Decision details

The Committee considered a report which outlined the consideration of an application, reference MA-5- 246 (“the Application”) made in 2010 by the Disley Parish Council under the provisions of schedule 14 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (the “1981 Act”). The application sought to add a public footpath to the Definitive Map and Statement of Public Rights of Way (the “DM”). The route commenced on Market Road (A6) leading to the boundary of land owned by Cheshire East Borough Council (“CEC”) and currently used as the Disley Community Centre Car Park.

The committee considered the application and evidence as set out within the officer report.

RESOLVED: (Unanimously)

That the Highways and Transport Committee

1. Refuse the Application MA-5-246 on the basis that public rights are already recognised over the route shown between points A and B on plan WCA/047

2. Agree that a “Legal Event” Modification Order be made under section 53 (2) (a) of the 1981 Act
