The developer must ensure that: 1. There is no diminution in the width of the right of way available for use by members of the public 2. No building materials are stored on the right of way 3. No damage or substantial alterations, either temporary or permanent, is caused to the surface of the right of way 4. Vehicle movements are arranged so as not to interfere with the public’s use of the way 5. No additional barriers (e.g. gates) are to be placed across the right of way, of either a temporary or permanent nature 6. No wildlife fencing or other ecological protection features associated with wildlife mitigation measures are placed across the right of way or allowed to interfere with the right of way 7. The safety of members of the public using the right of way is ensured at all times 8. The granting of planning consent does not authorise lawful authority to drive a motor vehicle on a public right of way. Developers/landholders should ensure that public use of the Public Right of Way takes precedence over private vehicular traffic. It is a criminal offence to damage the surface of a Public Right of Way, and the consent of the County Council must be sought for the route to be re-surfaced even if the surface is to be improved. The granting of planning permission for development of land over which there is a public right of way does not itself constitute authority for interference with the right of way or for its closure or diversion.
