Dear Walter Allen,

Thank you for your request for information received 07/08/2018 concerning
PROW - SCHEDULE 14 CLAIMS. Please see below:

 I confirm that the Council is a Surveying Authority for the purposes of
the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and determines Schedule 14 claims.

As a principle, the Council works with applicants to ensure that there
will not grounds to refuse or turn back applications on the basis of
administrative error.

There are circumstances, however, where non-compliance with the statutory
requirements set out in Schedule 14  has impacted on the ability of the
Council to overlook administrative error meaning that in certain case
routes claimed as Byways Open to All Traffic (BOAT) can only be recorded
as Restricted Byways. The Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act
2006 (NERC Act) restricted the means by which new rights of way for
motorised vehicles in the countryside can be created or recorded. A right
for motor vehicles was preserved under the Natural Environment and Rural
Communities Act 2006 Act by Section 67(2) for  existing rights as defined
therein and a further exemption is provided by Section 67(3) where a
Schedule 14 application has been made prior to 19th May 2005 provided it
was compliant with the requirements of Schedule 14.

If I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact
me.

If you have any queries regarding this response, please do not hesitate to
contact me at the following address: Access to Information Officer,
Corporate Information Management Team, PO BOX 62, Wynnstay Road, Ruthin,
LL15 9AZ. Alternatively, if you are unhappy with the way the council has
handled your request and wish to ask for internal review, please contact
the Corporate Information Manager at the same address. If you are
subsequently not content with the outcome of the review, you have the
right to apply to the Information Commissioner whose address is Wycliffe
House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
