QBD 14 May 1992. The Council in accordance with Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and the Definitive Map Modification Order 1987 made a modification order upgrading the status of bridleway footpaths. An inquiry was held and the inspector refused to confirm the order. Objections were heard from a number of sources including the landowners who had been trying for many years to stop it becoming a highway or a bridleway by charging a toll on the route. The council appealed. Appeal upheld on the grounds that the inspector had not considered Highways Act 1980 s31 concerning use of right of ways.
