Countryside Access Service Annual Report 2024-25

Report of the Head of Countryside Access Service

1.0       Purpose of the report

1.1       To provide Members with an update of the work of the Countryside Access Service from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025, and an overview of planned work and some of the challenges facing the team in the coming year.

2.0       Introduction and Executive Summary

2.1       2024-5 has been an exciting year for the Countryside Access Service (CAS). We have successfully recruited a new Senior Public Rights of Way Officer and used the opportunity to refine the responsibilities of both principal and senior officers and review our processes, especially those most effected by the establishment of North Yorkshire Council such as planning, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our services.

2.2       We are continuing to work towards Natural England’s objective of establishing the Coast-to-Coast National Trail and are on track to complete most of the work in our area of North Yorkshire ahead of the spring 2026 opening.

2.3      Definitive Map Modification Order (DMMO) applications continued to be submitted at a high rate despite the Government’s announcement that it intends to scrap the 2031 cut-off date for applications based on historic evidence and the service is successfully processing a high volume of DMMOs and Public Path Orders.

2.4       As you will see in the report, CAS has continued to deliver significant improvements to the Public Right of Way (PROW) and Unsurfaced Unsealed Road (UUR) networks; 90.5% of the PROW network remains unobstructed; and we continued to effectively utilise volunteers and Path Keeper groups to manage the networks, all despite significant changes in staffing within the service.

3.0 Staffing and Budget

3.1 The CAS structure has remained the same in terms of number and positions of posts, save for some minor modifications to reporting lines, however 2024/25 has seen a significant state of flux with a number of key personnel changes, secured primarily from in house as well as external to the service*.

3.2 The new appointments included: Principal Public Rights of Way Officer (Andy Brown);  Senior Public Rights of Way Officer (Rosie Sanderson); Public Rights of Way Officer -Eastern Area (Jon Walton*); Principal Definitive Map Officer (Beth Brown); Senior Definitive Map Officer (Suzanne Williamson); Definitive Map Officers (Rob Light and Steph Dobbing*); Technical Officer (David Scriver*), and secondment of Engineer PROW Structures (Paul Tweed*).  Plans are in place to recruit for the retirement of two Definitive Map Officers (Steve Metcalfe and Robin Richardson) in May and July 2025. (See CAS Structure in Appendix 1).

3.3 In addition to our core budget of £172k revenue and £100k capital a further £150k of funding was secured and utilised on the PROW network from sources external to CAS, including National Trail Grants, Councillor localities budgets and National Landscape projects. £200k capital funding was allocated for PROW bridge renewal (inc.1 FTE); £150k capital funding was allocated for urban path maintenance via Highways Area Teams; and £200k capital funding was allocated to the maintenance of the UUR network (inc.1 FTE).

3.4 Looking ahead, an additional £200k capital funding has been secured for PROW maintenance in 2025/26 (£300K in total), and a five year deal has been agreed to contribute a total of £100K per annum to the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks to assist them in maintaining the PROW network in their respective areas under Delegation Agreement from 2025/26.

4.0       Definitive Map Team - general

4.1       A total of 6338 searches (land charge searches and Streetworks searches) were answered.

4.2       The team reviewed 1285 planning applications and sent responses to 435 of these where PROW are affected.

4.3       148 Temporary Traffic Regulation Order applications were processed, to allow utility companies and other parties to undertake necessary works affecting PROWs.

4.4       Highways Act Section 31(6) deposits (whereby a landowner submits a statement with a map, followed by a declaration, acknowledging any existing public rights of way across their land at the same time as declaring that they have no intention to dedicate any additional route to the public): 21 new submissions or renewals were processed. 

5.0       Definitive Map Team – DMMOs

5.1       34 new DMMO applications were received and recorded on the legal register.

5.2       There are 265 DMMO applications awaiting investigation.

5.3       The team are currently working on 40 DMMO cases, including 17 which are subject to a Schedule 14 Direction to Determine.

5.4       Determinations were made on 12 DMMO applications (NYC decision to make an Order - 8 applications, or to reject the application – 4 applications).

5.5       7 DMMOs were confirmed, 3 of which were confirmed following referral to the Secretary of State. One of these cases (Lanes Foot Road to Heyshaw, Dacre) was confirmed following a 1-day Hearing in October 2024. The Pot Moor Road (Nidderdale) DMMO was finally confirmed with modifications after three rounds of written representations. Sand Lane to South Duffield Road, Barlby was confirmed following written representations.

5.6       9 DMMO cases were completed and closed.

5.7       5 opposed Orders are currently being processed by the Secretary of State (4 DMMOs and 1 Extinguishment Order). The 3-day Public Inquiry scheduled for May 2024 to consider an opposed DMMO to add multiple Restricted Byway routes across the moorland near Scugdale in Hambleton was postponed by the PINS Inspector, and was heard as a 6-day Public Inquiry in March 2025. We are currently awaiting the outcome.

5.8       Public Inquiries are scheduled for September 2025 (Thwaite Lane, Clapham DMMO – public inquiry to hear objections to the Inspector’s proposed modifications to the Order) and October 2025 (South Milford railway crossing Extinguishment Order).

5.9       About 80% of DMMOs are opposed and therefore require referral to the Secretary of State for final decision on whether they should be confirmed. Ongoing delays at the Planning Inspectorate mean that cases can take up to 18 months between submission and decision.

5.10     Due to the general election and staffing changes at DEFRA, there has been no update on the implementation of the Rights of Way reforms included in the Deregulation Act. In December 2024 the government announced that it would scrap the 2031 cut-off date for DMMO applications based on historic documentary evidence, however this has not been enacted into law yet.

6.0 Definitive Map Team – PPOs (diversions, extinguishments & creations)

6.1 14 new PPO applications (HA1980 or T&CPA1990) were received.

6.2       The team are currently working on 41 PPO cases. This includes 6 diversions related to the Coast-to-Coast National Trail project.

6.3       22 Orders were made for PPOs.

6.4       21 PPOs were confirmed, and 16 were certified to say that works required to open the new route were complete. Diversion Orders at Ravensthorpe Manor, Boltby and Thimbleby Grange, and a Creation Order at Crimple Viaduct were confirmed by the Secretary of State, all following written representations.

6.5       38 PPOs were completed and closed (this includes several cases which had been completed previously but just needed final sign-off and file closure).

6.6       There are 10 PPO applications for which work has not yet started.

6.7       There has been no further update from DEFRA on the implementation date for the Right to Apply for PPOs.

7.0 PROW Network Management

7.1 1525 new issues on the PROW / UUR network were reported in 2024-25, down from 1683 in 2023-24. We feel that, whilst the volume of reporting remains high, our continued robust approach to obstruction issues coupled with the visible presence of our volunteers on the network carrying out inspections and minor maintenance is encouraging landowners to fulfil their responsibilities, thereby reducing the number of issues reported to us.

7.2 Ongoing recruitment and backfilling arrangements to October 2024 to manage long term staff absence reduced in year capacity, however despite this 1700 issues were resolved, up from 1494 in 2023-24 which is considered a positive achievement.

7.3 Signpost programmes across the county have resulted in twice the number of roadside signpost issues being resolved compared to those logged. Numbers of ploughing and cropping issues and undergrowth issues reported have lowered after the unusually high numbers reported in 2023/24. Other issues have remained at equivalent levels to recent years. Work with landowners, volunteers and other stakeholders is having a positive impact on stile, gate and waymarking issues. Bridge surveys undertaken by volunteers have not significantly impacted the number of issues logged, as it is enabling more proactive maintenance to be carried out to prolong the lifespan of

structures.

Figure 1 issues handled by type 2024-25

7.4 The unresolved issue backlog stands at 9446 as of 1^st April 2025, down from 9641 on the 1^st April 2024:

Figure 2 Backlog history as of April 2025

7.5 Issues are currently recorded on 43.6% of the PROW network and 90.5% of the network remains unobstructed.

7.6 Two cuts were undertaken on the 2024/25 PROW mowing programme with an additional third cut taking place on the Yorkshire Wolds Way. The previous seasonal vegetation contract expired in March 2025 and work during 2024 to ensure a new contract is in place has been undertaken. Contracts have been awarded in time for the new financial year.

7.7 The integration of data provided by the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) into CAMS (our management system) has significantly reduced the service’s reliance on land registry, reducing costs and in many cases has enabled us to contact land managers to deal with issues more swiftly and effectively. We hope that we can continue to receive this asset from the RPA and are exploring options to expand the use of the data to the definitive map team.  

7.8 We have implemented a review with our planning teams of how we respond to planning applications affecting public rights of way and process path orders under section 257 of the Town and County Planning Act 1990 and hope to have improved processes in place in 2025/6.

