Re: Re: right of way access

One for the planning matters forum;

There is no clear answer to this without having a solicitor examine both sets of title documents but the answer would be based upon firstly if the percieved ‘right of way is registered on your title deeds or land folio and secondly if it is registered what right of way actually exists i.e. is it the right to escourt livestock and animals accross a grass field or boreen or is it a proper laneway with the right to move carts, carriages and or motor propelled vehicles.

If the passage in question is not surfaced and is not registered it would probably be very difficult for the farmer to claim an upgrade to drive the vehicles necessary to run a rural commuting residence.
