(Public Footpaths No. 29 (Part) and 34 (Part) Quarnford Parish) Public Path Diversion and Definitive Map and Statement Modification Order 2022 

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 footpaths described in paragraph 1 of this Order it is expedient that the line of the paths should be diverted.

Mr S Wingrove and Miss A Steadman of Glead Tail, Quarnford, Buxton SK 0TG 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.

The Staffordshire Moorland District Council and the Peak District National Park Authority have 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 Stafford require 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. 

By This Order: 

1. The public right of way over the land situate at Glead Tail in the Parish of Quarnford and shown by a bold continuous line on the map contained in this Order and described in Part 1 of the Schedule to this Order shall be stopped up with effect from the date on which Staffordshire County Council certify that the works to bring the new site of the footpath, described in Part 2 of the Schedule to this Order, into a fit condition for use by the public has been carried out to their reasonable satisfaction, and thereupon the Definitive Map for the Staffordshire Moorlands area shall be modified by deleting from it that public right of way. 

2. Where immediately before the date on which the footpath is diverted there is apparatus under, in, on, over, along or across it belonging to statutory undertakers for the purpose of carrying on their undertaking, the undertakers shall continue to have the same rights in respect of the apparatus as they then had.

3. There shall upon the date of confirmation of this Order be a public footpath over the land situate at Glead Tail in the Parish of Quarnford described in Part 2 of the Schedule and shown by a bold broken line on the map contained in this Order and thereupon the Definitive Map for the Staffordshire Moorlands area shall be modified by adding that path to it.
