text: Hi, thanks for your note.
  Do you mean this section https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=graphhopper_foot&route=51.86097%2C-0.10858%3B51.86113%2C-0.10824 ?
  On our map that section is tagged as a bridleway  https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=bridleway , does that make sense to you?
  With paved do you mean the surface is asphalt/tarmac?
  What about this gate instead https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/608607225 ? is that always open?
  are there signs to forbid pedestrians/cyclists to ride on it?
  thanks
