Agenda item

The Board considered a joint report of the Chief Executive and the Director of Environment and Transport, a copy of which, marked ‘Agenda Item 7’, is filed with these minutes.

It was noted that there was a typographical error in the report on page 20 paragraph 83 where it should have stated that Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council had been consulted with, not Harborough District Council. 

In response to a question from a member the Director of Environment and Transport stated that consideration would be given to what mitigation measures could be put in place to minimise the impact of the footpath on the properties adjacent to the footpath and protect the safety of the nearby residents.

RESOLVED:

That an Order be made under the provisions of Section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to add a Public Footpath to the Definitive Map between Sketchley Lane and Public Footpath T34 in the village of Raftcliffe Culey in the Parish of Witherley as shown on Plan No. M1109P attached as Appendix A to the report.

REASON FOR DECISION:

The application satisfies the relevant statutory criteria because the evidence shows that a Footpath subsists or is reasonably alleged to subsist along the route claimed.
