DEVELOPMENT CONTROL & REGULATION COMMITTEE Meeting date: 3 January 2013 From: Corporate Director – Environment WILDLIFE AND COUNTRYSIDE ACT 1981 LEGAL EVENT MODIFICATION ORDER NO 3 – 2000-2009 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Officers have been collating the information to bring Cumbria County Council’s Definitive Map and Statement of Public Rights of Way up to date since its last review in 1976. 1.2 In order to make any amendment to the Definitive Map and Statement an Order must be made under the provisions of Section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 1.3 All the legal events in all six district of the county for the period 2000 to 2009 have been recorded and Legal Event Modification Order No 3 is now ready to make. A copy of the Schedules to the proposed Order are attached at Appendix A to this report and lists all the path orders to be included. 2.0 POLICY POSITION , BUDGETARY AND EQUALITY IMPLICATIONS , AND LINKS TO CORPORATE STRATEGY 2.1 The relevant corporate theme is the creation and protection of a high quality environment for all. 2.2 This matter is a decision making process of a quasi-judicial nature. There should be no policy or political consideration given and any potential financial implication should be ignored. It is solely a matter of ensuring that the legal steps must be taken. 3.0 RECOMMENDATION 3.1 That the Assistant Director Legal & Democratic Services be authorised to make Legal Event Modification Order No 3 to modify the Definitive Map and Statement pursuant to Section 53(3) (a) of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. 4.0 BACKGROUND 4.1 The Definitive Map and Statement was first drawn up under the provisions of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. Reviews were carried out under that Act in 1967 and 1976. The relevant date for the 1976 review was 1 January 1976. This means that all amendments to the rights of way before that date should have been incorporated into that reviewed Map and Statement. However, the task of carrying out a review is so complex and time consuming that the 1976 review was not concluded until 1989. 4.2 The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 was in force by the conclusion of the 1976 review. This Act introduced different and new procedures for altering the Definitive Map and Statement. 4.3 An evidential Modification Order under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 can alter a public right of way. This is where evidence becomes known of an incorrect route or of a new route not previously on the map and statement. This is the procedure that frequently comes before this committee. Such an order serves to establish or confirm the route and incorporates authority to amend the Definitive Map and Statement. 4.4 However, a public path may also be altered, created or extinguished by various other methods under a number of other legislative provisions, particularly the Highways Act 1980 and the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. Such provisions will result in an order being made by the Courts or the Highway Authority or the Planning Authority and such matters frequently come before this committee. Such orders are called “legal events” and will allow a valid alteration to the right of way but do not in themselves authorise any amendment to the Definitive Map and Statement. 4.5 In order to make any amendment to the Definitive Map and Statement an Order must be made under the provisions of Section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Section 53 (2)(a) is a provision to place a duty upon the Surveying Authority to make such modifications to the map and statement as appear to them requisite in consequence of legal events. A copy of the Schedules to the proposed Order are attached at Appendix A to this report and lists all the path orders to be included. 5.0 OPTIONS 5.1 There are no procedures or grounds for any person or authority to raise objections. This is an administrative, procedural process only; the alterations to the rights of way having already taken place. 5.2 The Committee may accept or reject the recommendation 6.0 CONCLUSION 6.1 The proposal is an administrative, procedural process only. Some 180 legal events have occurred during the period 2000-2009 in the areas concerned. The County Council has a duty as the Surveying Authority to record these on the map and statement. 6.2 The Committee are asked to support the recommendation.
