We have confirmed the order to extend Fencott and Murcott Footpath No.12 along Pigeon House Lane to meet the all purpose highway, on the Definitive Map and Statement of Public Rights of Way.
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 If there are no objections to the order, or if any made are withdrawn, the council may confirm the Order, and the Definitive Map and Statement will then be modified.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 Fencott and Murcott Footpath No. 12 (part) Modification Order 2024
Oxfordshire County Council made a Modification Order to record a public footpath from Pigeonhouse Lane near Pigeon House Farm, Murcott OX5 2RE, at grid reference SP 5874 1541, running southwest along Pigeonhouse Lane for 127 metres to the existing eastern end of footpath no. 12, north of Dunrowan, at SP 5865 1532 , 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 right of way on foot subsists or is reasonably alleged to subsist and therefore this should be shown on the map and statement. The evidence on which the decision was based is set out in the determination report. The report appendices are available on request from the case officer - contact details are on the right hand side.
