I think this is what misled me (from Wilkipedia)
England and Wales are thought to have about 40,000 private roadsI][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed"][COLOR=#0000ff]citation needed[/COLOR][/URL][/I. They are not normally the responsibility of the local authority, but the authority may provide services such as street lighting (e.g. Avenue Rise, Bushey, Hertfordshire). They normally have to be maintained by residents. They are referred to as unadopted roads because they have not gone through the statutory process of adoption, for example under Highways Act 1980 s37 or s38. Even if not expressly or implicitly dedicated for public use, public use over time may nonetheless have created public rights of way; though by Part 6 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006, in force from 2 May 2006, many public rights of way for motor vehicles in private roads have now been extinguished.FREEDOM IS NOT FREE0 -
Wiki is really not the best place to source legal information.....0

Might be another way to look at this - if there are a lot of lorries going up & down the road to the end piece of land then it sounds like a business is being run from there. Is a business registered there? If not - do the council not need to know about such things?
I am no expert on this but it was just a thought......Debts 07/12/2021

Good point and even if it is a bona-fide business- does it have an operators license for that specific address
If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs, its just possible you haven't grasped the situation0
