The application to divert part of Footpath 29, Shillingstone at Ham Farm accepted, and an order made and modify the definitive map and statement to record the changes made as a consequence of the diversion. If the order is unopposed, it will be confirmed by the council.

The proposed diversion meets the legal criteria set out in the Highways Act 1980.

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.
