COLUMN: Taking right route over public access


PUBLIC rights of way exist all over the country, enabling members of the public to access a particular route at any time, writes Amy Clarkson, of Crombie Wilkinson Solicitors in Malton.
Local authorities are required to keep a Definitive Map and Statement, which records the rights of way in their area and if a right of way is included on the Definitive Map, it is conclusive evidence that the right of way exists.
However, merely because a right of way is not included on the Definitive Map does not necessarily mean that the right of way does not exist.
If landowners allow the public to exercise rights of access over their land, they are at risk of that route becoming dedicated as a public right of way and the burden is on the landowner to actively prevent rights of way from being created.
