There are some successes
The following are extracts from the decision of a Public Inquiry in Derbyshire in February 2010
In effect it gives the rights of way movement nothing new, other than more certainty, in that the route was an ORPA and is now a BOAT, but it does prove that the NERC Act has not hit everything and it is still possible for a Public Inquiry ti find in our favour.
Order Ref: FPS/U1050/7/50
This Order is made under Section 53 (2) (b) of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (the 1981 Act) and is known as the Derbyshire County Council (Byway Open to All Traffic from Moor Road to Castlegate Lane - Parishes of Great Longstone and Little Longstone)
Modification Order 2008.
The Order is dated 22nd May 2008 and there were 16 objections outstanding at the commencement of the inquiry.
The Order proposes to modify the Definitive Map and Statement for the area by adding to it a Byway Open to All Traffic (BOAT) as shown in the Order plan and described in the Order Schedule.
The full decision of the enquiry and a map showing and relating to the RoW can be seen at:-

Silly Dale UCR
Derbyshire police have asked that we inform all our members that the Silly Dale UCR in Grindlow, Derbyshire (map ref SK181764) has now been determined as a bridleway with NO motor vehicle rights. This order has been confirmed after 2 separate public inquiries, and there is little we can do to dispute the order further.
Although there are no proper Bridleway signs in place at present, please don't use this lane in a motor vehicle in future (it is nice for a walk, though you will seldom, if ever, see a horse being ridden down there!).