8.0 National Trails

8.1 Coast to Coast.

· Six diversions were initially identified to resolve significant issues on the trail, and two additional diversions on the A19 alternative crossing route were subsequently added. Catterick Bridge, Brompton, Glebe House and White House Farm were confirmed in 2024/25 leaving two diversions at Brompton and Welbury outstanding, although both are progressing. Physical works at Catterick Bridge have taken place and the works needed on other confirmed diversions are planned for 2025/26.

·

Drainage and surface improvement works have taken place at South Bank, St Martins. Step repairs and replacements have been completed at Iron Banks, St Martins and works to improve the riverside path in Colburn have also been completed.

Figure 3 Coast to Coast National Trail works at St Martins

· An options report into improving the Coast-to-Coast A19 crossing has been published by DEFRA but further work remains on hold pending a Government decision on whether to fund the scheme. In the meantime, the Coast-to-Coast walk will be signed on the alternative route via the Black Swan overbridge.

Figure 4 Coast to Coast National Trail alternative A19 crossing

· Signage, gate installations, counter installation, vegetation clearance and other surface improvements are planned for 2025/26. The service remains hopeful that all outstanding works will be completed prior to the commencement in early 2026.  

 .

8.2 King Charles III England Coast Path and Cleveland Way

· A variation of the National Trail at Primrose Valley Holiday Park is still required, but a permissive alternative remains in place.

· Maintenance of safety fencing around a collapsed culvert at Hunmanby Gap to safeguard the public is ongoing.  

· Works on the cliff top path at Speeton have been carried out to widen and level the route following wear through use, and cut back encroaching vegetation.

· The route adjacent to Filey Golf Course continues to slump and works have continued to manage the route so that it remains available to the public. No roll back has been required yet.

· A section of KCIIIECP at Hunmanby Gap continues to be rolled back due to coastal erosion, with the assistance of the landowners.

Figure 5 KCIIIECP roll back, Hunmanby Gap. Before (left) & After (Right) March 2025

8.3 Yorkshire Wolds Way

· A replacement staircase has been installed at Horn Dale, Filey and has been set back from the cliff edge as the previous staircase was at risk of loss from coastal erosion.

· The Yorkshire Wolds Way hosted a Muslim Hikers Walk in September 2025 on a guided walk from Huggate to Wharram Percy with support from both CAS staff and CAS countryside volunteers. This was enjoyed by all those who attended and it is hoped that further walks are organised and enjoyed in the future.

· The Wolds Way has been stile free for some time but 12 gates remain on the North Yorkshire stretch of the route that are not accessible. We continue to work towards the replacement of these remaining structures.

· A new partnership agreement has been approved for the Yorkshire Wolds Way, Cleveland Way & King Charles III England Coast path.

8.4 Pennine Trails

· 10 replacement fingerposts have been installed on the Pennine Way & Bridleway.

· An accessible gate has replaced an out of repair inaccessible gate in Thornton in Craven.

· A new 15 metre length of route has been flagged, replacing a length of boardwalk in Thornton and Craven

· Repairs to flagging on the route are planned for 2025/26 with funding from the Montane Spine Race.

10.0 Urban Paths Project

10.1 At the beginning of the Urban Paths project to transfer maintenance responsibility for paved urban PROWs to our highways teams, it was felt that any paved bridleways would remain the responsibility of CAS as we had the specialist knowledge to maintain any paved bridleways in a safe condition for horse riders. However, during the local government reorganisation process we discovered there were significant lengths of urban bridleway that had been paved by the former district and borough councils to provide a better surface for cyclists. As horse use on these routes was minimal and no issues have been reported to us concerning the suitability of the surface, it was felt it would be more appropriate for maintenance responsibility for these to be transferred to highways so they could be maintained alongside other cycleways on the highway network.

10.2 126 potentially publicly maintained paved bridleways have been identified across the County. 75% of the surveys to confirm the extent of these routes have been completed, the remainder of which are planned to be completed in early 2025/26.

