Public rights of way modification orders

Definitive map and statement of public rights of way

The definitive map is the legal record of public rights of way. It is accompanied by the definitive statement which contains specific information about a route such as its position or width. The definitive map and statement are available for public inspection at our civic office at Shute End or at the Countryside office at Dinton Pastures Country Park. An extract of the Definitive Map Statement, can be requested for a fee of £136.40.

Register of definitive map modification orders

The register is designed to increase knowledge among landowners, users of rights of way and the general public about applications which could result or have resulted in changes to to the definitive map and / or statement. The register will also avoid duplication where an application has already been made.
