Item AP2 14/14 referred from Area 2 Planning Committee minutes of 16 April 2014

RESOLVED:  That the recommendations at Minute AP2 14/14 be adopted.

Further to Minute AP2 13/042 and following consultation by Kent County Council, the report of the Director of Central Services set out a new proposal to create a new length of footpath and bridleway for the diversion of Restricted Byway MR221A.  The report also set out responses to a second consultation.

The proposed diversion was shown on the plan at Appendix A to the report.  It was noted that stopping up MR221A and the provision of an equally pleasant and safe alternative route would eliminate the potential risk presented to users of MR221A as a result of the practice facility.  Furthermore the creation of a new length of bridleway and footpath would improve the network in the local area.

RECOMMENDED: That

(1)   the making of an Order under Section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to divert Restricted Byway MR221A at Stansted, as shown at Appendix A to the report, in order to enable the proposed development (planning application TM/09/03149FL refers) to be carried out be approved; 

(2)   the confirmation of the Order, if unopposed, be approved; or

(3)   the Order be referred to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government for determination if any objections were sustained.
