RIGHT OF WAY, MICKLEHAM

02/12/2015 - RIGHT OF WAY, MICKLEHAM [OTHER COUNTY COUNCIL FUNCTIONS]

 

 The Local Committee (Mole Valley) resolved to agree that:

 

(i)                  Public footpath rights are recognised over A-B-C on Drg. No. 3/1/40/H4 and that this application for a MMO under sections 53 and 57 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to modify the Definitive Map and Statement by the addition of a footpath is approved. The route will be known as Public Footpath No. 597 (Mickleham).

 

And agreed that:

 

(ii)               A MMO should be made and advertised to implement these changes. If objections are maintained to such an order, it will be submitted to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for confirmation

 

 

Reasons for recommendations:

The County Council has a duty under Section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (WCA 1981) to modify the Definitive Map and Statement (DMS) if it discovers evidence which on balance supports a modification. In this instance the evidence of long use supports the making of an MMO.