11.0 Major Projects

11.1 A66 Northern Trans Pennine Project. Although National Highways’ proposal for the A66 dual carriageway upgrade has been approved by the Secretary of State the project is currently on hold pending the outcome of the Government’s spending review, although some preliminary works are continuing. The proposed scheme in North Yorkshire will include an over bridge for all users at Collier Lane, underpass with segregated bridle path at Moor Lane and dedicated bridleway underpass at Warrener Lane. There will be no at grade crossings of the new road and all affected public rights of way will link into these new grade-separated crossings. This will do much to address the north-south severance of public rights of way created by the existing road. In addition, a bridlepath is to be created alongside the old A66 as it will continue to be a busy local access road. This will also address issues with east-west connectivity of public rights of way. More information on the project can be found at: https://nationalhighways.co.uk/our-roads/a66-northern-trans-pennine

11.2 A1 Leeming to Barton bridleway improvements. Bridleway diversion and works complete at Oak Grange, including installation of signage and replacement bridge. This concludes the A1 L2B bridleway improvement work.

11.3 Paths for Everyone, Ryedale Environment Group. Ryedale Environment Group completed surfacing works on Broughton Green Lane in November 2024, to improve accessibility to all users. An ageing footbridge over Spittle Beck in Helmsley has been replaced with a culvert, to improve access to all users to the public footpath as well as the permissive path along the rail bed. The group continues to develop plans and proposals with the aim of connecting the market towns of Ryedale. We will continue to liaise with the group where proposals impact on PROW.

11.4 Howardian Hills National Landscape (HHNL).Partnership working between CAS and the HHNL has continued and 60 replacement fingerposts, including the new National Landscape logo, have been installed across the area- part funded by the HHNL. Boardwalk replacements on the Centenary Way at Jeffry Bog, Westow have been completed and all sections have now been renewed with a longer lasting recycled plastic version. HHNL have funded the installation of waymark posts across the area where previous request has been received from members of the public. Planning for 2025/26 we hope to continue to work with the HHNL to deliver works on the network, including the improvement of the Centenary Way.

11.5 A59 Kex Gill. Work is continuing to realign the A59 through Kex Gill at Blubberhouses which has been prone to land slips and closures over the years. The new road will largely follow the route of bridleway 15.14/5, which will be diverted to run alongside. The old road will be mostly stopped up apart from sections at either end that will be downgraded to restricted byways to link with UURs on Blubberhouses Moor to the south of the road. Underpasses to allow non-motorised users to pass under the new road will be provided at either end of the scheme. Further information can be found at https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/roads-parking-and-travel/major-transport-schemes-and-plans/a59-kex-gill-re-alignment

11.6 Ripon Riverbank Repairs. Reconstruction works were completed in July 2024 on the bank of the River Skell in Ripon, where a popular Public Footpath was closed due to erosion significantly narrowing the available route.

13.0 Volunteer report

13.1     There are currently 119 volunteers within the Countryside Access Service. In 2024-25 the service recruited 23 new volunteers, and 12 left, leaving a net increase of 11.

13.2 The main role of the volunteers is to inspect issues where further information is required before the PROW Officers can act. Sometimes the volunteers can resolve the issue whilst they are there – for example waymarking, or clearing vegetation from around a stile, gate, bridge, or signpost. The volunteers also help by erecting legal notices, such as for path closures, orders or DMMOs.

13.3 In 2024/25, the volunteers carried out 896 inspections of issues on the PROW and UUR network, resolved 56 issues themselves and contributed to the resolution of 739 issues by the CAS Maintenance Team. In total, the volunteers gave 2212 hours of their time.

13.4 In addition, our volunteers have been tasked with surveying all 2120 bridges recorded on the PROW network so that we better understand their current condition and improve how we target future maintenance.  554 bridges have been inspected in 2024/5, and only 37 were found to require additional maintenance – which remains a low proportion of those checked.

13.5 Path Keeper groups are community groups who work semi-autonomously in their area to help maintain their local paths. There are currently 31 groups signed up to our Path Keeper scheme, although some are more active than others.

13.6 In 2024/25 Path Keeper groups contributed 1681 hours in helping to maintain the Public Rights of Way network. This included work such as repairing gates; clearing away fly tipping and litter; clearing overgrown vegetation and fallen trees; and repairing and clearing out drainage channels.

13.7

Our most active Path Keeper group continues to be the Probation Service and their Community Payback scheme. Over the year 2024/25, they contributed 1086 hours, which is 29 full time weeks’ worth of work. The Trail Riders Fellowship is another of our very active groups, contributing 319 hours (another 8.5 weeks) across the county on the UUR network- clearing vegetation, improving drainage, and repairing gates.
