Definitive map modifications order (DMMO) applications register
The DMMO applications register and DMMO register plans show the full list of valid applications we’ve received to modify the public rights of way definitive map and statement. They also include recent decisions.
The DMMO register helps to:
- increase knowledge among landowners, users and the general public, as applications that could result in changes to the definitive map and/or the rights of way network are listed
- avoid duplication where more than one person may be thinking of applying to change the definitive map
- make people aware of ways that landowners don't intend to dedicate as public rights of way
Landowner deposits
Section 31(6) of the Highways Act 1980 allows landowners to protect their land from public rights of way by depositing a plan and statement. These show all of the paths that they accept as public rights of way on their land. Any other paths (except those that are already recorded) are protected.
Use by the public during the period that the deposit is valid does not establish any public rights.
