1.0 PURPOSE OF REPORT

1.1 To consider making a Public Path Extinguishment Order in relation to two sections of a non – definitive route known as the Old Coach Road, together with an adjoining section of undefined bridleway, located within the parish areas of Parlington and Garforth.

1.2 To consider making a further Public Path Extinguishment Order in relation to two other sections of a non - definitive public path between Aberford Road and Parlington Lane, located within the parish of Parlington.

1.3 To seek authority for the Council to enter into concurrent Public Path Creation Agreements with relevant landowners to create a number of public bridleways and footpaths located within the Aberford, Barwick, Garforth and Parlington areas of .

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 In the late 1980’s the City Council was required to respond to a Notice, served under Section 56 of the Highways Act 1980, which affected various non - definitive routes within the vicinity of the Parlington Estate. This made it necessary for Council Officers to carry out historical research concerning the alleged public status of these routes. Currently a number of public paths are recorded on the Definitive Map ( the legal record of public rights of way ) in the vicinity of Parlington Estate. For clarification of the current position, a reduced A4 extract of the Definitive Map working copy, sheets SE 43 NW/SW, is attached as Plan 1 at Appendix A.

2.2 The evidence discovered suggests the likely existence of two adjoining highways to the status of Public Bridleway, in the Parlington and Garforth areas. The majority of the extent of the ways in question lie within the Parlington Estate and the evidence concerns, in particular, a route known as ‘The Old Coach Road’ and an adjoining undefined route to it’s west. The existing lines of Old Coach Road are shown on Plans 2, 3 and 4, Appendix A and the undefined route is shown between Points K and L on Plan 3.

2.3 The Old Coach Road lies to the east of Barwick Road, Garforth and links between this road and Parlington Lane (Public Bridleway Parlington No.2). Currently Public Footpaths Garforth No.s 7a, 7(part) and 8(part) subsist on the same route as the Old Coach Road, where it subsists to the south of the new . The route of the undefined bridleway lies to the north of the new M1 across a ploughed field located to the west of the Old Coach Road. This bridleway formerly linked to Barwick Road.

2.4 In addition, an adjacent footpath known as ‘The Flyline‘, which lies to the east of the Old Coach Road and connects between Parlington Lane and Public Bridleway Garforth No. 10, is affected by the proposals as set out in Section 3.0. The Flyline was subject to a court hearing in 1987/88, relating to it’s claimed public status. This led to it’s acceptance as a public footpath by the Parlington Estate, who own the majority of the land over which the Flyline subsists. Currently the Flyline carries Public Footpaths Parlington No. 9 and Sturton Grange No. 6, as shown on Plan 1, Appendix A.

2.5 In this connection when the A1/M1 motorway link road was later constructed appropriate crossing facilities were provided in order to accommodate both the Old Coach Road and The Flyline, although at the time neither route was recorded on the definitive records. Additionally a short section of new public bridleway was constructed at either side of the new motorway by the Highways Agency to accommodate the Old Coach Road. These features link to a connecting subway beneath the motorway. This new bridleway was created by the Side Roads Order for the new motorway and it’s approximate location is shown on Plan 1 and also between Points D and E on Plans 2 and 3 of Appendix A.

2.6 The construction of the new motorway has consequently necessitated the need to clarify the location and legal status of a number of key routes. This has in turn led to negotiations occurring with the Parlington Estate, together with the affected neighbouring landowners, who have all indicated a willingness to dedicate various public paths in conjunction with the extinguishment of the aforementioned sections of probable historic highway ( public right of way ).

2.7 During these negotiations the rights of way situation across the Parlington Estate in general was discussed and the Estate have expressed a willingness to create a new public bridleway, together with two additional public footpaths, over existing non – definitive tracks, lying between existing highways in the Aberford, Barwick and Parlington areas, in conjunction with the extinguishment of the two unused sections of path, as referred to above.

