if a track is marked on my RPA maps, is it official ?

[Hesstondriver]

A field access roadway is marked on my RPA maps, (marked as a track) it is predominantly soil not a made up road way. do i need to make a PD / prior notification to put a proper stone roadway in ?
unfortunately it is not suitable for JFDI if there is any doubt as a nosey parker complained a few years ago !!

Their maps are interesting.

apparnantoy some partridge release pens in our woods are new buikdings and a white plastic sheeting left in a gateway is now a bit of access road

I had a track marked on a map. It was a tramline

Any carry weight with ir against and planning etc etc

I think it is down to OS. We had run down a tramline numerous times to get to another field, that year it appeared on the latest OS Map as a track and then on the RPA maps.
We just worked it up and replanted it, it's not on the maps now!

I met some guy with a clip board warndering around in a neighbour's field so politely asked him if he was lost. He introduced himself as working for the Ordnace Survey department as one of their bods employed to check out questionable items, that turn up on aerial survey, on the ground. Their maps are an indication only and have limited legal significance.

This back fired on me because I pointed out a ditch on the plan (on my neighbour's land) was redundant. Next time the map came out, the "ditch" was missing. Then, of course, there was a rare flood and the ditch. if existing, would have been of some use. It has since been ploughed out. Such is life. Should have kept my mouth shut!

thanks,

ive now put in prior notification for a new track , on top of a track marked on the rpa map . The track is just mud so needs stoneing etc. Unfortunately its not JFDI as the neighbors have a server case of busybodyitus

I wouldn't trust the RPA to map the A1.

Those mobile phone coverage maps are the same, field tracks and tramlines all over the place, no idea I had so many access roads.

We have marked traks through most fields!! They were just where silage trailers had been running back and forth...

I have pond in one field. Cultivated and drilled every year with a tramline going through it.
I also have a 2m wide hedge that is classed as woodland.

To follow up, that field has since been reseeded....and guess what. The area around here the 'ditch' was ploughed out is now flooded! No need to listen to me as I've only been here for 40 years!

I've been here 39 years but everybody else knows better, even if I am stood looking at it.
