Decision details

1.1. That an Order to divert part of Selborne Bridleway No. 24, made under Section 119 Highways Act is agreed by Countryside Access Group Manager.
1.2. In addition to the diversion, Hampshire County Council has received an offer for the dedication of public footpath rights by Mr Michael Boyson, which will record public rights on a route that has been used by the public as a result of the definitive line of Selborne Footpath 13 current terminus being unavailable and unsafe. (see plan). As such, the proposed dedication will simply formalise current public use, and ensure that the newly recorded route is maintained by the County Council. It is intended that this matter is progressed via the Scheme of Authorisation, following which the dedication will be formalised by an agreement between the landowner and the County Council, under Section 25 Highways Act 1980.
