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.

In accordance with the procedure for making representations to the Board, Mrs. J. Allen (Quenby Hall) spoke as the applicant and Mr. G. Barnett (local resident) spoke against the proposals.

Mr. I. E. G. Bentley CC proposed a motion that the officer’s recommendation in the report be approved and it was seconded by Mr. T. Gillard CC. The motion was put and carried; with 6 members voting for and 6 against and the Chairman then used his casting vote in support of the officer’s recommendation.  

RESOLVED:

That an Order be made to divert the Bridleways D6 and D43 at Quenby Hall as shown on the Plan no. 2483/P appended to the report.

REASON FOR DECISION:

The application to divert the paths as it relates to Bridleway D6 and D43 satisfies the relevant statutory criteria set out under the provisions of the S119 of the Highways Act 1980. It is in the interests of the occupier and the alternative route is not substantially less convenient and would not have a significant negative effect on public enjoyment of the path as a whole.
