In dealing with this application, the Council has worked with the applicant in the following ways: - seeking further information following receipt of the application; - considering the imposition of conditions In such ways the Council has demonstrated a positive and proactive manner in seeking solutions to problems arising in relation to the planning application.
A public right of way crosses the site of this permission. The permission does not authorise the stopping up or diversion of the right of way. The right of way may be stopped up or diverted by Order under Section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act, 1990, provided that the Order is made before the development is carried out. If the right of way is obstructed before the Order is made, the Order cannot proceed until the obstruction is removed. We require the rights of way to be open throughout the development construction where possible. However, if public safety demands a temporary closure, application should be made at least 8 weeks in advance to: The Public Rights of Way Mapping Team at countryside@worcestershire.gov.uk. • The safety of the public using the rights of way is to be ensured at all times. • Keep public rights of way clear of obstructions. • No disturbance of, or change to, the surface of the paths or part thereof should be carried out without the written consent of the PROW team (this includes laying concrete, tarmac or similar). • No diminution in the width of the rights of way available for use by the public. • No additional barriers are placed across the rights of way. No stile, gate, fence, or other structure should be created on, or across, a public right of way without written consent of the Highway Authority. • The County Council is only responsible for maintaining rights of way to a standard suitable for their usual public use2 • It should be noted that, under section 34 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, any person who, without lawful authority, drives a motor vehicle on a public right of way commits an offence. The applicant should make themselves satisfied that they, and anyone else who may use public rights of way for private vehicular access in connection with the development, has a right to do so. They may wish to seek legal advice on the matter.
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.
