The Highways Act can lead to a right of way being claimed over your land or development. The law in respect of highways is both ancient and modern. The principles involved are regularly misunderstood both by highways authorities and the public. We advise regularly upon the issues surrounding Section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, and Section 31 of the Highways Act 1980 and can ensure that our planning law expertise is used to your advantage.
