EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend the Public Rights of Way (Combined Orders) (England) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/442) (the “Principal Regulations”).

In Orders made by local authorities creating, stopping up or diverting public rights of way, the Principal Regulations enable local authorities also to provide for the required consequential amendments of the definitive maps and statements which record such rights of way.

In relation to such Orders for which model forms are prescribed, these Regulations prescribe wording for those forms relating to the modification of such definitive maps and statements.

These Regulations also insert references to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and to modification of definitive maps and statements in the headings contained in the forms of the Orders.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
