A modification of the definitive map was sought, to widen a footpath and declare it a bridleway. The landowner had erected a notice in 1975 denying any public right of way, but the inspector had thought it of no effect.
Held: The declaration in the notice of a ‘Private Road’ was consistent with whatever rights there were being interpreted by the public as a roadway. The claim failed.
