Protecting a History Highway/Right of Way from possessory title

A possessory title has been granted to a landowner on ground that has been a highway for over 200 years.&#160; The route now has blocked access at the land covered by the possessory title.&#160; &#160;It was regularly walked by locals before the way was blocked.<br> <br> How can I object to the obstruction of the highway?&#160;&#160;<br> <br> This route is a green lane and was not adopted as a road in the 1920s.&#160; The Ramblers have made a strong case to the local council for the route to be recognised as Byway.&#160; How can I object to the&#160;possessory title or at the very minimum ensure the lands right of use&#160;as a highway is preserved in any full grant of title?&#160;
