I wish they would adopt this policy in Yorkshire because I for one wouldn't mind the slight inconvenience of an application rather than full closure.

Agreed but they are public right of ways and have been for thousands of years. They should be open to everyone not just permit holders. If the locals are being disturbed by unruly elements then that's a case of lack of enforcement, not a valid reason for excluding law abbiding travellers without the relevant chit.
