For Public RIghts of Way, it is highly unlikely that this structure has been authorised by the Highways Authority.
Restrictions on PRoW should meet British Standards ( http://www.pittecroft.org.uk/5709.pdf) and be compliant with the Equality Act (2010). AFAIK landowners wanting to erect new furniture along a Public RIght of Way will need to apply for S 147 (Highways Act '80). My first port of call for this would be to report as an obstruction to the path to the local council. Not been around here long enough to say how they should be tagged, but thought it worth throwing this out there.
