See the latest order notices for diversions, definitive map modification orders and temporary closures and how to comment on a notice.
On this page you can see the current legal notices for rights of way orders and temporary closures made and confirmed by us. You can also find notices of new Highways Act S31(6) submissions, and notices sent to us for display on our website by other authorities, such as Natural England Open Access notices.
In relation to public access within the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks, this page only includes traffic regulation orders affecting unsurfaced unclassified roads.
It does not show closures or restrictions to other public rights of way in the national parks. This information is available from their own websites.
You can find out about closures in the Yorkshire Dales National Park or find out about closures in the North York Moors National Park.
You can send objections or representations to public path orders and definitive map modification orders. These must be in writing (email is acceptable) and reach us by the closing date set out in the notice. They should clearly state your reasons for opposing or supporting an order, and those reasons must relate to the grounds and tests which apply to that particular type of order.
You cannot send objections and representations to temporary closure orders.
For public path orders (diversions, extinguishments and creations), reasons for objecting to an order could include:
For definitive map modification orders the tests for making an order are solely about whether the evidence does or does not justify a change to the definitive map. An objection to a definitive map modification order must:
If your objection relies on evidence which has already been submitted to us, there is no need to re-submit that evidence and you should simply refer to it in your objection.
Relevant evidence for definitive map modification orders is the same regardless of whether you wish to support or object to a definitive map modification order. Full information on the different kinds of evidence that are relevant can be found in definitive map modification order application guidance notes.
Before submitting any objections or representations please bear the following in mind:
