Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendation.

The Cabinet Member for Environment introduced a report to revise the County Council’s policy on recovering costs for public path orders.  He referred to the key considerations in the report and advised that it would be helpful if there was more discretion to decide whether the costs associated with the making of public path orders should be waived.

Any path that had become obstructed by housing or other residential development since 1996, and those identified in appendix A to the report, would be assessed on a case by case basis and Officers would, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Environment, prepare a delegated report which would include recommendations and costs, if any, to be charged in every given case. 

resolved:

That the County Council’s policy on recovering costs for public path orders be revised as recommended in paragraphs 3.04 to 3.07 of the report.
