Officer report

Rights-of-way comments

The rights-of-way team welcomed retaining a footpath but requested details and safeguards covering its surface, width, maintenance, construction access and open setting.

“Rights of Way Nottinghamshire County Council Rights of Way Team advises: - The Master Plan shows that Sutton in Ashfield Footpath 73 is to be retained on its definitive line within a green corridor. The Rights of Way team welcome this. The applicant should provide further details of how wide the footpath is to be, what the surface is to be and who will maintain the footpath going forward.”

“If the route is to be fenced, ensure that the appropriate width is given to the path and that the fence is low level and open aspect to meet good design principles. If a structure is to be built adjacent to the public footpath, the width of the right of way is not to be encroached upon. Structures cannot be constructed on the line of the right of way without the prior authorisation of the Rights of way team.”

Officer report

A motion for conditional consent, in line with the officer recommendation, was moved and seconded.
