If correctly presented PROW are fine.
This includes PROW.
If it’s just a short passageway down the side of some houses that is not really enough .
However if it goes past the houses, continues on perhaps into woodland then that starts to look ok.
Each PROW is officially recorded, legally protected, and has a number to distinguish it.
I would expect a description to say something about what I would see if I walked it - explain its value.
If the proposer simply says it’s a footpath that’s going to not be a good description and is likely to be rejected.
There are usually local websites but a very good database is
I have a tab open so I can easily check.
Bridleways are footpaths that also allow horses so they are fine.
When assessing I don’t set the bar any higher than I would for any other nomination so I don’t expect perfection, but do want it to be reasonable, good enough.
