Issue details

Purpose of report: To confirm the original order and seek authorisation to enter into a Creation Agreement with landowners to create a section of public bridleway between Metcalf Lane and Meadlands, Derwenthorpe. The proposal is put forward to mitigate the concerns of an objection received to a Diversion Order

What will the report ask Members to do: To confirm the original Diversion Order and instruct officers to enter into a Creation Agreement with the landowners to create a public bridleway.

The Council aims to give the same 28 days’ clear notice of non key decisions as it does for key decisions, but in exceptional circumstances this may not be possible.  In this case, the item is being considered as an urgent matter to allow the Diversion Order to be confirmed.  This will then allow the completion of the 2 supported living dwellings which are to be built on the original alignment of the bridleway in accordance with planning permission granted in 2012 (later varied in 2016).  At the decision session on 14^th September, representations were made about how important the completion of these properties was to the residents.  The original objector supports this coming to the decision session as an urgent matter.
