Decision details

To ask the Cabinet Member for Highways, Street Scene & Flooding to consider whether Wiltshire Council should apply to the magistrates’ court for an order stopping-up highway rights over a section of highway adjacent to 2 Chine Road, Upper Woodford, on the ground that the section concerned is unnecessary for public use or any other highway-related reason.

The section of highway is shown cross-hatched on the plan at Appendix 1.

I consent to the proposed application.

This decision was published on 21 May 2024 and will come into effect on 30 May 2024.

On consideration of the matter, officers are of the view that the section of highway concerned is unnecessary for public or any other highway-related reason.

The Cabinet Member may resolve to:

(i) Give consent to the application

(ii) Refuse to give consent to the application, in which case reasons should be given for doing so.

On 6 December 2023, Woodford Parish Council consented to the application being made.  A copy of the signed consent form is shown at Appendix 2.

The local member, Councillor Kevin Daley, has no objection to the proposal.
