Evidence found during first inspection in June 2007, following receipt of application, of barbed wire and notice denying access to the claimed paths. A year earlier, the landowner deposited a plan and statutory declaration to Gloucestershire County Council under s31(6) Highways Act denying that this path had been dedicated.
Close up of the sign denying access to the public in June 2007.
Inspection of September 2015 showing obstructed path at point A. The s31(6) plan and statutory declaration deposited in 2006 acted as a rebuttal of highway rights at this time. The following photos were taken to merely record the physical features of the paths.
Close up of previous photo – path obstructed by tree stumps and barbed wire. It appears that access has been gained to the side but again this is rebutted by the s31(6) deposit.
Character of the path – wide enough to accommodate all types of user.
Junction of claimed path with Public Footpath CST36 at point B.
Sign on tree between points C & D deny access to the path.
Gate with side bridleway gate at the landownership boundary between points C & D.
Old rusted padlock on the bridleway gate which does not appear to have been used for years.
