issues. Further information on Local Access Forums is available6 3.3 Natural England has published a handbook for all Local Access Forum members in England. In addition to including guidance about the general practicalities of running a Local Access Forum, it contains key facts and useful information about all aspects of access. Further information is available in the LAF handbook.7 Informing individuals and other groups 3.4 To complement Local Access Forums‟ strategic rôle, authorities may wish to establish, or maintain, liaison groups that, like Local Access Forums, draw together the representatives of all interests in the rights of way network. In those areas where changes to the network are needed to ensure that it is better suited to the needs of users, or to help the efficient use of land for agriculture or protect wildlife, liaison groups can also play a valuable rôle in helping to define proposals and in ensuring that they represent the best possible balance between, and confer the greatest mutual benefit to, all interests. The more detailed scrutiny that liaison groups can give to rights of way proposals is a valuable adjunct to the work of Local Access Forums and many Local Access Forums have sub-groups to perform this type of function. 3.5 Authorities must also notify any person or groups who require them to do so of orders made over a given period proposing to add to or amend the definitive map and statement or to change the network. This requirement may apply to every order made by the authority or orders of a particular description and may relate to the whole or any part of their area. Authorities may make a reasonable charge for doing so. 6 Guidance on Local Access Forums in England : Defra 2007 7 Handbook for LAF members : Natural England 2008

Name: Circular 1/09 Version : 2 Status : Released Page 24 of 66 Date : October 2009
Highways Act 1980: creating, diverting and extinguishing rights of way 5.5 The statutory provisions for creating, diverting and extinguishing public rights of way in the 1980 Act have been framed to protect both the public‟s rights and the interests of owners and occupiers. They also protect the interests of bodies such as statutory undertakers. The requirements for making, confirming and publicising orders are set out in Schedule 6 to the 1980 Act. The provisions also apply to rail crossing orders and special orders. Consents and consultations 5.6 Every other council (county, district, unitary or parish) or national park in whose area the way or proposed way is situated must be consulted before a council makes an order. If a way to be extinguished or diverted lies partly within the area of an adjoining council that authority‟s consent must be obtained. Natural England must be consulted about any way or proposed way which lies within a national park or affects a National Trail (Long Distance Route). 5.7 In addition to the statutory requirements, authorities should consider wider publicity through prescribed organisations (Annex A), other user groups, local access forums, and liaison groups. This approach should help authorities to forestall representations and objections before they make orders, by means of discussion and negotiation with landowners, users and representative organisations. Authorities should have regard to the code of practice on consultation in the Rights of Way Review Committee‟s Practice Guidance Note 118. 5.8 Statutory undertakers should be consulted before an order is made and where necessary their consent obtained. Section 121(4) of the 1980 Act provides that they may refuse to consent to the confirmation of extinguishment and diversion orders. Section 24(2) of the 1980 Act requires the Secretary of State for Transport to give his approval if a proposed right of way is to connect with a trunk road. Where notices are required to be served on owners of land and the land belongs to an ecclesiastical benefice, paragraph 1(4) of schedule 6 to the 1980 Act specifies that notice must also be served on the Church Commissioners. The consent of the appropriate authority as defined in section 327 of the 1980 Act is required in respect of the Act‟s application to Crown land. Protection for agriculture and forestry and other environmental concerns 5.9 In making creation agreements and creation, diversion and extinguishment orders under the 1980 Act, authorities are required under sections 29 and 121(3) of the Act to have due regard to the needs of agriculture and forestry and the desirability of conserving flora, fauna and geological and physiographical features.

7. Planning permission and public rights of way 7.1 Proposals for the development of land affecting public rights of way give rise to two matters of particular concern: the need for adequate consideration of the rights of way before the decision on the planning application is taken and the need, once planning permission has been granted, for the right of way to be kept open and unobstructed until the statutory procedures authorising closure or diversion have been completed. 7.2 The effect of development on a public right of way is a material consideration in the determination of applications for planning permission and local planning authorities should ensure that the potential consequences are taken into account whenever such applications are considered. 7.3 Most outline planning applications do not contain sufficient information to enable the effect on any right of way to be assessed (and are not required to do so) and consequently such matters are usually dealt with during consideration of the matters reserved under the planning permission for subsequent approval. 7.4 The Department for Communities and Local Government has introduced a document The validation of planning applications40 and an associated circular41 2/08 which lays out the information to be supplied and validated with a planning application. The document specifies (in paragraph 40) that all public rights of way crossing or adjoining the proposed development site must be marked on the plan to be submitted with the full planning application. While the information supplied by an applicant should therefore make clear how the potential development will impinge on any rights of way, local planning authorities will need to ensure that all rights of way affected by the development are identified and take into account any applications for the addition of a path or way to the definitive map, any modifications that the highway authority itself may be proposing to make, the possible existence of any other rights on the ways shown on the definitive map and any ways not yet recorded on the definitive map. 7.5 Notwithstanding the existing position described in paragraphs 7.3 and 7.4, it is likely to be to the benefit of the planning authority, highway authority and the developer to be aware of the impact of a development scheme on the local rights of way network as early as possible in the process (this might be at the pre-application stage or the outline planning stage). 7.6 Any potential disadvantages to the public arising from alternative arrangements proposed for an affected right of way can be minimised by means of the early liaison between the developer, planning and highway authorities, local amenity groups, prescribed organisations (Appendix A) and affected individuals.

This course of action will produce an acceptable scheme in many instances and enable the eventual proposals to gain a wide measure of public acceptance. Further, the approach should minimise uncertainty, costs in revising design schemes and delays. The most significant delay risked if the approach is not followed is due to the fact that the highway authority does not have the power to confirm an opposed public path order proposing to revise an affected right of way. An order made to divert or extinguish a right of way, made as the result of the granting of planning permission, that is opposed will have to be submitted to the Secretary of State for a decision on whether or not it should be confirmed and this will impose significant, unavoidable delays to the scheme. 7.7 The early and effective consultation described in paragraph 7.6 should ensure that all matters of concern are raised without delay and dealt with, and if agreement can be reached, any statutory procedures associated with the making and confirmation of the necessary order can be initiated without delay once the details have been approved. 7.8 In considering potential revisions to an existing right of way that are necessary to accommodate the planned development, but which are acceptable to the public, any alternative alignment should avoid the use of estate roads for the purpose wherever possible and preference should be given to the use of made up estate paths through landscaped or open space areas away from vehicular traffic. 7.9 Where the application is for full planning permission, such as mineral extraction, the decision on the application may be preceded by lengthy negotiation and discussion between the developer and the planning authority with the eight week period stipulated in the General Development Order for the determination of planning applications being set aside by mutual consent. If there is a reasonable expectation that planning permission will eventually be forthcoming there is clearly no reason why the proposals for any consequential stopping-up or diversion of public rights of way should not be considered concurrently with, and as part of, discussions on the proposed development rather than await the grant of planning permission. This should include, as far as possible, the preparation in draft of the order, and associated notices, the form of which is prescribed in the Town and Country Planning (Public Path Orders) Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/10). 7.10 The Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) Order 1995 (S.I. 1995/419) provides that development affecting a public right of way must be advertised in a local newspaper and by posting a notice on the site (this is entirely separate from any notices and advertisements required when making and confirming a subsequent extinguishment or diversion order). 7.11 The grant of planning permission does not entitle developers to obstruct a public right of way. It cannot be assumed that because planning permission has been granted that an order under section 247 or 257 of the 1990 Act, for the diversion or extinguishment of the right of way, will invariably be made or confirmed. Development, in so far as it affects a right of way, should not be started and the right of way should be kept open for public use, unless or until the necessary order

has come into effect. The requirement to keep a public right of way open for public use will preclude the developer from using the existing footpath, bridleway or restricted byway as a vehicular access to the site unless there are existing additional private rights. Planning authorities must ensure that applicants whose proposals may affect public rights of way are made aware of the limitations to their entitlement to start work at the time planning permission is granted. Authorities have on occasion granted planning permission on the condition that an order to stop-up or divert a right of way is obtained before the development commences. The view is taken that such a condition is unnecessary in that it duplicates the separate statutory procedure that exists for diverting or stopping-up the right of way, and would require the developer to do something outside his or her control. Procedure in anticipation of planning permission open to the Secretary of State 7.12 Authorities cannot make public path orders in anticipation of the granting of planning permission. Section 253 of the 1990 Act enables the Secretary of State to make and advertise a draft order where an application for planning permission has been made to him by a local authority, statutory undertaker, or a national park authority; or the application stands referred to him in pursuance of a direction under section 77, or the applicant has appealed under section 78 against a refusal of planning permission or of approval required under a development order, or against a condition of such permission or approval. 7.13 Similar procedures also exist under regulation 15 of the Town and Country Planning General Regulations 1992 (SI 1992/1492) to enable the Secretary of State to publish notice of an order under section 251, extinguishing a public right of way over land held for planning purposes, concurrently with the acquisition of the land either by compulsory purchase order (section 226) or agreement (section 227). Once the land over which the right of way subsists has been acquired the Secretary of State may also make a compulsory purchase order under section 254 to acquire land to provide an alternative right of way. The making of an order 7.14 Section 257 of the 1990 Act gives local planning authorities the power to make orders to extinguish or divert footpaths, bridleways or restricted byways where it is necessary to enable development for which planning permission has been granted or development by a government department to be carried out. Authorities have no power to make orders for extinguishing or diverting highways carrying rights for motorised vehicles in order to enable development to be carried out. Orders are made by the authority that granted the planning permission or, where permission was granted by the Secretary of State (including a permission contained in a special or general development order, or under an order designating an enterprise zone) or development by a government department, by the authority which in normal circumstances would have granted the planning permission. Note that in Greater London there are detailed variations to the authority to make, confirm and charge for orders under the 1990 Act and its associated regulations.

