To consider a report from the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services, which asksthe Committee to determine whether the available evidence is sufficient for a public right of way to be recorded on the Definitive Map in Longparish.

The Committee considered a report from the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services (item 7 in the minute book) regarding an application for a bridleway in Longparish.

The officer introduced the item and summarised the application as presented in the report, and it was confirmed that the 20 year period being looked at was 1973 - 1993. Significant use had been put forward as evidence, particularly that of horse riders and cyclists.

It was confirmed that the Middleton Estate had put forward an objection, but many challenges to the use had been done since 1996, so were not relevant to the application and time period being considered.

The Committee was satisfied with the report and supporting evidence.

RESOLVED

Authority was given for the making of a Definitive Map Modification Order to record a Bridleway, 3.5 metres in width over the section of the claimed route that travels over the existing Andover Footpath 68, 3metres over the rest of the route which is not currently recorded as a right of way, as shown between points A - B in Appendix C to the report.
