The definitive map and statement is legally conclusive proof that a right of way exists in the position shown on the map. It allows us to take action against anyone who tries to prevent the public using these routes.
You can make a Definitive Map Modification Order (DMMO) application to change the definitive map if you think a PRoW:
is not recorded on the definitive map and statement
is recorded incorrectly
We're required to keep a register of every DMMO application we receive. We update the DMMO Register as we receive new DMMO applications, and when details of a particular DMMO change - such when a final decision is made.
