4 Application for a Public Path Diversion Order for the Portsmouth Footpath No.105 Compton Road
Purpose of Report

The purpose of this report is to seek approval for a Public Path Diversion Order for the Portsmouth Footpath No.105 Compton Road under s119 Highways Act 1980. The landowners have applied to permanently divert the whole of the footpath. On this land 2 planning permissions were granted, one for 6 dwellings and one for a new church hall. The proposed diversion would enable the land to be developed in accordance with the planning permissions and to provide a new public footpath between Compton Road and Battenburg Avenue.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the application should be accepted and authority given for the making of a Public Path Diversion Order under the provisions of section 119 of the Highways Act 1980 to divert the whole of Portsmouth Footpath No.105 Compton Road from the current route to the proposed route as shown on the attached plan in Appendix A because it appears to be expedient to divert the footpath in the interest of the owners, lessee and occupier of the land and of the public.
