Background

Public footpaths, bridleways, restricted byways and byways, open to all traffic are recorded on Definitive Maps and Statements. These maps and statements provide conclusive legal evidence of the existence of public rights. Oxfordshire County Council is responsible for the Definitive Map and Statement for Oxfordshire and has a duty to amend them when evidence suggests that they are inaccurate or incomplete. Such amendments are made by Modification Orders made under section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. These Orders do not come into effect until confirmed. If there are no objections to the order, or if any made are withdrawn, the council may confirm the Order, and the Definitive Map and Statement will then be modified.

The Coleshill Bridleway No. 11 (part) Modification Order 2024

Oxfordshire County Council made a Modification Order to add a public bridleway to the definitive map and statement from Highworth Road (B4019) northeast of Coleshill Bridge at OS grid reference SU 2346 9357 running south-eastwards for 95m to the current northwest end of Coleshill Bridleway No. 11 at SU 2353 9351, shown A – B on the Order plan on the right hand side.

The council made this Order because there is sufficient evidence to suggest that a public bridleway subsists or is reasonably alleged to subsist and therefore this should be shown on the map and statement. This evidence consists of documentary evidence. The evidence on which the decision is based is set out in the determination report found on the right hand side. The report appendices are available on request from the case officer - contact details are on the right hand side.

Confirmation of the order

No objections were received to the Order, and so the council confirmed the order as unopposed, and the bridleway will be recorded in the Definitive Map and Statement.
