1.1 Application for a Public Path Diversion Order, Restricted Byway No. 6 in the Community of Llantilio Pertholey Eifion Jones

Applicants: Olwen Hughes, Pentre Farm, Llanddewi Skirrid, , NP7 8AW & Swansford Solutions Ltd., 6 Agincourt Street, Monmouth, Monmouthshire NP25 3DZ Location: Pentre Farm, Llanddewi Skirrid Grid Ref: SO34051770 Map No: SO31NW Community: Llantilio Pertholey

Summary of the definitive route: the restricted byway commences from a point approximately 95 metres to the south south west of Pentre Farm (dwelling house) and proceeds in a generally north easterly direction along the tarmaced road leading to Pentre Farm and into the yard. It crosses the yard and passes to the eastern side of the dwelling house and proceeds along a track, turning to an east by south direction, then through a field gate and up a grass slope through a young tree plantation to a field gate in the boundary of Pentre Farm. Total length approximately 305 metres. The total length of the route in use by the public includes a section of (gated) metalled public road (not shown on the Definitive Map), extending south from the beginning of the restricted byway, is approximately 615 metres.

Summary of the proposed route: the proposed route commences from a point on a public road (opposite the starting point of restricted byway no. 5) approximately 300 metres south by east of Pentre Farm (dwelling house) and proceeds in a north north easterly direction through a field gate and onto an unsurfaced track. The route follows the track in an easterly direction, up a slope through a young tree plantation then in a north north easterly then north north westerly direction passing between the edge of the plantation (fenced) and the boundary hedge to a field gate in the boundary of Pentre Farm. Total length approximately 430 metres.

Details of application

The application has been submitted under section 119 of the Highways Act 1980 in the interests of the landowner. A map showing the proposal is shown at Annex 2. The reason put forward by the applicants for the diversion is:

“security for occupants and autistic son”

ENCLOSURE 5

As can be seen from the summary of the definitive route above, the restricted byway shares the road that provides private vehicular access to Pentre Farm (which is no longer a working farm) and passes through the yard of Pentre Farm. The restricted byway is located adjacent to several out buildings and passes within 5 metres of the dwelling house.

Details of legislation

Section 119 of the Highways Act 1980 states that an authority may make an order where it appears to be expedient to divert a path in the interests of the owner, lessee or occupier of land crossed by the path or of the public.

A public path diversion order shall not alter a point of termination of the path if that point is not on a highway, or, where it is on a highway otherwise than to another point which is on the same highway, or a highway connected with it, and which is substantially as convenient to the public.

Before an authority confirms an order they must be satisfied that the diversion to be effected by it is expedient as stated above and further that the path will not be substantially less convenient to the public in consequence of the diversion and that it is expedient to confirm the order having regard to the effect which the diversion would have on public enjoyment of the path as a whole.

Previous application

Members should be aware that a previous application was made to divert this right of way in 1998 by Mr Luke and Ms Hughes of Pentre Farm. At that time the route was a Cart Road Bridleway and the application was made to Monmouthshire County Council under section 117 of the Highways Act 1980. The County Council subsequently made an application to Abergavenny Magistrates’ Court for an order under section 116 of the Highways Act 1980 to divert the route. That application failed. No transcript of the Magistrates’ decision is available and the only information available as to why the application was refused is that the proposal contained in the application presented a “significant detraction from public enjoyment”.

The detraction resulted from the fields in question being extremely wet and would be badly poached by horses; the woodland planted by the occupants of Pentre Farm would obscure the fine views of the Skirrid, the Blorenge and southern Monmouthshire; the existing route was attractive and on firm ground and could be walked in stout shoes even in wet weather.

ENCLOSURE 5

Member will note that many of the consultation replies make reference to this previous application.

Restricted byway status

By virtue of the section 47 of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 the Cart Road Bridleway became a Restricted Byway in November 2006. That legislation brought all restricted byways within the bounds of section 119 of the Highways Act 1980. This meant that applications for diversions of restricted byways could be dealt with via a local authority order rather than a magistrates’ court order. The application now submitted to the National Park Authority is identical to that submitted in 1998 save for a change in the applicants’ details. The application has been resurrected by taking advantage of the change in status and the resulting new procedure.

