BBE Introduction

Welcome to the Blue Book Extra (BBE) website. These pages have been created to assist readers of Rights of Way: a guide to law and practice.

The fourth edition was published on 31 May 2007, and throughout the text of the book we refer readers to BBE for links or downloads to publications, the full text of court judgments, etc.

In addition, supplements to the text of the fourth edition are included in the page for each chapter, and will be amended as and when there are changes to the law or new guidance is issued.
