Here in England and Wales, permissive footpaths and permissive
bridleways are useful additions to the countryside access network. I
recently discovered and mapped some that have been established by the
organisation Natural England. They are often used to link existing
Public Rights of Way (PROWs), and extend access in areas with fewer
PROWs. They are not mapped on Ordnance Survey maps, probably due to
their potential non-permanent status. So having them surveyed and
mapped in OSM is a useful addition to PROW data, as information about
them is not easy to find.
So please continue to render them if they are tagged as described in:
