In 2006, a member of the public submitted an
application to Hampshire County Council for a Definitive Map
Modification Order (DMMO) to have a route connecting
Wych Lane and Nobes Avenue (as well as two spurs linking the route
to Fisher Road) in Bridgemary, Gosport, as public footpaths, based
on evidence of long use
by the public without challenge. The routes in question run through
land within the ownership of Hampshire County Council (HCC) and
Gosport Borough Council (GBC). Part of the application route has
since been dedicated by GBC.
