I find that quite often it helps to pull up the historic map layers. Here is a screenshot showing the route of the "road" as shown on OS 25k 1st series map:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B6J5ZA1hu93bOXEtZE1XY01zcEE (I'll try to keep this up online for a few months) The local authority would simply have used this existing route diagonally across the field. The farmer on the other hand drives his tractor in paths parallel to the northern hedge, and hence the diagonal route is no longer visible on the ground. In this example, it is up to you what you do. I would: * recognise that the diversion is not that long, and that the original "road" will likely have been ploughed up anyway * therefore accept the farmers change and write to the Local Authority suggesting that they update their records with the new route.
