Item AP2 18/3 referred from Area 2 Planning Committee minutes of 11 April 2018

RESOLVED:  That the recommendations at Minute AP2 18/3 be approved.

The report seeks approval to the making of an order under Section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to divert public footpath MR218 at Stansted, as shown in Appendix A to the report, in order for development to be carried out.

(Report drafted by Kent County Council)

Consideration was given to a request by Kent County Council for Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council to make an order under Section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to divert a public right of way (MR218 at Stansted) to enable development to take place.

Details of the length of footpath to be diverted and the proposed new route were illustrated in Appendix A to the report.  An extract from the Definitive Map was attached at Appendix B to show the path in context with the rest of the public rights of way network.

Consultation had been carried out as required by the Act and it was reported that local County and Borough Councillors had raised no objection.    Kent County Council was satisfied that all the legal tests had been met in that the Borough Council had granted planning permission under Part III of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 for development and that this section of MR218 would be adversely affected by the development.

RESOLVED:  That an Order to divert public footpath MR218 at Stansted, as shown in Appendix A to the report, be made under Section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 in order for development to be carried out.