2.8 Two of the public paths to be created were previously admitted as public rights of way in a statutory declaration, made under the provisions of the Rights of Way Act 1932, by Alvary Gascoigne of the Estate Office in Aberford in 1935. These routes connect to each other and lie to the west of Aberford village between Points S, R, Q and P, and Points T and U, as shown on Plans 7 and 8 of Appendix A, respectively.

2 2.9 The third public path to be created is located between Barwick Road / Long Lane and Parlington Lane, in the parish of Barwick, as shown between Points V and W on Plan 9, Appendix A. This path was also subject to the court hearings in the late 1980’s and was admitted as a public footpath at this time.

3 4.0 PROPOSAL

4.1 Following discussions with their representatives, the owners of the Parlington Estate have agreed to the creation of various public rights of way on land within their ownership. The described changes to the public rights of way network are shown on the maps referred to in Section 3.0 of this report. For clarification an amended extract from the Definitive Map for the area, showing the proposed changes, is attached at Plan 10, Appendix A. Where physical improvements are required on the bridleway routes to be created, the Parlington Estate will carry out works as required by the Council.

4.2 In conjunction with the proposed measures, the Parlington Estate have applied for the extinguishment of two sections of non-definitive bridleway which are currently unused and are not considered to be necessary for public use. These routes consist of the believed historic line of the Old Coach Road through Parlington Hollins, between Points F and G, and the undefined east-west bridleway located between Points K and L, as shown on Plans 4 and 3, Appendix A, respectively.

4.3 The overall scheme affects some sections of recorded Public Footpath which subsist both within the Parlington Estate and over land to it’s south in the Garforth area. Here the landowners have agreed to the implementation of the scheme, which will involve the upgrading of Public Footpaths Garforth Nos. 7a, 7(part) and 8(part), between Points A, B+, C+ and D, as shown on Plans 1 and 2, Appendix A.

4.4 As part of the scheme it is considered necessary for the Council to promote an additional Public Path Extinguishment Order for a short section of unused non- definitive bridleway. This lies between Garforth Paths 7 and 8, where part of the historic route of Old Coach Road subsists as a cross field path, which is not required, between Points B and C. Here the landowner is agreeable to the dedication of bridleway rights over suitable sections of Garforth Footpaths Nos.7 and 8, shown between Points B, B+ and C, which lie in close proximity, as described above.

4.5 The Parlington Estate are also willing to create a new section of public bridleway from Point E at the new bridleway underpass at the M1 Motorway. The route to be created continues northwards from Point E to the southern edge of Parlington Hollins at Point F. This section of proposed public bridleway is shown on Plan 3, Appendix A.

4.6 This bridleway will link westwards along the southern edge of Parlington Hollins, to a suitable bridleway crossing point on Barwick Road, between Points F and M, as also shown on Plan 3, Appendix A. In this connection officers from Public Rights of Way have liaised with officers from City Services and a suitable crossing point has been identified. This new section of bridleway will effectively form the replacement for the route proposed to be extinguished between Points L and K.

4.7 In addition to the above a further section of bridleway is to be created by the Parlington Estate over an existing farm track from the Old Coach Road eastwards to The Flyline ( Public Footpath Parlington No. 9 ) to a point opposite Lily Pit Cottage. This track is shown between Points L+ and H+ on Plan 5, Appendix A.

4.8 The Parlington Estate are also willing to upgrade the status of Public Footpath Parlington No. 9, between Points I+ and N, to that of a public bridleway. This will provide a link northwards towards Parlington Lane, which carries Public Bridleway Parlington No.2. At Point N a short bridleway link to Parlington Lane at Point J+ is

4 proposed. This link will utilise a suitable crossing point over a culverted drain. The remainder of Public Footpath Parlington No.9, located between Points N and J, adjacent to the Gamekeepers Cottage, will be retained as a public right of way on foot. These routes are shown on Plan 6, Appendix A. ( The measures described in Paragraphs 4.7 and 4.8 will effectively serve as the replacement route for the section of the Old Coach Road to be extinguished between Points F and G ).

4.9 The continuation of The Flyline southwards does not fall within the ownership of the Parlington Estate. However this carries Public Footpath Sturton Grange No.6, which links to Public Bridleway Garforth No. 10. It is therefore envisaged that this footpath will be upgraded to the status of public bridleway in the future, as part of the Rights of Way Improvement Plan process.

