Date of Decision: April 26, 2024

Purpose: Following the grant of planning permission CR/2023/0197/FUL on the 26th January 2024 for the demolition of existing buildings and erection of a parcel distribution centre (class B8) including car and cycle parking, servicing, landscaping, new access and associated works, in order to implement this permission the existing footpath needs to be diverted. The footpath is currently located towards the east, cutting through the site from Hydehurst Lane to the north measuring 1m wide and 90m in length. If left in its current location the footpath would run straight through the service yard of the development site. It is therefore proposed to move the footpath further to the east of the site between the service yard boundary fence and the surface water attenuation storage. The footpath diversion would measure a width of 2m and a total length of 65m.

Content: To approve the Public Footpath Diversion Order via S257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 ref: CR/2023/0197/S257
