  • 29-02-2016 Item 8 Langley Mill
    PUBLIC ITEM NO. 8 DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL REGULATORY LICENSING AND APPEALS COMMITTEE 29 February 2016 Report of the Director of Legal Services Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 Claim to add a Footpath between Johnson Drive and Restricted Byway No. 12 - Parishes of ‘Heanor and Loscoe’ and ‘Aldercar and Langley Mill’. 1. Purpose of the Report The purpose of this report is to enable Members to determine an application to amend the Definitive Map and Statement by adding a Public Footpath between Johnson Drive - Parish of Heanor and Loscoe and Restricted Byway No. 12 – Parish of Aldercar and Langley Mill. 2. Information and Analysis 2.1 Judith Wooley (“the Applicant”) submitted an application to Derbyshire County Council (“the Council”) dated 25 May 2012, to add a public footpath to the Definitive Map and Statement, in the Parishes of ‘Heanor and Loscoe’ and ‘Aldercar and Langley Mill’. The application is accompanied by 20 user evidence forms (UEFs) (one form was submitted by a married couple but was only signed by the husband and the evidence shall be treated as that of one individual). 2.2 A plan showing the claimed route is attached (Appendix 1). 2.3 The claimed route is approximately 470 metres long. User Evidence 2.4 One of the users refers to an incident circa 2005 when she was ‘kicked to the ground’ while using the route. She also recalls the route being diverted by some landowners who diverted water from the brook onto the footpath circa 2007. The Applicant recalls it being diverted/blocked due to ‘house building and opencast’, but does not give dates or details: it may be she is referring to the building of Johnson Drive circa 1980 as the claimed route itself is unaffected by any building in the vicinity.
