Reasons for Decisions:
The available evidence shows, on balance, that the claimed
right of way is reasonably alleged to subsist;
There is a conflict in evidence. The
publication of the Order will provide a further opportunity for additional
evidence to be submitted and considered against the legal test for
confirmation;
If the evidence shows, on balance, that the
route should be recorded as a footpath, and there are no outstanding
objections, the Council can itself confirm the Order without submission to the
Planning Inspectorate.

the network of public rights of way comply with the legal requirements.
