Proposals to move paths away from family homes

30/9/2012

10 Comments

 
A Natural England Stakeholder Working Group published a report ‘Stepping Forward’ in 2010.  Our understanding is that the proposals contained in the report aim to improve the current inflexible rights of way system; moving paths away from family homes is part of that.  In the Natural England report it mentions the need to achieve a better fit with the modern use of land, in particular  ‘ .. flexibility to mitigate any significant conflicts there might be with the modern land use’ and leads to the proposal 6.

The CLA, members of the Natural England Working Group, have subsequently published their own policy paper ‘The Right Way Forward’ that expands on the Natural England report stating ‘Defra should issue specific guidance to highway authorities setting out the presumption in favour of diverting paths away from farmyards, commercial areas , gardens and other areas where privacy, safety or security is an issue.’

All this needs to be embodied in primary legislation to give it full effect and family homes specified  as excepted land.

The link below provides another example of the difficulties experienced when trying to get some common sense applied when dealing with a footpath that is clearly an intrusion into a family home and the lack of respect shown for a person’s privacy and human rights.
