At every inquiry and hearing we ask those persons attending to provide limited personal contact information to help us with the efficient running of the inquiry/hearing. Completion of the form is voluntary.
This form has recently been revised so that it no longer asks those attending whether they wish to be sent a copy of the decision. The form simply advises that all decisions will be published on the Planning Portal site at www.planningportal.gov.uk/pcs. However we will continue to send a copy the decision to all the parties to an order including those who appear and give evidence and to anyone else who requests one.
To locate our rights of way decisions from the above link, you will need to select the 'Countryside, Access and Environmental Casework' option on the right-hand side of the page. From there you can access the main Rights of Way pages and then our 'Online Rights of Way Cases'. You can then either click on the link to view a list of published order decisions in date order or search for the Order Making Authority using the alphabetical list.
