3 No. Public Footpaths - Alltwen and Rhos PDF 192 KB Additional documents: Minutes: Decision: That
no modification order be made for the alleged Public Footpaths in Alltwen and Rhos, named as: 1.
Pen yr Alltwen to
Footpath No.39 2.
Bryn Llewellyn alongside Pen yr Alltwen to Footpath No. 36
3.
Footpath 39 to Footpath No.36 Community of Cilybebyll Reasons for Decision: 1. The written evidence provides grounds for making a
modification order under the test that it is “reasonable to allege a public
path subsists” as set out in appendix 2. However only two people have stated
that they wish to continue to support this application which is insufficient to
justify making a modification order; 2.
In addition to the lack of
support set out above, it is also
possible this path was called into question in either 1993 or 1996 which if
correct would only leave one person who
would claim to have used the path for the full 20 year period; 3.
Only one person has said they are prepared to continue to support this
alleged public path should this earlier period be found to represent the
relevant period which again is insufficient to justify making a modification
order. Implementation of Decision: The
decision will be implemented after the three day call in period. Consultation: The
item has been subject to extensive consultation. |

Public Footpath - Community of Severn Sisters PDF 302 KB Additional documents: Minutes: Decision: That
no modification order be made for the route A-B-C in the Community of Seven
Sisters (as detailed in the circulated plan). Reasons for Decision: Primarily,
that because none of the exemptions set out in Appendix 3 apply, then under the
terms of Natural Environmental and Communities Act 2006, no public byways can
be created after the 16 November 2016. In addition even if such an exemption
could be found the application did not comply with the terms of the Wildlife
and Countryside Act 1981. Lastly, that those in support of the application
cannot be said to represent the public at large. Implementation of Decision: The
decision will be implemented after the three day call in period. Consultation: This item has been subject to external
consultation. |
