Don't ask him to look at his deeds. Generally it turns nasty between neighbours. Seen it too many times where it makes living with these people very difficult.
Just go to the council and voice your concerns. Because you don't own the property, your job is much easier. If you owned the property then it would be a case of small claims court with a land surveyor fighting your side.
If it goes to a court, the council will have a strong case against him because there the council (unfair right?!). Then again they might strike an agreement with him which basically means he gets the land but had to maintain the pathway for public access. This doesn't mean anyone is entitled to walk up it. Just means basically it's his path but it has to be maintained for your use.