Consultation Responses

Monmouthshire County Council (Public Rights of Way Officer) – no reply Monmouthshire County Council (Traffic and Development Section) – no reply Llantilio Pertholey Community Council – “Refuse. Route proposed inappropriate for walkers and horses, due to gradient and boggy conditions”.

County Councillor – no reply Countryside Council for – no reply

Ramblers Association – “...object to the above application...In 1999 the occupants of Pentre Farm...made an application to Monmoushire County Council to divert CRB6. This application was considered at Abergavenny Magistrates Court...and was rejected on the grounds that there would be a ‘significant detraction from public enjoyment’. Grounds for rejection were that, the fields in question were extremely wet and they would be badly poached by horses; the woodland planted by the occupants of Pentre Farm would obscure the fine views of the Skirrid, the Blorenge and southern Monmouthshire; the existing route was attractive and on firm ground and could be walked in stout shoes even in wet weather.”

Open Spaces Society – “I made a site visit starting at point C up the slope, although a relatively dry period, there was evidence of slight equestrian use which had greatly poached the wet surface despite such limited use. Further along the more flat section towards point B, the ground was waterlogged, also undergrowth on the surface restricting the width to approx 12 inches, with deep poaching by horses hoofs, obviously such a surface if regulary used ENCLOSURE 5 by equestrians, driving (wheeled vehicles) and mountain bikers, would become a quagmire for all classes of users...there now subsists a planted wood/plantation adjacent (to) the diversion, this has ramifications for the diversion in that each year the trees will grow ever higher, not only losing the feeling of openness and views to the users, but the very important loss of sunshine and wind will not readily reach the surface of the diversion, therefore as the trees grow, the diverted way will become less and less dry...There is (sic) also the ramifications...being in effect a field edge diversion, the duty to keep the surface free of obstruction/undergrowth would pass from the landowner to the highway authority...I invariably find, such fenced in ways become unusable because of such vegetation, particularly in high summer or wet growing conditions...Finally, it is not a typical diversion but a much longer inferior muddy and poached track compared to the existing, which is largely excellent sealed/hard surface which can be used in the 4 seasons, unlike the proposed diversion. This...was recognised and found wanting by the previous magistates’ decisions, I too would make a formal objection to such an order...”

The Brecon Beacons Park Society – ‘The Brecon Beacons Park Society oppose this application. This application was rejected by Abergavenny Magistrate Court in 2000 on the grounds that there would be ‘significant detraction from public enjoyment’. Grounds for rejection were that, the fields in question were extremely wet and they would be badly poached by horses; the woodland planted by the occupants of Pentre Farm would obscure the fine views of the Skirrid, the Blorenge and southern Monmouthshire; the existing route was attractive and on firm ground and could be walked in stout shoes even in wet weather. The grounds for rejection remain. The diversion is extremely muddy from use by horses. Privacy and security do not constitute grounds for a diversion...Also note that if this diversion is approved then the road marked A-C on the plan will effectively become a private drive to Pentre Farm maintained at public expense”.

(Former) Eastern Area Local Access Forum – Comment 1 (Chairman): “...physical conditions on the ground render the diversion route less suitable that it appears on paper...Hoof marks indicate that the grassy strip has recently been used by a few ridden horses...they have already had the effect of cutting up the soft red soil beneath the grass, making it muddy and difficult to walk on in places. If the route were to be used heavily by horse riders, I ENCLOSURE 5 fear that the ground would soon become cut up, and difficult for walkers to use...If, after due deliberation, the Committee decide to make an order, certain accommodation works will be necessary...I would suggest hardcore along B-C...”

(Former) Eastern Area Local Access Forum – Comment 2 (Member): “...no objection to the diversion. I found the diverion at Pentre Farm difficult to walk as it has been used by horse riders, I suggest that the horse riders hardcore it...”

