|
| The applicants attention is drawn to the existence of an agreement made under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), and the restrictions imposed therein. |
| The applicant must be aware of their obligations as follows:
No disturbance of, or change to, the surface of the path or part thereof should be carried out without written consent (this includes laying concrete, tarmac or similar).
No diminution in the width of the right of way available for use by the public.
Buildings materials must not be stored on the right of way,
Vehicle movements and parking to be arranged so as not to unreasonably interfere with the public's use of the right of way.
No additional barriers are placed across the right of way.
The safety of the public using the right of way is to be ensured at all times. The Definitive Map is a minimum record of public rights of way and does not preclude the possibility that unrecorded public rights may exist, nor that higher rights may exist than those shown.
|
| If the approved development requires the stopping up or diversion of a public right of way (such as a footpath, bridleway, or restricted byway), you must apply to the local planning authority for an order under Section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. Applicants are advised that the granting of planning permission does not guarantee that a stopping up or diversion order will be made or confirmed. The local authority retains full discretion over whether to make or confirm such an order.
|
| Buildings are frequently used as roosting sites by bats. Bats and their 'roost' sites are protected under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act and the Habitat Regulations 1994, the latter of which deems them a European Protected Species.
It is a criminal offence to recklessly disturb or destroy a bat 'roost'. Where a bat 'roost' is present a licence might be necessary to carry out the works. Further information about species licensing and legislation can be obtained from the Species Licensing Service on 0117 3728000. If evidence of bats is found during works, work should stop immediately and Natural England must be contacted on 01453 764450 for advice on the best way to proceed. |