7.15 The local planning authority should not question the merits of planning permission when considering whether to make or confirm an order, but nor should they make an order purely on the grounds that planning permission has been granted. That planning permission has been granted does not mean that the public right of way will therefore automatically be diverted or stopped up. Having granted planning permission for a development affecting a right of way however, an authority must have good reasons to justify a decision either not to make or not to confirm an order. The disadvantages or loss likely to arise as a result of the stopping up or diversion of the way to members of the public generally or to persons whose properties adjoin or are near the existing highway should be weighed against the advantages of the proposed order. 7.16 Where the length of way to be stopped up or diverted straddles two planning authority areas, the order must be made jointly by both authorities unless one authority discharges the functions of the other by means of an agreement under section 101 of the Local Government Act 1972. 7.17 The procedure for diversion or extinguishment of rights of way made under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 follows that described in chapter 5 of this document for Public Path Orders made under the 1980 Act. The relevant regulations are the Town and Country Planning (Public Path Orders) Regulations 1993 (S.I. 1993/10). Alternative highways 7.18 The 1990 Act enables orders to include provision for the creation of an alternative highway, or the improvement of an existing one, for use as a replacement for one being stopped up or diverted. While a diversion must either commence or terminate at some point on the line of the original way, an alternative way need not do so and may, for instance, run parallel to the way being stopped up. However, to avoid the creation of a cul-de-sac and to enable the public, where appropriate, to return to that part of the original way not affected by the development, any alternative way provided should link by means of other highways to the original way. 7.19 When the diversion or alternative right of way is proposed to be provided and dedicated over land not owned by the developer, the consent of the landowner(s) to the proposed dedication must be obtained before the order is made. 7.20 In making a diversion order under section 257 of the 1990 Act the authority should give consideration to any necessary works that will be required to bring an alternative way in to a fit condition for public use. Where necessary the order, as specified by Schedule 1 of the Town and Country Planning (Public Path Orders) Regulations 1993 should state within its paragraph 3 that the diversion will not have effect until the authority certifies that the requirements defined in its paragraph 2 have been complied with. Note that certification achieved by completion of works must be advertised to the public in a local newspaper.

Where development is complete 7.21 Where the development, in so far as it affects a right of way, is completed before the necessary order to divert or extinguish the right of way has been made or confirmed, the powers under sections 257 and 259 of the 1990 Act to make and confirm orders that are no longer available since the development, which the order is intended to enable, has already been carried out. If such a development has already been completed there is no basis for an order to be made. It is, of course, open to the local authority to consider what action, if any, it might take to secure the diversion or extinguishment of the right of way by the exercise of such other powers as may be available. In this respect development should be regarded as completed if the work remaining to be carried out is minimal. Extinguishment of public rights of way over land held for planning purposes 7.22 Section 258 of the 1990 Act enables an authority to make an order extinguishing a footpath, bridleway or restricted byway over land held for planning purposes if they are satisfied that an alternative right of way has been or will be provided or that an alternative is not required. The procedure for the making and confirmation of orders under section 258 is the same as that for orders under section 257. Similar powers are also available to the Secretary of State under section 251. Consents and consultations 7.23 Orders made under section 257 of the 1990 Act which affect apparatus belonging to statutory undertakers cannot be confirmed without their consent. 7.24 If the proposed new highway connects with a trunk road the approval of the Secretary of State for Transport is necessary under section 24(2) of the 1980 Act. Planning permission for the construction or improvement of highways 7.25 Where planning permission is granted for constructing or improving a highway and another highway crosses or enters the route of the highway or is or will be affected by such development, powers are available under section 248 of the 1990 Act to enable the Secretary of State to stop-up or divert such other highways where this is considered expedient in the interests of safety or to facilitate the movement of traffic on the highway. In addition, powers to make side road orders are available under section 14 of the 1980 Act in respect of trunk or classified roads (not being special roads). It is not appropriate to use sections 247 or 257 of the 1990 Act to stop-up or divert ways for these purposes.

Surface workings for minerals 7.26 Section 261(2) of the 1990 Act enables authorities to extinguish or divert footpaths, bridleways or restricted byways temporarily to enable the surface working of minerals to take place. Charges for making orders
7.27 The entitlement to charge applicants for orders made under sections 257 and 261(2) of the 1990 Act is the same as is provided for orders made under the 1980 Act, described in paragraph 5.34. 7.28 Further information on the impact of planning on rights of way is available from the Rights of Way Review Committee Guidance Note no642
