Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration.

The report details an application to divert the footpath from the owner of the land, Stockport Council. The section of the existing footpath currently follows the line of a hedgerow in an open field to the end of the hedgerow. The diverted line will be moved approximately 2 metres south along its current alignment and follows a more open aspect which is considered to be aesthetically a more pleasing path for the public than the existing line. The diverted line is slightly longer and the diverted line will benefit from some work to provide an improved and more commodious surface.

The Area Committee is requested to consider whether to authorise the diversion of a section of footpath 14 a Hazel Grove and Bramhall from a route shown as a black solid line between Points A – B to a route shown in broken black lines between Points A – Y - B, as shown on the plan attached at Appendix 1.
