Report of the Director of Transport and Highways

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report which outlined investigations to extinguish part of a public footpath at Everdon Road, Monks Park, Holbrooks, City of Coventry.  This included a discussion of consultations carried out in respect of the proposal and the legal tests to be considered for an extinguishment order to be made.  The proposal had been put forward following an application that has been submitted by Mr B Seamer BSP Consulting (Derby) 5 Pride Point Drive DE24 8BX, on behalf of Citizen Housing Group Ltd, 4040 Lakeside Solihull Parkway B377YN the owner of the land crossed by the path.

 

The report made a recommendation based on that information, for quasi-judicial decision by Members as to whether an Order should be made to extinguish the section of footpath concerned. The Applicant had agreed to defray all expenses associated with the Order. 

 

In accordance with Coventry City Council’s constitution any matters which change the public rights of way network must be considered by the Planning Committee. 

 

RESOLVED that the Committee:

 

(1)  Authorise the City Solicitor to make the necessary Extinguishment Order for all of the Public Footpath defined in this report, at Everdon Road, Monks Park, Holbrooks, City of Coventry pursuant to Section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 on the grounds that the City Council is satisfied that it is necessary to do so to enable development to go ahead.

 

(2)  Agree that a Public Notice of the making of the Order be given and in the event of there being no objections within the period specified, the Order be confirmed in the exercise of the powers conferred on the Council by the said Acts.

 

(3)  Endorse that, in the event that objections be received to the making of the Order that cannot be resolved, then the matter be forwarded to the Secretary of State for determination and Coventry City Council be responsible for the conduct of any hearing or public inquiry.
