Public Path Diversion and Definitive Map and Statement Modification Order 2024
This Order is made by Staffordshire County Council (“the Authority”) under section 119 of the Highways Act 1980 (“the 1980 Act”) because it appears to the Authority that in the interests of the owners of the land crossed by the footpath described in paragraph 1 of this Order it is expedient that the line of the path should be diverted.
Mr P Wright, 2 Dunwood House, Dunwood Lane, Longsdon, Staffordshire ST9 9QW have agreed to defray any compensation which becomes payable in consequence of the coming into force of this Order and any expenses which are incurred in bringing the new site of the path into a fit condition for use by the public.
Staffordshire Moorlands District Council has been consulted as required by section 120(2) of the 1980 Act.
This Order is also made under Section 53A(2) of the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 (“the 1981 Act”) because it appears to the authority that the Definitive Map and Statement for the Borough of Staffordshire Moorlands requires modification in consequence of the occurrence of an event specified in Section 53(3)(a)(i) of the 1981 Act, namely the diversion (as authorised by this Order) of a highway shown or required to be shown in the Map and Statement.
