The County Council has received a letter from the legal representatives of Mrs Maureen Comber (‘the Applicant’), seeking the addition of an area of land known as ‘the 80 acres’ to the register of common land (see location map) on the grounds that it was manorial waste. The letter asserts that the County Council can make this amendment under the provisions of the Commons Registration Act 1965. The majority of the 1965 Act was repealed via the passing of the Commons Act 2006.
The County Council has taken legal advice on the validity of the Applicant’s submissions and has also provided the majority landowner the opportunity to respond. Having had regard to this, it is considered that there is no lawful basis for the application to be accepted.
The framework for the decision is set out in the accompanying Decision Report, which considers the arguments submitted in support of the application and considers relevant case law. Having taken all of this into account, it is recommended that the application is refused.

That the application should be accepted and authority given for the making of a Public Path Diversion Order, the diversion route to have a width of 2.5 metres as shown

The Order should include the following limitations: self-closing stock gates at SU 4290 3192, SU 4281 3225, SU 4281 3227, and SU 4243 3268. The proposed route runs
through the college’s agricultural land and therefore the path will have stock proof fencing one side and hedge row the other.
That the Order be confirmed as an unopposed Order if no objections or representations are received, on the basis that the Council is satisfied that the relevant legal tests are
satisfied; or, if objections or representations to the Order are received, further consideration is given as to whether the Order be submitted to the Secretary of State for
