(Decision taken is detailed within the Scheme of Delegation in the Council’s Constitution.)

Reason(s) for Decisions:

The proposed diversion meets the legal criteria set out in the Town and Country Planning

Act 1990.

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.

Accordingly, the absence of objections may be taken as acceptance that the proposed

diversion is expedient and therefore Dorset Council can itself confirm the order.
