The developer of a site at Windsor Court Road, Chobham has requested that the County Council apply to the Magistrates Court for an order to be made removing (stopping up) the highway rights over two pieces of land which fall within their development site. This stopping up, alongside a related agreement made under Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980, will facilitate the redevelopment and provide an improved highway layout.

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

The Cabinet Member agreed that an application be made to the Magistrates’ Court for an order stopping up the land identified on the plan attached as annex 4 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.
