The council decided to maintain the status of the road. As of March 2013, the designation of this route as a BOAT (Byway Open to All Traffic) was being contested by the parish council, who intended to apply for a Traffic Regulation Order to apply to the right-of-way.
The council chose to maintain the current status of the road while facing opposition from the parish council who sought to regulate the right-of-way through a Traffic Regulation Order.
