Rowden Mill Bridleway

This is an update on the situation regarding the bridleway received on 19th June 2024:

I am happy to update you on Definitive Map Modification Order (DMMO) T721.

Following an objection, the Order needed to be submitted to the Secretary of States Planning Inspectorate (PINS) for determination. Dorset Council was able to submit the DMMO in March 2024. We are aware that PINS is managing a backlog of DMMO cases and Dorset Council is now awaiting notification from PINS that they have allocated the case to an Inspector.

Ultimately this means that the Order has not yet been determined.

I hope this helps clarify the current situation regarding DMMO T721 for Bridleway 33.

Kind regards

Sue

DMMO T721 - Dorset Council

The County Council will publish an Order reflecting this decision in due course and a Notice will be erected on site and appear in the press. The Notice will give you details of how you can, if you wish, make a representation or object to the Order. If there are no objections within the prescribed period the Order can be confirmed. However, if there are objections the matter will be referred to the Secretary of State for determination, either by written representations, public hearing or public inquiry.

For a modification order, the tests are solely about whether the evidence does or does not justify the change to the definitive map contained in the order. The Secretary of State has the power to disregard irrelevant objections.
