Schedule 7: Ascertainment of rights of way Transfer of application for order modifying the definitive map
641.Paragraph 12 is a new measure that enables a person who has made an application for an order modifying the definitive map to transfer ownership of that application, at any time before the application is decided, to another named person, who would then be treated as the applicant. This measure reduces a burden on the voluntary sector by providing that where an applicant is unable to pursue an application the work they have already done will not have to be undertaken again from scratch.
