Decision details

Purpose of report: For the Executive Member to consider evidence submitted in support of a Definitive Map Modification Order (DMMO) application to add a footpath to the Definitive Map in the Parish of Heslington and also the Hull Road Ward and to determine whether or not to authorise the making of an order under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

Members will be asked to either authorise the making of the DMMO to record the footpath on the definitive map and statement, or not.

Resolved:  That approval be given to authorise the making of a Definitive Map Modification Order (DMMO) to record the route through Mill Plantation adjacent to Windmill Lane, Heslington as a public footpath as shown on the map at Annex 2 to the report.

Reason:     The available evidence meets the statutory test of reasonably alleging that a public right of way subsists over the land.
