6.1

The Head of Highway Maintenance submitted a report seeking authority to process a Public Path Diversion Order to divert the public footpath linking Overend Way and Raeburn Close, Gleadless Valley.  The report stated that following the granting of planning permission (Case No. 16/02665/FUL) for an extension to an electricity substation compound at the location, it was necessary to realign the footpath which was routed through the site.

It was further explained that the diversion would not adversely affect the public’s enjoyment of the area and would not have a detrimental effect on the surrounding network and its users.

6.3

RESOLVED:  That (a) no objections be raised to the proposed diversion of the public footpath linking Overend Way and Raeburn Close, as detailed in the report of the Head of Highway Maintenance and as shown on the plan now exhibited, subject to satisfactory arrangements being made with the Statutory Undertakers with regard to their mains and services that may be affected;

(b) authority be given to the Director of Legal and Governance to take all necessary action to divert the footpath by an Order under the powers contained within Section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990; and

(c) in the event of no objections being received, or all objections received being resolved, authority be given for the Order to be confirmed as an unopposed Order.
