That:

a)   
The application to divert part of Footpath 3,
Bryanston be accepted and an order made.

b)   
The Order include provisions to modify the
definitive map and statement to record the changes made as a consequence of the
diversion; and

c)   
If the Order is unopposed, it be confirmed by
the Council.

 

(Decision taken is detailed within the Scheme
of Delegation in the Council’s Constitution.)

Reasons for the decision

a)   
The proposed diversion meets the legal criteria
set out in the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

b)   
The inclusion of these provisions in a public
path order means that there is no need for a separate legal event order to
modify the definitive map and statement as a result of the diversion.

c)   
Accordingly, the absence of objections may be
taken as acceptance that the proposed diversion is expedient and therefore
Dorset Council can itself confirm the order.

Alternative options considered

Alternative route for diversion was discussed but rejected
as it was less accessible.
