So you want to vary or revoke a public path order? Sounds just the job for correcting unfortunate errors in the original order — but how does it work, and is there really such a thing as a public path variation order? pannageman.craddocks.co.uk/2…

There's now a 'reasonable excuse' for visiting any 'public open space' (SI 2020/350 am. by 2020/500, r.6(2)(ba)). It's defined to include <any> 'mountain, moor, heath, down, cliff or foreshore', woodland, river or lake, whether accessible or not. Sadly, not a defence to trespass.

"The true footpath is not planned and dug, but is something which has happened over the centuries as generations of feet have agreed this was the best way of getting to wherever it was they were bound for. It was feet that chose and made the route." ~C.R.Milne #WednesdayWisdom

Special thanks to Philip Petchey of @FTB_law for depth of his research for @openspacessoc into use of 'curtilage' in statute law, which greatly informed the court's judgment. The judge has granted permission to appeal on compelling public interest grounds. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-ha…

Supreme Court quashes registration of two publicly-owned sites as town or village greens on grounds of statutory incompatibility. With this judgment and 'trigger events' (s.15C of the Commons Act 2006), we've come a long way since Sunningwell glebe (bailii.org/uk/cases/UKHL/199…).
Judgment has been handed down in the cases of R (on the app. Of Lancashire County Council) v Sec. of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and
another and R (on the app. of NHS Property Services Ltd) v Surrey County
Council and another supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-2…

What makes an application for a definitive map modification order? Some councils say an application must be notified to landowners before it can be registered. @IPROW1 invites @openspacessoc to present its case. And why it may soon matter more than ever. pannageman.craddocks.co.uk/#…

The first court case to pronounce on the meaning of 'trigger events' has worrying implications for town and village green applications in England, and soon Wales as well. ow.ly/EMmQ30mmUL4

Desire paths often appear in areas without pavements, allowing “city dwellers to ‘write back’ to city planners, giving feedback with their feet”, or simply "revealing the path of least resistance"?
What do you think of desire paths?
