Lead officer: Carolyn Williamson
Decision Maker: Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services
Decision published: 24/03/2020
Effective from: 10/03/2020
Decision:
1.1. Hampshire County Council has received an
offer for the dedication of public footpath rights on land known as
‘Top Field’. The offer has been made by Drew Smith
Homes Ltd, which owns the land over which the routes run. The
dedications will provide links to and between other footpaths
recently recorded through diversion orders made by Winchester City
Council (WCC) under Section 257 of the Town and Country Planning
Act 1990. The routes to be dedicated, which are shown on the
accompanying Location Map, will be dedicated under Section 25
Highways Act 1980, and will be 1.5 metres wide.
1.2. The diversion orders made by WCC realigned public rights that
were due to be recorded by Hampshire County Council via a
Definitive Map Modification Order (DMMO). Approval for the DMMO was
given by the County Council’s Regulatory Committee in October
2019, but the need to realign some of these routes to accommodate
proposed development resulted in a diversion order being made by
WCC (in its capacity as planning authority) in December 2019. This
order was confirmed on 2 March 2020.
1.3. The alignment of the footpaths to be dedicated mirror some of
the routes that were approved at the Regulatory Committee meeting
of October 2019. Because the landowner was content to accommodate
these routes through the development site there was no need for
them to be included in WCC’s diversion order, and the
landowner has agreed to dedicate these routes voluntarily. The
routes will therefore no longer need to be recorded via a DMMO (two
other routes that sit outside the boundary of the development site
will still need to be recorded by a DMMO in due course).
1.4. Since the dedications compliment the WCC orders by linking the
diverted routes, and given the need to expedite the dedications so
the completed network can be recorded on the definitive map as soon
as possible, no fresh consultation has taken place. However, the
proposals for the realignment of the claimed routes on the site
were consulted upon by the landowner and WCC late in 2019 prior to
the making of the s257 order, and no objections were submitted in
respect of these proposals at the time.

Decision published: 24/03/2020
Effective from: 17/03/2020
Decision:
This is a proposal for the dedication of
public footpath rights in Kilmeston, under Section 25 Highway Act
1980. The new route will run south-east of the definitive line of
Kilmeston Footpath 1. It is also proposed that authority is given
for an extinguishment order to be made under section 118 of the
Highways Act 1980 for that part of the definitive line of Footpath
1 that will no longer needed for public use as a result of the
dedication. Both the dedication route and the proposed
extinguishment are shown on the accompanying plan.

Decision published: 24/03/2020
Effective from: 17/03/2020
Decision:
Hampshire County Council proposes to enter
into a creation agreement with the Secretary of State for Defence
under Common Law to record public bridleway rights between the
junction of South Wonston Restricted Byways 703 and 730 and
Headbourne Worthy Restricted Byway 10 (as shown on the attached
map). The route is already on the ground and in use. It is also
proposed that South Wonston Footpath 702 is extinguished under the
provisions of Section 118 of the Highways Act 1980, as the route
will no longer be needed for public use as a consequence of the
above-mentioned bridleway creation.

Decision Maker: Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services
Decision published: 24/03/2020
Effective from: 17/03/2020
Decision:
• This is an application made by two
members of the public in 2018 to record bridleway rights from
Springwell Lane, Hartfordbridge, northwards across a ford to
Hulfords Lane, then northwards through Warren Heath to Church Road,
Eversley. Section A-B is recorded on the List of Streets as a
publicly maintainable highway but is not recorded on the definitive
map. Section B-H is recorded on the definitive map as a public
footpath.
• The application is supported by user evidence that the
applicant believes demonstrates that a public footpath should be
recorded on the basis of long-term use of the claimed route, and a
number of documents which the applicant believes demonstrates that
part of the route has historically been used as a bridleway.
• Having considered the user evidence, the historic evidence
submitted, and having undertaken additional research of historic
documentary evidence, it is considered that there are sufficient
grounds to record restricted byway rights between points A and B on
the attached plan, at a width varying between 2.3 and 19 metres. It
is considered that there are insufficient grounds to record higher
rights between points B and H.

Decision:
This is an application made by a member of the
public in 2016 to record a footpath in the parish of Worldham. The
application is supported by user evidence that the applicant
believes demonstrates that a public footpath should be recorded on
the basis of long-term use of the claimed route. Having considered
the evidence submitted with the application, and undertaken
additional research of historic documentary evidence, it is
considered that there are sufficient grounds to record a footpath
along the route.

Decision published: 19/03/2020
Effective from: 03/03/2020
Decision:
1.1 Hampshire County Council has received an
offer for the dedication of public bridleway rights between Kings
Worthy Bridleway 501 and Springvale Road (as shown between Points A
and D on the Location Map). The rights will be dedicated by
multiple landowners - Hampshire County Council (owns section A-B),
the owner of Woodhams Farm, Network Rail and Laney Properties Ltd
(own sections between B-D). As a result of their connection to the
existing rights of way network, the dedications will provide a
continuous bridleway link between Kings Worthy and South Wonston.
The width of the dedicated route will 3 metres throughout.
1.2. The route running between A-B runs over land owned and managed
by the County Council, part of which is recorded as public footpath
(which was dedicated by the County Council in 2002). The land is
currently managed as a Countryside Service site
1.3. The route between Points B-D has at some point in the past
been surfaced with tarmac for the purposes of facilitating private
vehicular access to businesses at Woodhams Farm. Consequently,
dedications for this section of the route will be formalised by
agreements under common law to ensure that the County Council does
not assume responsibility for the maintenance of this part of the
route. Given the standard to which it has been maintained for
private purposes to date, it is not envisaged that this have a
detrimental impact on the public. The County Council will naturally
retain maintenance responsibility for the section of the route
running between A-B, over land within its ownership.
1.4. The proposal has met with no objection during consultation
(see Appendix 1).

Taking into account relevant information and
the feedback gathered through a public consultation, changes to the
Home to School Transport (HtST) and Post 16 Transport Policies are
recommended. These changes would introduce small elements into the
HtST policy that already apply as they are part of published
information. Also, the proposed changes would bring both policies
into line with our statutory responsibilities.
