Modification orders register
Authorities now need to record all applications which have been
made and not determined by the surveying authority under Schedule

date" of 31 December 2005, regardless of when the application was
received.
Below is a brief outline of
the definitive map modification applications received and the
status of these orders. The information may also be viewed at our
council offices at Green Lane, Heywood after making arrangements
with the Rights of Way Officer.
