Definitive Map Review
Parish of Sydenham Damerel
CONSULTATION SCHEDULE
The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 requires the County Council to keep the Definitive Map of public rights of way under continuous review, and to make modifications where it appears that routes should be added, re-graded or deleted. The Definitive Map Review of Public Rights of Way is currently being undertaken in the Parish of Sydenham Damerel.
Your views and any relevant evidence are sought on the following suggestion for modifying the Definitive Map for Sydenham Damerel:
Route 1: Schedule 14 application to add a byway open to all traffic between Radaford and the B3362, near Wonwood.
Grid ref: SX 4316 7756 to SX 4294 7763
The Definitive Map is the legal record of public rights of way. There are four categories:
- Footpath - a highway over which the public have a right of way on foot only.
- Bridleway - a highway over which the public have a right of way on foot, horseback, leading a horse or on a bicycle.
- Restricted byway – a highway over which the public have a right of way on foot, horseback, leading a horse, or with a non-mechanically propelled vehicle.
- Byway open to all traffic - a highway over which the public have a right of way with all traffic but which is mainly used as a footpath or bridleway.
Maps showing the existing public rights of way, and suggestions to modify the Definitive Map, are available for inspection by appointment with the Clerk to the Parish Council and at the West Devon Borough Council, Kilworthy Park, Tavistock, and during office hours at the Public Rights of Way Service, Lucombe House, County Hall, Exeter, 01392 383026.
Anyone who has any additional suggestions to make by adding or upgrading routes, or further evidence for or against the above suggestion, should write to the following address by Friday 9th October 2009:
