Summary

The Definitive Map and Statement (DMS) are the legal documents that record Public Rights Of Way (PROW).

The existence of a path on the DMS is conclusive evidence in law that a PROW exists. If a path is not shown it does not mean that it is not public, it may carry public rights but they are not yet recorded or formalised.

The Definitive Map and Statement show:

  • public footpaths – PROW for pedestrians plus usual accompaniments (eg dog under close control, pushchair)
  • public bridleways – PROW for pedestrians, horse riders and pedal cyclists plus usual accompaniments
  • restricted byways – PROW for pedestrians, horse riders, pedal cyclists and non-motorised vehicles (eg horse drawn carriages) but not for motor vehicles, plus usual accompaniments
  • byways open to all traffic (BOATS) - PROW for all including motorised vehicles. Most have an unmade surface and may not be easily passable in poor weather

This is the working copy of our Definitive Map of Public Rights Of Way in Sheffield. It is not the Definitive Map, it is not a legal document and cannot be relied on as such. Public Rights Of Way should be used at a maximum scale of 1:10,000.
