It is recommended that the Head of Transport & Infrastructure: -
a)Approves the entering into a Creation Agreement with Stonebridge Homes Ltd. as it is considered that the proposal delivers the requirements of the planning permission. A Public Path Creation Agreement under Section 25 of the Highways Act 1980 is the statutory means by which this is achieved.
b)Authorises the Head of Legal Services to make an order under Section 25 of the Highways Act 1980, as set out in the schedule and plan, to create a Public Footpath through a Creation Agreement with Stonebridge Homes Ltd.
c)Agrees that public notice of the making of the Agreement be given, by way of site notices.
d)Agrees that the date the order comes into force must not be a date before the adjoining paths are made legal.