(Former) Eastern Area Local Access Forum – Comment 3 (Member): “I wish to record my objection to the prosed diversion of RB6 at Pentre farm. The new path will be substantially less convenient to the public. It is clearly wholly in the interests of the owners and no consideration has been given to the suitability of the alternative route for those members of the public who have a right to use it. Pentre Farm is no longer a working farm. The existing route, from the south, follows Pentre Lane, which has a sealed surface, to the buildings; the lane is quiet and attractive with a bank and woodland on the right, hedge and fields on the left and fine views of the Skirrid. The route then passes the old barns and across what was the farmyard now used for parking cars, through the new garden, over a bridge and up a field with woodland planted on both sides. This was an old farm track, which was roughly stoned for drainage and therefore remains reasonably dry; it was popular with local people as it has a firm surface and could be walked in stout shoes. This route was sufficiently popular that in 1999 forty-three local residents petitioned the Llantilio Pertholey Community Council to object (to) the proposed diversion. The objections raised eight years ago were that the fields are known to be muddy especially the steep field above C. If horses are ridden over this route the ground will become badly poached. A Monmouthshire County Council Assistant Engineer identified the fields in question as having a wet subsoil. In addition, the woodlands, planted by the owners will obstruct the view and remove the sense of openness. I recently walked the diversion and noted that the surface has been badly cut-up by horses to the extent that walking is not pleasant; there is evidence on the ground of horses slipping and of deep, wet, hoof marks. Although the woodland has not yet obstructed the views of the Skirrid, the Blorenge and Monmouthshire, it will do so fairly soon. For these reasons the proposed diverision is less attractive than the current route which is open and provides good views. This route is not appropriate as a local walk, stout shoes will be inadequate and it will be difficult for the less able. I am concerned that the field above C is too steep and too muddy for carriages and also that two right-angle turns are too tight. I am also concerned that the effect of this diversion would be to make the remaining length of Pentre Lane into a de facto private drive maintained at public ENCLOSURE 5 expense...There is no doubt that the alternative path is substantially less convenient to the public and that it will have a detrimental effect on public enjoyment of the path as a whole, the proposal therefore fails the tests set out in section 119...In March 2000 Abergavenny Magistrates rejected the application for the diversion as a ‘significant detraction from public enjoyment’. Eight years later we are being asked to support an identical diversion where the same objections still apply. I ask that the Brecon Beacons National Park reject this application, as it is not in the public interest.”

Statutory Undertakers – no objections

Other Responses (not formally consulted)

Llanddewi Skirrid Village Hall – “...request the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority to disallow this renewed application as the proposed diversion is considered to be very unsuitable”

Llanddewi House, Llanddewi Skirrid – “...ask that the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority disallow the present application. The main reason for saying this is that the proposed diversion gets extremely wet, and very badly poached by horses etc. The existing route is satisfactorily passable in all weathers. One other point is that the proposed diversion is very steep in places and one would have great difficulty in getting a horse-drawn vehicle up or down it especially if it was at all wet. The right of way passes in front of Pentre Farmhouse, but before the current landowners landscaped the yard, there always used to be a small front garden with a fence/hedge across which went a short path from the front door to a small gate and a few steps down onto the yard. This provided perfectly adequate privacy for the house. Also the previous owners of the Pentre Farm, who we knew quite well, had a large garden to the rear of the house. This garden was very child friendly and consisted largish lawn, grassy banks with fruit trees, herbaceous borders, all amounting to probably a good half acre, and to the rear of this was a large and very productive vegetable garden. Even if the present occupants of Pentre Farm include an autistic child I cannot see that any privacy or security would be compromised by having a public right of way passing by, and in fact I have been told by farming friends that to have the occasional person passing can be of some advantage by reporting animals in trouble etc.”

Ramblers Association (South Group) – “I wish to make an objection to the above proposal...The present easily walked route of RB6 has been enjoyed by many walkers for many years both for recreational activities, having fine views over the local countryside, and as a means of accessing the church and private properties. The diversion, if carried out, would not be so ENCLOSURE 5 easy to traverse as the nature of the ground is quite different, having muddy, steep inclines, and very restricted views when the woodland is more mature. Recent codes of practice recommend that easily accessible routes be eveloped by local authorities in the countryside to encourage more people to walk in the interests of healthy living, this diversion would fly in the face of such initiatives.”