4.10 As referred to in Paragraphs 2.7 to 2.9 the Parlington Estate are willing to create further new sections of public path through the making of additional Creation Agreements with the Council.

4.11 The proposed new public bridleway is located to the east of the Triumphal Arch in Aberford Park. It will link from Parlington Lane at Point N+, in a generally northerly direction to Aberford Road at Point 0, opposite the junction of Public Bridleway Parlington No.6 at Leyfield Farm. This process will involve the upgrading an existing section of public footpath, located between Points N+ and R. This will create a valuable link in the local bridleway network for the benefit of all path users. The proposed route is shown on Plan 7, Appendix A.

4.12 The original route of this path is already believed to have public bridleway status where it subsists from Parlington Lane, at Point S, to Aberford Road, at Point P, opposite Leyfield Farm. Part of this path ( between Points S, Z and R ) was diverted by Order as a public footpath only in 1984, onto a line located between Points N+ (at it’s junction with Parlington Lane ) and R. This section of path consequently carries a definitive Public Footpath known as Parlington Path No. 8. Here a Public Path Order is required to extinguish the remaining likely bridleway rights between Points S, Z and R. The other section proposed to be extinguished lies at the edge of a cultivated field to the south of Leyfield Farm, between Points P and Q, and the Parlington Estate have offered the provision of bridleway rights on an adjacent existing woodland track which is considered to be a better alternative for users. These routes are also shown on Plan 7, Appendix A.

4.13 The first footpath proposed to be created runs broadly parallel to the north of Parlington Lane, on a south-west / north-east orientation, between Point T ( at it’s junction with the proposed bridleway to Leyfield Farm ) and Point U, at the boundary of the Parlington Estate. Here Public Footpath Aberford No.1 lies adjacent within Aberford village. This route is shown on Plan 8, Appendix A.

4.14 The second footpath proposed to be created is located between Barwick Road / Long Lane and Parlington Lane. Here the Estate are willing to create a new public footpath by agreement, between Points V and W, as shown on Plan 9, Appendix A.

Objections to the proposals have been made by 12(3) - Personal data , in part, and 12 (3) 12(3) - whilst 12(3) - Personal data have expressed their support. A copy of Perso - nalthis correspondence is attached at Appendix C. Pe data rso 5.2 The main reasons given by 12(3) - Personal data for their objection are set outnal below : dat a • The section of the Old Coach Road through Parlington Hollins between Points F and G is necessary for public use and should be retained.

• The Flyline should remain as a Public Footpath only.

• Use by horseriders and cyclists will have an adverse effect on conditions for walkers.

• A new Public Footpath should be dedicated by Parlington Estate between Ass Bridge and Throstle Nest Bridge to the north of Parlington Lane ( Public Bridleway Parlington No. 2 ), along the length of Barwick Bank. This would also provide a link for Public Footpath Barwick in No.17, which currently stops at a dead end at the Parlington Parish boundary.

5.3 However 12(3) - welcomes the proposed public bridleway status of parts of the Personal historic lengthdata of the Old Coach Road between Points E to F, M to F and L+ to H+, as previously referred to.

5.4 12(3) - broadly supports the proposals and has also made some suggestions Personal dataconcerning safety precautions, future maintenance, widths of routes and other possible links for the public rights of way network.

6 5.5 12(3) - welcomes some parts of the proposals. However he has raised other Personal dataconcerns on behalf of Aberford and District parish Council in relation to access issues across the Parlington Estate as a whole, as set out below :

• The Parish Council would like the provision of new permissive paths within Parlington Estate to be considered further.

• The Parish Council questions the formal creation of a footpath between Points T and U, together with the need for a public bridleway between Points N+ and O, as these paths already exist on the ground and are well used by local walkers.

• The Parish Council is concerned about the future of other non – definitive routes within the Parlington Estate that are not considered within these proposals.

