R (Warden and Fellows of Winchester College and another) v Hampshire County Council [2008] EWCA Civ 431; [2008] WLR (D) 132

The formal requirements governing the making of an application to modify a definitive map and statement under s 53(5) of, and para 3 of Sch 14 to, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, which were contained in para 1 of Sch 14, had to be adhered to strictly. Where such an application was found to be invalid, certain rights ostensibly extinguished under s 67(1) of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 were not apt to be saved by virtue of s 67(3) of the 2006 Act since the latter provision was predicated upon a valid application.”
