| No disturbance of, or change to, the surface of the path or part thereof should be carried out without our written consent. No diminution in the width of the right of way available for use by the public. Building materials must not be stored on the right of way. Vehicle movements and parking to be arranged so vehicles do not unreasonably interfere with the public’s use of the right of way. No additional barriers are placed across the right 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 safety of the public using the right of way is to be ensured at all times. The National Planning Policy Framework by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, particularly paragraph 104, states that planning policies protect and enhance public rights of way and access. The developer should also be aware of the Department of Environment Circular 1/09 (part 7) which explains that the effect of development on a public right of way is a material consideration in the determination of applications for planning permission and that the grant of planning consent does not entitle developers to obstruct a public right of way. 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. |
| Positive and Proactive Statement. No problems have arisen in dealing with this application. The planning application sought an acceptable form of development consistent with the requirements of relevant policies and material considerations. No amendments or alterations were therefore required and no further positive or proactive action was deemed necessary. |