5.8 In addition to the normal consultation process the proposed measures were formally discussed at the Public Rights of Way Surgery Meeting of the 6 November 2002.

6.0 LEGAL FRAMEWORK

6.1 The City Council is the Surveying Authority for the Definitive Map and Statement for the Leeds Metropolitan District and, under Section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, the Council is required to keep the Definitive Map and Statement under continuous review and to make Modification Orders as necessary.

6.2 In normal circumstances the Council would have to consider making Modification Orders to add the Old Coach Road and the adjoining undefined bridleway to the Definitive Map on the basis of the discovery of evidence. However the proposed measures are considered to offer an expedient method of resolving this matter and enhancing the public rights of way network, through the use of other legislation, without being of detriment to path users.

6.3 A Public Path Extinguishment Order can be made under Section 118 of the Highways Act 1980, in the interests of the owners, occupiers and lessees of the land, and of the general public, where it is considered “ that it is expedient “ that a public footpath or bridleway should be stopped up “ on the grounds that it is not needed for public use “.

6.4 Section 25 of the Highways Act 1980 enables a Local Authority to enter into a “ Public Path Creation Agreement “ with any person/group of persons, having the necessary power in that behalf for the dedication by that person/group of persons of a footpath or bridleway over land in their area.

6.5 In line with advice contained in Circulars 3/93 and 11/96 the Council is entitled to charge an applicant for it’s administrative and advertising costs associated with the making of Public Path Orders. The Council’s current charges are £1300 for a standard application, plus £200 for each additional path included in an Order, plus advertising costs.

7 6.6 In cases of financial hardship or where the Order is considered to be in the public interest, the Council can, in appropriate cases waive the charges, either in whole or part.

6.7 In the present case the relevant landowners have indicated that they are willing to dedicate the sections of public bridleway and footpath, as indicated on the maps shown at Appendix A, over their land for all time.

6.8 Section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act requires the Definitive Map and Statement to be modified by Order where “ legal events “ that stop up, create, divert, widen or extend highways required to be shown in the map and statement occur. Consequently the public bridleways and footpaths to be created will be added to the definitive records in due course.

7.0 OFFICER COMMENT

7.1 As a consequence of the discovery of evidence by the Council in the early 1990’s, in connection with the planning of the new M1 motorway, the status of the believed public bridleways has been subject to detailed consideration and investigation. This has led to lengthy negotiations with the relevant landowners in this case, principally with representatives of the Parlington Estate, all of whom have worked with the Council in a spirit of co-operation.

7.2 In this connection the section of the Old Coach Road within Parlington Hollins, between Points F and G, together with the undefined bridleway, between Points K and L, which the Parlington Estate have applied to be extinguished are both unproven as public rights of way and are partially redundant. However the Parlington Estate have, without prejudice, essentially accepted their probable public status for the purpose of this exercise. In the circumstances it is considered that these sections of path are now no longer needed for public use. Similarly the non-definitive section of the Old Coach Road between Points B and C, as described in Paragraph 4.4, is no longer considered to be needed for public use.

7.3 In this case the Parlington Estate have offered to contribute £1500 towards the costs associated in making and adverting the proposed Public Path Extiguishment Order relating to the described sections of path between Points F and G and K and L, within the estate. The Public Rights of Way Officer considers this to be not unreasonable in the circumstances.

7.4 The additional sections of proposed public path referred to in Paragraphs 4.10 to 4.14 are all considered to have a public status by virtue of previous events relating to their dedication as highways. The formal dedication of these ways will recognise these believed rights and enable the paths in question to be added to the Definitive Map and Statement. The two sections of believed public path proposed to be extinguished, between Points S and R and Q and P, are not currently in use by the public and they are not considered to be required for public use.

7.5 The Definitive Map covering the Parlington and Garforth areas is subject to periodic review and there may be other currently unknown public paths that subsist in these areas. However in the light of the understanding that has been reached with the relevant landowners the proposed measures are considered to offer a realistic rationalisation of the local public rights of way network. This will in turn create a good foundation for the forthcoming Public Rights of Way Improvement Plan, as required by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000.

