Mr G L Foyle spoke against the recommendation.

 

The Senior Rights of Way Officer presented a report which asked the committee to reconsider and comment on the objections received following the making of the Modification Order under Section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to add a byway open to all traffic (BOAT) at Ebbesbourne Wake, and to recommend to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs that the Order be confirmed, subject to the status of the additional way, and be modified from BOAT to Restricted Byway. 

 

A debate ensued during which the issue of gating the byway to restrict motor vehicular access was raised but it was confirmed that this could not be carried out.

 

Resolved

 

That the Order be forwarded to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs with the recommendation it be confirmed, subject to the status of Ebbesbourne Wake 24 being modified to that of Restricted Byway. 

 

Councillor Michael Hewitt asked that his vote against the resolution be recorded.
