SECTION 53 WILDLIFE AND COUNTRYSIDE ACT 1981

THE LONDON BOROUGH OF HARINGEY DEFINITIVE MAP AND STATEMENT WEST ORDER 2007

The above Order made on 16 May 2007, if confirmed as made, will make the Definitive Map and Statement for the area by adding the footpaths:

Durnsford Road to Park Road; Crescent Rise to Albert Road; Creighton Avenue to Barrenger Road; Lynmouth Road to Fortis Green; Eastern Road to Western Road known as Harwell Passage; Lauradale Road to Keynes Close; Grand Avenue/Collingwood Avenue to Lauradale Road; Muswell Hill Road to Muswell Hill known as Parkland Walk; Lanchester Road to Muswell Hill Road; Fordington Road to Southern Road known as Indigo Walk; Park Avenue North to North View Road; Abbeville Road to Park Avenue South; Wood Vale to Park Road; Wood Vale to Queens Wood Road; Shepherds Hill to Priory Gardens; rear of 46 Holmesdale Road to rear of 6 Haslemere Road known as Parkland Walk; rear of 33 Mount Pleasant Villas to Finsbury Park known as Parkland Walk; adjacent 271 Archway Road to rear of 351 Archway Road; North Hill to Talbot Road known as Park House Passage; Southwood Lane to North Hill known as Park Walk; Cholmeley Crescent to Southwood Lawn Road known as Peacock Walk; Hornsey Lane to Winchester Road known as Tile Kiln Lane.

A copy of the Order and map may be seen free of charge at 639 High Road, Tottenham N17 8BD and Wood Green Library, 187-197 a High Road N22 6XD from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm Monday to Friday.

Objections or representations relating to the Order must be made in writing not later than 6 July 2007, to Malcolm Smith, Team Leader Transportation Planning, Ground Floor, 639 High Road, Tottenham N17 8BD.

To be relevant, objections or representations should relate to the question of the existence or status of rights of way. Other objections or representations (eg relating to privacy, security or amenity) may be held to be irrelevant. Haringey Council will be willing to discuss the concerns of those considering objecting or making representations relating to the Order.

The right of objection to an Order is a statutory right, but it should be exercised in a reasonable manner. The costs involved in dealing with objections to Orders are normally awarded against objectors only in cases of unreasonable behaviour.

If there are no objections to the Order, or if any are withdrawn, Haringey Council may confirm the Order, and the Definitive Map and Statement will then be made. If there are any objections which are not withdrawn, Haringey Council must refer the Order and objections to the Department for Communities and Local Government who will appoint an independent inspector to consider the Order and hear the objections, normally by holding a public inquiry. Alternatively, the matter may be determined through written representations or a hearing. The inspector may confirm the Order, with or without modifications, or may decide that the Order should not be confirmed.

Public footpaths and bridleways are recorded on Definitive Maps and Statements. These maps and statements provide conclusive legal evidence of the existence of public rights of way. They do not create or extinguish any public rights, they simply recognise the public rights of way that Haringey Council believe already exist. Haringey Council is responsible for making the Definitive Map in its area and has a duty to amend it when evidence suggests that it is inaccurate or incomplete. Haringey Council is in the process of making the first Definitive Map and Statement for its area by making 3 Orders (relating to the East, the West and the Central areas of the borough) under section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
