Decision details

Decision:

a)    The application to divert part of Footpath 93, Thorncombe at Vembury Farm be accepted and an order made;

b)    The Order include provisions to modify the definitive map and statement to record the changes made as a consequence of the diversion; and

c)    If the Order is unopposed, and is considered to meet the legal tests it be confirmed by the Council.

a)    The proposed diversions meet 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 diversion is considered expedient and therefore Dorset Council can itself confirm the order.
