Byway Open to all Traffic EE496 and Restricted Byway EE497 at Wingham and Goodnestone - Definitive Map Modification Order 2022

Kent County Council has received an application, and subsequently made an Order, to amend the legal record of Public Rights of Way, known as the Definitive Map, by recording a new route, partly as Byway Open to All Traffic and partly as Restricted Byway running between Staple Road at Twitham Farm (in the parish of Wingham) and Bridleways EE28/EE269A in the parish of Goodnestone.

Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, the County Council may make an Order to modify the Definitive Map where it is considered that a public right of way which is not shown on the map is reasonably alleged to subsist.

UPDATE 10/06/2025: The Order has now been confirmed by the Planning Inspectorate and has taken legal effect. A copy of the Inspectorate's decision and the confirmed Order may be found in the Documents section.
