To consider a report on the proposed Public Path Creation Agreement in the Parish of Wardle.

The Committee considered a report which sought approval to enter into a Public Path Creation Agreement with the owner of land in order to add a Public Footpath to the Definitive Map and Statement in respect of the Parish of Wardle.

In response to a question asked in relation to whether mitigations would be put in place for the landowner whose land carried the public right of way officers reported that available mitigations were limited, but use of waymarking would be offered along with signage to encourage users to adhere to the public right of way.

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