Decision Maker: Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

1.1 This is a proposal for the dedication of a public footpath in Dummer, between Up Street and Footpath 2. The dedication has been offered by the landowner. The route is currently a permissive footpath.
1.2 The line of the route subject to dedication runs adjacent to the official line of Footpath 2; the southern end of Footpath 2 is currently impassable due to permanent obstruction. This is a long standing anomaly on the Definitive Map and dedicating the new route will enable it to be resolved.
1.3 It is recommended that the dedication be accepted. The dedication can then be followed by a Public Path Order under Section 118 Highways Act 1980 to extinquish the obstructed length of Footpath 2.
