  • Dunton Bassett Addition of Footpath
    53 Agenda Item 8 DEVELOPMENT CONTROL AND REGULATORY BOARD 11 JULY 2019 APPLICATION FOR DEFINITIVE MAP MODIFICATION ORDER PROPOSED ADDITION OF A PUBLIC FOOTPATH (Y108) FROM ASHBY PARVA ROAD TO LEIRE LANE, DUNTON BASSETT (HARBOROUGH DISTRICT) JOINT REPORT OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE AND THE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENT AND TRANSPORT PART A Purpose of the Report 1. The purpose of this report is to seek the Board’s determination of an application by Dunton Bassett Parish Council to add a Public Footpath to the Definitive Map of public rights of way. The route goes across restored mineral extraction land, from Ashby Parva Road to Leire Lane in the Parish of Dunton Bassett (Harborough District) and is shown on Plan No. M1039/R, attached as Appendix A to this report. Recommendation 2. It is recommended that an Order be made under the provisions of Section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to add a Public Footpath to the Definitive Map from Ashby Parva Road to Leire Lane in the parish of Dunton Bassett of a width of approximately 1.6 metres as shown on Plan no. M1039/R attached to this report. Reason for Recommendation 3. The application satisfies the relevant statutory criteria because the evidence shows that a Footpath subsists or is reasonably alleged to subsist along the route claimed. Resource Implications 4. The County Council, as Highway Authority, has a legal responsibility to ensure the highway is open and available to the public and also for the clearance of naturally growing surface vegetation on public rights of way 54 running along field headlands.
