Public path orders

A landowner or member of the public can apply for a public path order (PPO) to create, extinguish or divert a footpath, bridleway or restricted byway - any application to alter an existing public right of way must meet the strict tests set out in the relevant legislation.  

Apply for a PPO.  Please note that there is a fee associated with such  applications  and that any application is open to consultation which means it can be a lengthy process.

As surveying authority, MK City Council keeps a register of public paths orders:
