Alleged Public Footpath - Community of Coedffranc PDF 177 KB Additional documents:
Minutes: Decision: That
no Modification Order be made, between points A-B-C (Woodland Road to Ormes Road) and points B-E (Woodland Road to Dynevor Road) in the Community of Coedffranc,
as detailed in the circulated report. Reasons for Decision
(points A-B-C above): 1.
Only three people have said they would continue to support this
application; 2.
Point C does not connect to a public highway; 3.
Any use west of point C to access those properties would not constitute
use by the public at large. Reasons for Decision (point
B-E above): 1.
Only four people supported this application which was too low a number
to warrant making a modification order, particularly given the number of houses
in the area; 2.
These four cannot be said to represent the public at large, given they
live in relative close proximity to the lane; 3.
In 1955 the former Parish Council initially considered this lane as a
possible Public Right of Way but later reversed that decision on the basis that
it was used as a private street. |
