The definitive map and statement
The definitive map and statement are the legal record of public rights of way
The map was last published on 15 December 2007. Since that date we have made an annual Legal Event Order to reflect any changes. There may be public rights of way that are unrecorded and therefore not shown on the map.
The map is only definitive at its published scale of 1:10,000.
The definitive map and statement can only be changed by a legal order:
- Definitive Map Modification Orders (DMMO) - if the definitive map is incomplete or incorrect
- Public Path Orders (PPO) - to change paths for practical purposes
