Reasons
for Decisions
(a) The proposed diversion meets the legal
criteria set out in the Highways Act 1980.
(b) The inclusion of these provisions in a public
path order means that there is no need for a separate legal event order to
modify the definitive map and statement as a result of the diversion.
(c) Accordingly, the absence of objections may be
taken as acceptance that the proposed new route is expedient and therefore
Dorset Council can itself confirm the Order and need not submit the Order to
the Planning Inspectorate.
