Brief Description of
Decision:

To support the implementation of the stopping up
of two irregular shaped areas of highway bounded by Corporation
Street, Domine Lane and the River Don subject to DfT
processes.

Reasons for the Decision:

The scheme approved at planning creates a
pedestrian walkway from Market St/Domine Lane to the new pedestrian
bridge to Forge Island through a tiered landscaped space. Stopping
up of the areas mentioned above is required to enhance pedestrian
movement in the area.

Details of alternative options
considered and rejected:

The alternative option is not to agree to the
stopping up of these areas of highway resulting in the Riverside
Gardens design approved by planning not being deliverable.
Requiring a redesign and amended planning application to be
submitted. By removing the areas to be stopped up the scheme would
be negatively affected, as there would be less space to enable the
accessible to all ramped path access through the site to be
installed.
