New vehicle access onto a bridleway - is planning required

[HolzKopf]

We've got existing vehicle access from a yard onto our own farm roadway, a few hundred years old. The road which then turns into a narrower track is a bridleway. If we wanted to put an additional entry / exit 50m further down through a widish verge (admittedly where the roadway becomes a narrower stoned track - but still busy public r.o.w) do we need planning permission?
Would like to know before approaching council's planners - so I don't put my foot in it
Anyone know please?

You're only allowed to drive a vehicle on a bridleway in order to access property/land.

Sounds like you'd be well within your rights.

Forgiveness is easier to seek than permission

If you are the occupier of the land, of course you can drive a vehicle on your footpath or bridleway. It's other people who can't.

Only need planning for a new entrance on a classified road so you're fine, just do it
