Parish Review: Definitive Map Review 2021-22 - Parish of Templeton pdf icon PDF 891 KB

Report of the Chief Officer for Highways, Infrastructure and Waste (HIW/22/12), attached.

Additional documents:

Decision:

RESOLVED that a Modification Order be made to modify the Definitive Map and Statement with the addition of a public footpath along Pidland Lane A – B - C as shown on drawing number HIW/PROW/21/36a (Proposal 1).

 

 

 

Minutes:

The Committee considered the Report of the Chief Officer for Highways, Infrastructure Development and Waste (HIW/22/12), which examined the route referred to as Proposal 1 arising out of the Definitive Map Review in the Parish of Templeton in Mid Devon.

 

The Committee had also been sent an email from A Webb and D Leeming setting out representations against the Proposal.

 

In 2008 a number of user evidence forms had been received where the route used included Pidland Lane.  Several of these users were horse riders who then continued their ride by a number of different routes including continuing eastwards on Footpath No. 2.

 

The route was reviewed again in October 2020 when a local resident reported that a gate and sign had been erected across the end of Pidland Lane saying ‘Private Property – No Access’.  Further user evidence forms were then received from walkers using Pidland Lane and these, together with previous user evidence, were sufficient for the addition of a public footpath along Pidland Lane to be considered as part of the parish review.

 

Discussion followed and included the following points:

 

-       that the email had not included any new evidence;

-       that Pidland Lane was not registered at HM Land Registry;

-       clarity that the proposal was for a public footpath and not a bridleway;

-       the Council had responsibility for the surface of public footpaths to a standard appropriate to use on foot;

-       the report recommendation was based on assessment of the evidence in combination; and

-       the right of representation within a 6 week period of the publishing of the Definitive Map Modification Order.

 

It was MOVED by Councillor Hellyer, SECONDED by Councillor Barnes and

 

RESOLVED that a Modification Order be made to modify the Definitive Map and Statement with the addition of a public footpath along Pidland Lane A – B - C as shown on drawing number HIW/PROW/21/36a (Proposal 1).
