Decision details

To ask the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport to consider whether to consent to a proposal by officers to apply to the magistrates’ court for an order stopping up part of the highway at Broadfield, East Tytherton, Bremhill. 

Officers are satisfied that the section of highway is unnecessary and in the circumstances it would be appropriate for the Council to apply to stop it up.      

Officers consider that the part of the highway concerned can be stopped up on the ground that it is unnecessary for public use and the Council should accordingly apply to the court for an Order.

The Cabinet Member for Highways, Streetscene and Broadband may resolve to:

(i)            Give consent to the application.

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

On 4 November 2013, Bremhill Parish Council consented to the application being made and completed a consent form which is shown at Appendix 2.

The local member, Mrs. Christine Crisp, has been informed of the proposal but has made no comment.
