Decision details

Declarations of Interest:      None

Officers attending:   Daniel Williams, Countryside Officer

Petitions, Public Questions, Statements:  None

The Woking Joint Committee agree that:

(i)            A diversion order be made under section 119 of the Highways Act 1980 to divert Public Footpath No. 5 (Woking) as shown on amended Drawing No. 3/1/79/H68A.

(ii)           If any objections are received and maintained to the Order it should be submitted to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for determination. 

Reasons for Decision

Members agreed with the officers view that the criteria for making a diversion order have been met. At present the path crosses an area being developed for stabling. The new route, 3m in width, would improve security for the property and provide a path that would no longer be shared with vehicles accessing the property.
