Footpath WB72, Tunbridge Wells - 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 Public Footpath WB72 running between Blackhurst Lane and Sandown Park at Tunbridge Wells.

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.

An objection has been received to this Order which has not been withdrawn. Therefore, the County Council has submitted the Order, the objection and all other relevant documents to the Secretary of State.

Copies of the submission documents can be found in the Documents section.
