The owner of 28 Pool Road, West Molesey has requested the County Council to 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 legalise a longstanding encroachment. If the land is not stopped up the County Council, as highway authority, is duty bound to secure the removal of the encroachment.

That an application be made to the Magistrates’ Court for an order stopping up the land identified on the plan at Annex 1 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.
