Decision details

That:

a)    The application to divert part of Footpath 3, Bryanston 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, it be confirmed by the Council.

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

a)    The proposed diversion meets the legal criteria set out in the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

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 expedient and therefore Dorset Council can itself confirm the order.

Alternative route for diversion was discussed but rejected as it was less accessible.
