EEC/07/188/HQ Public Rights of Way Committee 10 July 2007 Definitive Map Review 2005-2007 Parish of Dunterton Report of the Director of Environment, Economy and Culture Please note that the following recommendation is subject to confirmation by the Public Rights of Way Committee before taking effect. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Committee note that to date there are no proposals for modifying the Definitive Map in the Parish of Dunterton. 1. Summary The report concerns the Definitive Map Review in the Parish of Dunterton. 2. Background The original survey under s. 27 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act, 1949, revealed no public rights of way to be recorded on the Definitive Map and Statement for Dunterton in the Tavistock Rural District. The reviews of the Definitive Map, under s. 33 of the 1949 Act, which commenced in the 1960s and 1970s but were never completed, produced no valid proposal for any addition, upgrading or deletion. The Limited Special Review of Roads Used as Public Paths (RUPPS), carried out in the 1970s, did not affect this parish. 3. Consultations The current review started in 2005 has consulted all statutory consultees and landowners. Proposals submitted to Devon County Council since the original Review were picked up, but produced no valid proposals for modification of the Definitive Map. General consultations have been carried out since January 2006 and the responses have been: County Councillor Mrs Marsh - no comment West Devon Borough Council - no comment Milton Abbot & Dunterton Parish Council - no comment British Horse Society - no comment Byways and Bridleways Trust - no comment Country Landowners' Association - no comment National Farmers' Union - no comment Open Spaces Society - no comment Ramblers' Association - no comment Trail Riders' Fellowship - no comment Cyclists Touring Club - no comment 4. Conclusion There are no other recommendations to make concerning any modifications. However, should any valid claim be made in the next six months it would seem sensible for it to be determined promptly rather than deferred. 5. Legal Considerations The implications/consequences of the recommendation have been taken into account in preparing the report.
