Reasons
for Decision
a)
The proposed diversion and creation meet the legal criteria set out in
the Highways Act 1980.
b)
The inclusion of these provisions in a public path 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 and creation.
c)
Accordingly, the absence of objectors may be taken as acceptance that
the proposed diversion and creation are expedient and therefore Dorset Council
can itself confirm the orders.
Alternative
options considered and rejected
None.
