Report of the Director for Corporate Services. Additional documents:
Minutes: The Panel considered a report of the Director of Corporate Services regarding an application by Mr B Smith for a modification order under Section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 for the upgrading Public Bridleway 29 Bradnop and Cawdry to a Restricted Byway.
The report was presented verbally to take Members through the various legal documentary and historical evidence relevant to the application. The Director also made reference to case law which dealt with the weight to be given to the evidence and gave guidance on the legal tests which they should apply. In applying these tests, Members were made aware that they should examine the evidence in its totality. During their consideration of the application, Members had regard to the Appendices attached to the report including:- (i) a plan of the claimed route; (ii) Inclosure Award transcript 1769; (iii) Smith’s Map 1801; (iv) Copy of Inclosure Award and May 1769; (v) Parish Survey Card, Public Bridleway 29 Bradnop; and (vi) Landowner Response Forms.
The Panel decided that the available evidence was not sufficient to conclude that Public Bridleway 29 Bradnop and Cawdry should be upgraded to a Restricted Byway and should therefore not be added to the Definitive Map and Statement of Public Rights of Way as such.
RESOLVED - That (a) the evidence submitted by the applicant at Appendix A was not sufficient to show that a Restricted Byway subsists along the route marked B to C along Public Bridleway 29, Bradnop and Cawdry and shown on the attached plan at Appendix B in the report
(b) an Order should not be made to upgrade the right of way shown marked B to C on the plan at Appendix B in the report to the Definitive Map and Statement of Public Rights of Way for the District of Staffordshire Moorlands.
