For my take on permissive, the best example I can think of is rural
properties where you need to literally drive through private farms
to get to your destination (which is usually another farm).
those usually aren't permissive (at least in the areas that I know
of), instead there is usually a right of way (the owner of the land
that has to be crossed _has the obligation_ to let the other
(including postman, visitors, etc.) pass his property (this is often
something that is written in the land register). "Permissive" on the
other hand would mean that the owner could revoke the right to pass
his ground any time.
I'm not sure about their legal right to "revoke" access -
especially if the only way in/out of your farm is to cross theirs,
so they may have a legal obligation to always permit access.

Hi Martin,
Okay that explains it very well. I have a friend with a farm who
explained a little to me and the obligation makes perfect sense. But
would you tag such ways as "private" or just leave them as default
access? Farms aside, I struggle to think of examples of permissive
ways. The only thing I can think of is something like a pedestrian
shortcut across a golf course, or a pedestrian way through an arcade
or shopping centre.
