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.

The left-hand navigation panel mirrors the contents of the book, so just click on the relevant chapter and scroll down to the right page number.

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. The What's New section below lists changes made recently. A cumulative supplement can be downloaded below for ease of printing to keep with the book, as can a list of corrections.
