Reasons
for Decision
a)
The proposed extinguishment and diversion meet the legal criteria set
out in the Highways Act 1980.
b)
The inclusion of these provisions in public path orders means that
there is no need for separate legal event orders to modify the definitive map
and statement as a result of the extinguishment and diversion.
c)
Accordingly, the absence of objections may be taken as acceptance that
the proposed extinguishment and diversion are expedient and therefore Dorset
Council can itself confirm the Order.