Trewen, Llanddewi Skirrid – “I am writing to oppose the proposed diversion of RB6 at Pentre Farm, Llanddewi Skirrid. The main reason for my opposition is the muddiness of the fields which are crossed in the proposed diversion. They are unbelievably muddy, and are also extremely slippery, particularly around the gate between the fields; the mud is ankle-deep, dismissing any possibility of walking the route without wellington boots. Anyone who attempts to walk the diversion in normal boots, even in fine weather, would curse the amount of mud glued to their footwear.”

Old Church Road, Gilwern – “The proposed diversion is being badly poached by the horses using it and in places there are large slide marks where they have had some difficulty. This is happening during a relatively dry period of weather and I guess during very wet times the track would become extremely nasty for both horses and for people on foot. The horses are also walking on the same line each day and starting to form trenches in the ground, which all add to the problem of keeping ones footing. I know that the local people use the right of way as a pleasant form of exercise and unless they have walking boots it will be difficult for them after wet weather. There is also a certain amount of vegetation causing slight obstruction for walkers, which during summer may be a bigger inconvenience. The proped diversion is in a youngish plantation and before very long the good views of the Skirrid and the fine aspect will no longer be visible when the trees are in full leaf. One of the pleasures of walking in the countryside is the view. I do not think that the proposed route is fit for purpose and bears no comparison to the present public right of way. I also believe that the people at Pentre Farm had an application for the same diversion refused a number of years ago, and I can see no reason for its acceptance this time.”

Walterstone – “I...was surprised, dismayed to learn that the very unsuitable diversion proposed and turned down a few years ago has been put forward again. Horses, vegetation, make the surface dangerous and difficult for walkers as the route goes through a plantation, it will not be long before the fine views of the Skirrid will be obscured. I therefore object to the proposed diversion.”

ENCLOSURE 5

Gwehelog, Usk – “...All my life I have been farming and from the age of dot I have ridden horses and knowing what that land was like and how wet it stood back in 1999 there is no way I would abuse any horse on that diversion. The trees by now must be some 15/20 foot high and growing huge canopies, this will undoubtedly keep the ground very wet therefore the surface will never be a good surface for any horse or walker for that matter. The proposed diversion will never come up to the standard of the original byway and with all the tree planting there will be no views, it will be dark, dirty and wet twelve months of the year.”

Heol yr Eglwys, Talywaun – “I am writing to you to object to the above application. In March 2000 Abergavenny Magistrates rejected an application for an identical diversion calling it a ‘significant detraction from public enjoyment’, and this application represents no change in the situation. The proposed footpath change would be substantially less convenient for the public user. RB6 is currently a popular walk with fine views ansd is well used by local people. The existing path at Pentre Farm is fairly dry yet the proposed route is currently really muddy and impassable. In the original (March 2000) upheld objection the Magistrates agreed that fields crossed by the proposed alternative route were very wet and would become muddy and badly poached by horses and that woodland planted by the owners would in time obstruct views of the Skirrid.”

Stanhope Street, Abergavenny – “...This application was refused at Magistrates court as it was felt that the new route ran through a wet and steep field that was (and still is) heavily poached by horses and was less commodious that the existing route that is a better all weather route. The views offered by the proposed route were not as pleasant as those experienced on the existing line and it was felt that once the woodland matured it would enclose and confine the proposed line. As this diversion of the route has already been rejected by Abergavenny Magistrates, I feel that Brecon Beacons National Park should refuse to make an order to divert the route for the reasons listed above.”

Discussion

The effect of the proposal would be to move the restricted byway from one side of the Pentre Farm holding to the other. As was stated at the beginning of this report, the present route of the restricted byway shares the tarmaced road that provides private vehicular access to Pentre Farm and passes through the yard. It is located adjacent to several out buildings and passes within 5 metres of the dwelling house.

ENCLOSURE 5

The remainder of the route follows a grass track until it reaches the boundary of Pentre Farm. It is on average approximately 3 metres in width.

