)The Rights-of-Way Officer has provided the following advice:
The accepted width of the bridleway would be the full existing width based on the public's use and enjoyment of this full width over time.
The demolition/removal of any of the existing buildings (particularly any with brick walls) may require a temporary closure of the public bridleway whilst work is carried out. This will be needed, unless the buildings can be removed internally and the public can continue to use the public bridleway at all times without obstruction, inconvenience and in safety. At least 6 weeks' notice of any temporary closure application is required and there are costs involved. Details are on our website but can also be provided by email on request. Even if a temporary closure of the path is not needed, a scaffold licence may be needed if it is intended to place any scaffolding within or over the public bridleway during demolition or construction works. Again, this must be applied for and there will be costs payable. Further details again available on request.
Any damage caused to the surface of the bridleway by any demolition or construction work or access by vehicles associated with the development must be made good by the development. If resurfacing is required, this must be a suitable surface, ideally similar to the existing.
Any planting adjacent to the boundary should be of a suitable species and set back from the boundary line so that it does not encroach over the public bridleway over time. Consideration should be given to the condition and long term maintenance responsibility for any existing trees.The Rights-of-Way Officer has provided the following advice:

)Photographic Building Recording
To assist in the required pre-agreement of a pre-works photographic building record, both applicant and applicant's agent should be advised that the core document for recording standards Understanding Historic Buildings: a guide to good recording practice (Historic England 2016) is available as a Pdf download from the Historic England website (NB: use full document title to search Historic England publications). When requested to do so, the Local Planning Authority will confirm requirements for the content and level of detail for the pre-works photographic record directly from this core document. Details submitted subsequently for Local Planning Authority pre-agreement should include details of intended final record format, and this format should be suitable for direct incorporation into the Central Bedfordshire Historic Environment Record (HER), which the Council maintains.Photographic Building Recording

)Materials and finishes
-Weatherboard cladding - To assist in the correct selection of external materials and finishes, both applicant and applicant's agent should be advised of the traditional standard dimensions for traditional weatherboard, namely 175mm (7') board width with sectional thicknesses of 25mm (1') at the lower, exposed edge, tapering down to 6mm (1/4') at the top edge.
Black stain or black tar paint are both acceptable finishes.
-Window and door joinery a paint, not stain, finish is accepted best practice. Hardwood framing (oak, elm) may be either painted or left to weather naturally. Softwood should always be painted, and for window and door insertions a gloss black finish, or 'Heritage Range' pastel green or grey finish, is the most effective colour finish to convey the muted paint finishes typical of traditional outbuildings.Materials and finishes
