Decision:
• This is an application made by two
members of the public in 2018 to record bridleway rights from
Springwell Lane, Hartfordbridge, northwards across a ford to
Hulfords Lane, then northwards through Warren Heath to Church Road,
Eversley. Section A-B is recorded on the List of Streets as a
publicly maintainable highway but is not recorded on the definitive
map. Section B-H is recorded on the definitive map as a public
footpath.
• The application is supported by user evidence that the
applicant believes demonstrates that a public footpath should be
recorded on the basis of long-term use of the claimed route, and a
number of documents which the applicant believes demonstrates that
part of the route has historically been used as a bridleway.
• Having considered the user evidence, the historic evidence
submitted, and having undertaken additional research of historic
documentary evidence, it is considered that there are sufficient
grounds to record restricted byway rights between points A and B on
the attached plan, at a width varying between 2.3 and 19 metres. It
is considered that there are insufficient grounds to record higher
rights between points B and H.
