This is an application made by a member of the
public in 2018 to upgrade Tangley Footpath 12 to a Byway Open to
All Traffic. The application is supported by historic documentary
evidence that the applicant believes demonstrates that higher
public rights should be recorded along the route.
Having considered the evidence submitted with the application, and
undertaken additional research of historic documentary evidence, it
is considered that there are insufficient grounds to record a BOAT
along the route.
NB – the former owner of Whistler’s Farm, referred to
in the Background Report disputes a number of assertions of the
objector’s solicitor, reported in paragraphs 18 and 43 of the
report. These assertions were included in a section of the report
that summarised consultation responses received from interested
parties – they are not attributable to, nor do they reflect
the views of, the County Council.
