Public Rights of Way Orders
At Mosodi, we offer expert support for managing Public Rights of Way Orders, helping you navigate the legal processes involved in altering or removing public footpaths, bridleways, or byways. Our team ensures that your project complies with all relevant legal requirements, providing clear guidance through every step of the application and approval process.
Background
Public Rights of Way (PROWs) are legally designated routes the public can use. If your project requires modifying or removing any of these routes, a Public Rights of Way Order must be obtained. This process involves submitting applications, coordinating with local authorities, and managing public consultations. Our team handles all aspects of this procedure, ensuring everything is done according to regulations, addressing any objections, and facilitating smooth project progression.
Experience
We have supported several high-profile projects, including Northfield Meadows in Seamer, where we played a key role in developing and managing a comprehensive PRoW strategy to support the residential development. This involved liaising with local authorities and stakeholders to ensure that access and connectivity were maintained throughout the project.
At Brimmington, Chesterfield, we helped secure the necessary PRoW Orders for a mixed-use development, ensuring that public access was both preserved and enhanced by the proposals, aligning with local and regional transport plans.
A standout project was Cutcare County Park, where we assisted in the creation of an extensive PRoW network covering a 400-hectare country park on the site of a former open-cast mine. The project included a total of approximately 17km of new and enhanced routes, providing both sustainable access and promoting the park’s use for recreational and environmental purposes.
