It means you’ll never be able to lock your garden securely. Working on the house won’t be a problem as you can temporarily reroute it around any works you need to conduct.
If it no longer runs anywhere and is just access, you might be able to have the public right of way removed which would allow lockable access gates just for the neighbours who need to retain right of access. You’d need a lawyer to look into that.

Is it used? We used to have right of access through our garden, which was mid terrace. There was a gate in the fence on either side, but I padlocked them and no one ever used them in the five years that we lived there.

It could be this is one of those technicalities that turns out to be a non issue

People probably would’ve found it difficult to use a padlocked gate.

Were insurers concerned by this? I wonder if they might bump prices up if I technically have a footpath running through my potential garden