8 7.6 Where new public bridleways to be physically provided the required works will need to be to the Council’s satisfaction. Once the described Public Path Creation Agreements come into operation the future maintenance of the surface of the paths subject to the agreements will become the responsibility of the City Council as the Highway Authority. Some sections of the ways to be agreed as public bridleways will be subject to necessary maintenance works in conjunction with the agreed measures, on the basis of their likely status as publicly maintainable highways, and ongoing improvements will occur as part of the Council’s general maintenance obligations.

7.7 The public’s right of way over the public paths to be created will be fully protected by virtue of their future definitive status.

7.8 The objections that have been submitted to the Council generally relate to a desire for extra routes within the Parlington Estate or to a perceived conflict between walkers, horseriders and cyclists. On the first point it is open to anyone to submit an application for a Modification Order to add a claimed public right of way to the Definitive Map. Alternatively the Council may enter into a Permissive Path Agreement with a landowner who wishes to do so.

7.9 With regard to the potential conflict between users the proposals as a whole are considered to offer benefit to the public in general and the fact that they concern an extension of bridleway rights is a reflection of the evidence uncovered in this case. All of the routes will be provided to an appropriate width and by their nature bridleways make provision for a wider remit of path users, i.e. pedestrians, equestrians and pedal cyclists, and the reporting of problems on existing bridleways is comparatively rare.

7.10 The suggestions put forward by the British Horse Society with regard to the need for safety precautions have been investigated. In this connection Officers within the City Services Department have been contacted with regard to appropriate warning signage and verge maintenance work on Barwick Road and Aberford Road. Should the recommendations outlined in this report be agreed these measures will be addressed in conjunction with the other works outlined within this report.

8.0 RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS

8.1 Funding : The costs of making and advertising the Public Path Extinguishment Order relating to the Old Coach road and the undefined bridleway within the Parlington Estate, as referred to, will be largely met by the applicant, as described. The Council’s costs of making and advertising the other necessary Public Path Extinguishment Order, together with the costs of entering into the necessary Public Path Creation Agreements will need to be met. This was previously met utilising existing Highway budgets.

8.2 Staffing : There are no additional staffing implications.

9.0 SPECIFIC IMPLICATIONS FOR ETHNIC MINORITIES, WOMEN AND DISABLED PERSONS GROUPS

9.1 Ethnic Priorities: None.

9.2 Women: None

9.3 Disabled Persons Groups : None.

9 10.0 IMPLICATIONS FOR CORPORATE AND DEPARTMENTAL POLICIES

10.1 CORPORATE

10.1.1 Green Strategy : The creation of the described public footpaths and bridleways will serve to protect and maintain the existing public rights of way network and increase leisure routes for walkers, horseriders and cyclists in the Parlington and Garforth areas. This is in line with Paragraph 8.17 of the Green Strategy.

10.1.2 Access to the Countryside Strategy : The described scheme will enhance the public rights of way network and improve and extend access for walkers, horseriders and cyclists. This is in line with the strategic objectives and policies of the Access to the Countryside Strategy.

10.1.4 West Local Transport Plan : The described scheme will provide greater opportunity for walking, cycling and horseriding. This is in line with objectives outlined in Chapter 8 of the Local Transport Plan.

10.1.5 Mobility : The bridleways to be created will offer greater accessibility for the wider public. Where necessary they will be provided with an improved width and surface standard and existing stiles will be replaced with suitable gates.

10.2 DEPARTMENTAL

10.2.1 Pedestrians, cyclists and bridleway users : The bridleways to be created will be provided to an acceptable standard before a formal Creation Agreement is entered into.

11.0 CONCLUSIONS

11.1 The two sections of the Old Coach Road, and the undefined bridleway, together with two further sections of non – definitive bridleway as described, are considered to be no longer needed for public use.

11.2 It is considered that the footpaths and bridleways to be created will enhance the public rights of way network generally within the Parlington area and adjoining Parishes and they will offer increased amenity for both walkers, together with horseriders and cyclists where bridleways are to be created .