The proposed route is currently in place and follows roughly parallel with the boundary of Pentre Farm and passes through a plantation of deciduous trees. It is fenced or hedged on one or both sides and varies between approximately 3.1 and 5.5 metres in width. It is currently an earth track with some vegetation cover.

The diversion has been in place for several years and some members of the public are using it. It is clear that some horseriders are using the route as the evidence of this use is clearly manisfested in the condition of the surface.

There is no doubt that, if successful, this application will provide more privacy and security for the owners of Pentre Farm by excluding members of the public from the yard area.

On that basis, it is considered expedient to divert the restricted byway as doing so will be in the interests of the owners of the land that it crosses. The legislation does not explicitly state that privacy and security are grounds for a diversion, but these are clearly issues that are of importance to the landowners.

However, consideration must also be given to the effect on the public.

Firstly, section 119 of the Highways Act 1980 states that a public path diversion order shall not alter a point of termination of the path if that point is not on a highway, or, where it is on a highway otherwise than to another point which is on the same highway, or a highway connected with it, and which is substantially as convenient to the public.

The application has the effect of altering the point of termination of the restricted byway to another point on the same highway. In effect, this moves the termination point approximately 250 metres further south and shortens the whole route in use by the public by approximately 185 metres. It is considered that this, in itself, is substantially as convenient to the public. However, several of the respondents have made reference to the fact that this will turn the public road that connects with the restricted byway into a cul-de-sac of approximately 310 metres in length. Whilst the public will still have a right to use this section of road (by all forms of traffic) there would appear to be little purpose in doing so as they will be forced to return by the same route. As one of the respondents has pointed out, the road will be used exclusively by the owners of Pentre Farm whilst being maintained at the ENCLOSURE 5

public expense. Presently, the road is effectively a cul-de-sac to the public as far as driving mechanically propelled vehicles are concerned in any case as members of the public cannot drive such vehicles on a restricted byway1. They must therefore return by the same route. Arguably, the road is already being maintained in the way described by the respondent as its use by the public is largely on foot.

Cul-de-sacs of this type are not uncommon in rural areas as private roads to farms were adopted by county councils in the 1950 and 1960 for reasons of agricultural expediency. Whilst there may be, on the face of it, a difficulty in principle in creating a cul-de sac in this way, legally there would not appear to be any hindrance in doing so. The diverted route of the restricted byway will protect the public right of way through the provision of a new through route so there is no loss, as such, to the public through the creation of a cul-de-sac.

The future maintenance of the road is, essentially, a matter for the highway authority although it is not considered that maintaining this section of road is particularly onerous. However, the highway authority has the option of stopping up the road and returning its ownership to the adjacent landowner should it be minded to exercise those powers that are available to it.

Secondly, before the Authority confirms an order it must be satisfied that the diversion to be effected by it is expedient (in the interests of the landowner) and further that the path will not be substantially less convenient to the public in consequence of the diversion and that it is expedient to confirm the order having regard to the effect which the diversion would have on public enjoyment of the path as a whole.

The application for a diversion has been submitted on the basis that the diversion route is “extremely pleasant and in good order”2 and that no works are required to it. Officers have viewed the proposed route during and following wet weather and consider that it is less convenient to the public and that a substantial amount of work is required to it before it can be considered to be on a par with the original route. The route is multi-user and will potentially be used by pedestrians, horseriders, cyclists and carriage drivers. A very sound surface is required if such a route is to be sustainable. The current route is effectively part of a field and does not benefit from any form of constructed surface or artificial drainage. It is heavily poached in some areas and also suffers from localised ponding and has areas of deep mud. This is especially prevalent during and following periods of heavy rain. If

1 due to the effect of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 and the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 2 quote taken from the applicants’ covering letter ENCLOSURE 5

members are minded to approve the application it is considered that any order made is conditional upon the schedule of works at Annex 3 and its map at Annex 4 be completed to the satisfaction of the Chief Executive. Only upon the satisfactory completion of these works will it be considered that the proposed diversion meets the legal requirements3. The applicant has been advised that planning consent may be required for these works.

