The Sub-Committee considered the presentation and documentation of Appellant B outlining their reasons for appeal.

Members were informed that:

• The appellant’s reasons for submitting their appeal were based primarily upon safety grounds. Appellant B considered the route was not safe for their child to walk and did not consider there to be adequate pedestrian step off points along the route.
• The appellant did not consider the proposed crossing point at the A340 to be safe.
• The appellant considered that there would be a negative impact upon their child’s education and emotional wellbeing should the Council funded home to school transport not be reinstated.

RESOLVED:

The Sub-Committee agreed that the initial section of the walking route, from The Orchard junction with West Street to the Bowmonts Road junction with West Street, is available to walk accompanied and that the remainder of the route to The Hurst was available to walk unaccompanied.
