Consultation process
• An executor of a trust that owns land
over which the route runs responded to the consultation supporting
a restricted byway on the basis of improving safe access and
creating a wildlife corridor.
• The Ramblers Associaton supported the application on the
basis of Crookland Lane being considered historically a privately
maintained public highway (RT) and supplost the BHS
application.
• The British Horse Society and Byways and Bridleways Trust
also responded supporting the application.
• Several adjacent landowners to Crookland Lane have objected
to the application on the basis of the lane surface being
unsuitable, traffic disruption and conflicting uses and safety
concerns.
• A directly affected landowner has submitted an objection
stating that the inclosure awarded route did not cover the whole
application route and that the evidence provided does not meet the
higher legal test needed to change the definitive status of the
route. The objection was supplied with Haxby Manorial records and a
conveyance which shows land described in the Inclosure Award.
• Haxby Town Council has also objected to the application on
the basis of a lack of established use or supporting evidence and
the impacts to farms on Crossmoor Lane.
