  • Dear, PLOUGHING and CROPPING on PUBLIC RIGHTS of WAY
    Environmental Services Date: 1st September 2017 Civic Centre, Market Walk, Temple Street, Keynsham, Bristol BS31 1LA Our ref: SP/ Minicom: (01225) 394166 Council Connect: (01225) 39 40 41 Your ref: www.bathnes.gov.uk/BathNES/transportandroads Direct line (01225) 394943 Fax: (01225) 394205 E-Mail: sheila_petherbridge@bath nes.gov.uk Dear, PLOUGHING AND CROPPING ON PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY. Hopefully you are all well into harvest, the yields are good and you are planning your planting for next year or even the year after. At this time I would like to remind you about the legal requirements with regard to public rights of way should you have any footpaths, bridleways or carriageways across your land. There have been concerns that we have previously been too casual with regard the enforcement procedure regarding ploughing and cropping in the past and need to be more pro-active should the law be broken in the future. We are therefore writing to all farmers who have public rights of way crossing arable fields. Section 134 Highways Act 1980 gives a statutory right to plough or otherwise disturb a cross field right of way in accordance with the rules of good husbandry, (growing a crop). The path can be reasonably disturbed but the surface must be made good to not less than the minimum width so as to make it reasonably convenient for the exercise of the public right of way. On first disturbance the maximum time allowed is 14 days which is intended to allow a succession of operations to be undertaken within that 14 days.