Finally, regard must be given to the effect of the diversion on public enjoyment of the path as a whole. Clearly, the surface and condition of the proposed route will account for a substantial part of this consideration. Those matters are dealt with above. The other matters that warrant consideration are those more subjective matters that make a route enjoyable. In this particular case, those matters are considered to be the views (both near and distant) and the general ambiance or atmosphere that the route provides. Restricted byway no. 6 passes through an area that is largely maturing woodland. Save for the residential curtilege, most of the route is surrounded, to varying degrees, by woodland. The woodland, comprising predominantly of oak and beech, is young, being planted in the last 10 years or so. The average height of the oak and beech saplings is presently between approximately 3 and 5 metres. Some other species, although significantly less prevalent, are considerably taller. The woodland has been planted fairly densely and the Pentre Farm holding is populated by many thousands of maturing trees.

Some of the objectors have made reference to the fact that the diversion will result in the curtailment of the views available in the area particularly of the Skirrid, the Blorenge and southern Monmouthshire.

Officers have undertaken a photographic survey of the views from the public road (south of Pentre Farm), from restricted byway no. 6, and from the proposed diversion. These photographs will be shown to members when this report is discussed (and referred to via Annex 5). The finest view of the Skirrid is available from restricted byway no. 6 in the field (part of the route not affected by the application) to the west of Wern y cwm4. Only from this point is there considered to be a completely unobstructed view of the whole of the Skirrid ridge. Views of the Skirrid from both the proposed diversion and restricted byway no. 6 (to be diverted) are compromised by the maturing woodland especially in the spring and summer months. Fine views are available in the autumn and winter but the views will become more obstructed as the woodland matures. It is highly likely that within the next decade the views will have declined significantly.

3 that the path “will not be substantially less convenient to the public” 4 approximately 300 metres east of Pentre Farm ENCLOSURE 5

A fine lower level view of the Skirrid is available from the public road to the south of Pentre Farm. However, this view is somewhat compromised by the existence of a hedgerow.

More distant views of the Blorenge and southern Monmouthshire generally are more difficult to attain. Distant views, inevitably, are compromised by trees and hedgerows. Again, the finest view of southern Monmouthshire is available from the public road to the south of Pentre Farm. And, the finest views of the Blorenge from one point on restricted byway no. 6 and from two points on the proposed diversion. However, all three of these latter locations will be affected by the maturing woodland and the views will eventually be significantly curtailed or obscured.

Conclusion

In light of the effect that the maturing woodland is likely to have on both the original route of restricted byway no. 6 and its proposed diversion it is not considered that the proposed diversion will impact significantly on the public enjoyment of the path as a whole. If the proposed diversion is accommodated in the way discussed previously and is maintained appropriately, there is no reason why the diversion cannot provide the public with a route that is as enjoyable as the original.

On that basis, it is recommended that the application be approved. Given the extensive nature of the works that are required to accommodate the proposed diversion, it is likely that planning consent will be required for them. If consent is required, it is considered that there is no purpose in the Authority making an order before that consent is granted. Otherwise, the Authority may be faced with significant abortive costs if consent is refused, as it will not be able to proceed with the order and will not, therefore, be able to recover the costs expended up to that point from the applicant. It is therefore recommended that an order be made subject to planning consent for the works being sought and granted first.

Standard matters for consideration a) Financial, Staffing and Improvement Implications: all costs associated with the application will be bourn by the applicant. The application will be processed utilising the existing staff resource. If an order is made and opposed, there will be significant staff time employed in preparing and presenting a case to the Planning Inspectorate (possibly at a public inquiry). Any associated costs in those circumstances will fall on the ENCLOSURE 5

Authority not the applicant. There is likely to be a higher maintenance liability on the Authority in future if any order made is confirmed and the proposed route constructed as recommended. b) Equality Issues: None c) Sustainability Appraisal: N/A d) Human Rights: None e) Biodiversity Implications: None f) Contribution towards mitigating and adapting to the effects of climate change: None g) Background Papers: PAR804/408/D/6 h) Corporate Objective(s): 7
