How this service works
What Gazetted helps you do from source document to organised record
Build or upload
Enter or extract the authority, path type, order stage, route description, parish and objection details.
Check the stage
Gazetted flags missing fields and shows exact artwork for a notice of making. Confirmation drafts pause before publication-ready artwork.
Choose and place
Place a supported notice of making. Save a confirmation draft in Applications for assisted review before any quote, publication booking or payment.
Track objections and evidence
Keep deposited-document, objection, referral and confirmation tasks in Applications, with maps, artwork and publisher evidence in Documents.
Gazetted prompts for the details this workflow needs and flags missing required fields. You remain responsible for the application, the selected publication route and any legal or professional review.

The legal requirement
Under the Highways Act 1980 (Sections 26, 118, and 119) and the Public Path Orders Regulations 1993 (SI 1993/11), an authority making a public path order must publish notice in at least one local newspaper circulating in the area where the path is situated.
This requirement applies to creation orders (new paths), diversion orders (altering the route of existing paths), and extinguishment orders (removing paths from the definitive map).
The notice must describe the effect of the order, state where the order and map can be inspected, and specify the period within which objections may be made.
