Issue - meetings

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

The report details an application to divert a section of Footpath 17 (Bredbury and Romiley) from the owner of the land, Romiley Golf Club.  The section of the existing footpath currently runs diagonally across the golf club car park, passing the corner of the ‘Halfway House’ building and onto the golf course.  The diverted line follows a more open aspect and is considered to be aesthetically a more pleasing path for the public than the existing line. The diverted alignment is located away from the proposed site of the golf nets. 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 17 Bredbury and Romiley from a route shown as a black solid line between Points A – B – C, to a route shown in broken black lines between Points A – X – C, as shown on the plan attached at Appendix 1.

A representative of the Democratic Services Manager submitted a report of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration (copies of which had been circulated) detailing an application to divert a section of Footpath 17 (Bredbury and Romiley) to follow a more open aspect which was  aesthetically a more pleasing path for the public than the existing line.  The diverted alignment is located away from the proposed site of golf nets at Romiley Golf Club and while slightly longer, would benefit from some work to provide an improved and more commodious surface.

RESOLVED – That approval be given to the diversion of a section of footpath 17 (Bredbury and Romiley) from a route shown as a black solid line between Points A–B–C, to a route shown in broken black lines between Points A–X–C, as shown on the plan attached at Appendix 1 to the report.
