If you check the source tag he attempted to put the source as this:
http://map.n-somerset.gov.uk/publicrightsofway.html

Some believe this cannot be used in OSM as it's been overlaid on OS background map. I'm not convinced, but the point is moot as it is freely available in isolation & in various electronic formats as stated in previous posts.

However they're not that accurate & should really only be used as a guide for on the ground surveying & confirmation of their designation.

I couldn't see a changeset comment. Have you contacted him?

Anyone know whether "definitive maps" are suitable as sources for OSM?

I'm seeing a lot of edits today by the same author that have comments about "the definitive map", e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/37850221

There are URLs for the source, but they don't seem to be valid?

Cheers,
Neil
