The Planning Inspectorate- Wales

Public path orders

Introduction

This booklet sets out the procedure for orders made under Section 26, 118 and 119 of the Highways Act 1980 and 257, 258 and 261 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 which have been sent to the National Assembly for Wales for confirmation because objections have been made and not withdrawn. It also sets out what the Secretary of State and inspectors will take into account when they make decisions on orders. We hope this information will help authorities who make orders and those who support or object to orders.

This booklet has no legal force.

Orders made under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and sent to the Secretary of State are dealt with in a similar booklet. You can get copies from our Cardiff office.

The Rights of Way Section in Bristol deals with all Public Path Orders in England which are opposed.
