Synopsis

The exercise of public rights of way has long been a source of conflict and confrontation between users, landowners and local authorities. "Public Rights of Way and Access to Land", written by Angela Sydenham, one of the country's leading authorities on the subject, succeeds in clarifying the arcane and often archaic law. By turn she explains the creation and loss of public rights of way and access to land, how their existence can be ascertained, and the nature of the obligations to maintain and manage them. The third edition of this popular work has been comprehensively updated to take account of recent legislation including the Commons Act 2006 and the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 and the regulations made under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000.A number of significant cases are discussed including those dealing with rights arising from long use such as Bakewell Management v Brandwood which established that where an express grant of a private right of way can be made a prescriptive right can arise, and Oxfordshire County Councilv Oxford City Council and Robinson (the Trap Grounds case) which deals with the creation of village greens. This edition sets out the Countryside and Public Rights of Way Act 2000 in full with annotations to indicate when the various sections commencedand any regulations made under those sections, together with all relevant provisions from the Highways Act 1980, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006, as well as other relevant planning notes and guidance. "Public Rights of Way and Access to Land" is a vital resource for local authorities and advisers to landowners.
