Reason
for Decision
Under
the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 local authorities have powers to make
orders to create, extinguish or divert public rights of way. The Council may
make an order to divert or stopping-up of any footpath, bridleway or restricted
byway under section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 if it is
satisfied that it is necessary to do so in order to allow development to be
carried out in accordance with planning permission granted under Part III of
the Act.
It
is considered that the proposed diversion meets the criteria set down in the
Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and that the proposed route is an acceptable
alternative. No objections were received
during the statutory period to allow for responses. The Authority is empowered
by section 259 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to confirm an unopposed
order.
