Right of Way Law: Nelson & Burnley
There are two different types of right of way in this country, those are rights of way over public areas or rights of way by way of private agreement.
At times disputes can arise in relation to both matters. In England and Wales there are a number of footpaths and bridleways that are defined by various maps. Local authorities have a duty to maintain and protect these paths. All the paths should be sign posted and the areas where the public can roam. If you are involved in a dispute as to whether or not there is a bridleway or footpath, then please contact us.
In house deeds, properties are given various rights across your neighbours land. This could be a right of way across that land or a right to run a service across the same such as a utility. To see what those rights are you need to consult your own title documents (deeds). The right of way will be described in there. If that is breached then action needs to be taken.
If there is nothing in writing then there are rules and regulations that state how rights can be obtained.
If you require advice upon this then please contact us.
