Changes to the Definitive Map and Statement

Public rights of way are highways that are protected by law, which are recorded on the Definitive Map and Statement.

Changes to the Definitive Map and Statement can only be made by a legal order.

Types of order

These include:

Public Path Orders (PPO)

For example:

Diversion under section 119 of the Highways Act 1980, where the order is in the interest of the landowner or the public.
Diversion under section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, to allow for development to take place. This would normally be used where a planning permission has been granted which would require a change to the public right of way.

Definitive Map Modification Orders (DMMO)

Definitive Map Modification orders under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 may add, delete, upgrade or downgrade a right of way, or may vary the particulars of the record.
