Order Making

A Surrey Map Modification Order was made on 1 November 2018 and advertised on 9 November 2018. The Order is titled The Surrey County Council Footpath No.581 (Bramley) and Footpath No.559 (Busbridge) Definitive Map Modification Order 2018. Following closure of the objection period it was realised that there is no registered owner for a small section of land which required dispensation from the Secretary of State under s.3(4) of Schedule 15 to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. This being sought and granted the Order was re-advertised on site for a further period of 6 weeks.

Objections

An objection was received to the Order. The Order and all received evidence were referred to the Secretary of State for determination at the end of the notice period. Confirmation on how the Secretary of State will deal with the case is awaited.

Public Inquiry

The Secretary of State has appointed an Inspector to determine this matter. A Public Inquiry will be held on 14/15 and 16th September. The inquiry will be held virtually, and information about it will be available on the Planning Inspectorate website in due course.
