Opposed Public Footpath No. 35.7/5 Beal Diversion Order 2024

Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Environment

Decision status: For Determination

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

Approved submission of the Order to the Secretary of State for a decision on whether or not it should
be confirmed.

The Authority supports the confirmation of the Order.

Reasons for the decision:

The proposed Order route will provide a diverted route which would replicate the likely route of an Order
had one been made under s257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1981 (TCPA) at the time planning permission was granted for extension
of the building which led to obstruction of the path.

The making of the Order is in the public interest to allow continued use of the existing footpath without
obstruction and it is expedient to make an order to resolve the issue and without which the footpath
would remain obstructed.

Alternative options considered:

An alternative diversion has been considered which runs across a section of land owned by the Parish Council. The Parish Council have declined to agree to that route crossing their land.
