Decision:

That:

a)    The Dorset County Council (Footpaths 34 and 35, Portland) Public Path Stopping Up and Diversion Order 2014 be formally abandoned;

Reasons for the decision:

a)    The Dorset County Council (Footpaths 34 and 35, Portland) Public Path Stopping Up and Diversion Order 2014 cannot be confirmed by Dorset Council due to objections received to the Order. The applicant has submitted a new application to divert both footpaths, and a new Order was made in 2022, and was confirmed in 2024. Therefore, there is no requirement for the 2014 Order to be confirmed as the footpaths have been diverted under the 2022 Order.
