The owner of Minnickfold Cottage, Anstie Lane, Coldharbour has requested the County Council apply to the Magistrates Court for an order to be made removing (stopping up) the highway rights over a piece of land adjacent to their property. Their reason for wishing this to be done is to take responsibility for the land in question.

The Cabinet Member is asked to decide whether an application for a stopping up order should be made.

It was agreed that an application be made to the Magistrates’ Court for an order stopping up the land identified on the plan (Annex 1 to the submitted report) as highway, in accordance with the provisions of Section 116 and 117 of the Highways Act 1980 and subject to the conditions of the County Council’s approved policy on stopping up applications.
