Additional documents: Minutes: The Director of Transformation submitted a report asking Members of the Committee to consider the confirmation of a Public Footpath Diversion Order, in respect of Public Footpath No. 4, and Public Footpath No. 19 Chorley in order to facilitate the development of a residential housing estate.
The proposal to effect the diversion in respect of Public Footpath No. 4 and No. 19 Chorley was approved by the Committee on 30 March 2010. The Order was first made on 8 July 2010 with advertisement in local press, notices posted on site and statutory consultation. A local resident brought to officers’ attention a mistake in the route of the diversion as shown on the Order Map compared with the path as laid out within the development. The Order was remade with corrections to the Order Map on 14 September 2010 and no objections were received following publication of the amended proposal in the press and posting of notices on site.
It was proposed by Councillor Christopher France, and seconded by Councillor David Dickinson, and subsequently unanimously RESOLVED – That the Director of Transformation be authorised to confirm as an unopposed Order the Chorley Borough Council Public Footpath No. 4 and Public Footpath No. 19 Chorley Public Path Diversion Order 2010, made pursuant to Section 257 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, formally authorising the diversion of Public Footpaths No. 4 and No. 19 Chorley in order to permit development to be carried out in accordance with the grant of planning permission, namely the construction of residential housing. |

Proposed confirmation of Tree Preservation Order No. 2 (Wheelton) 2010 with modification Report of Director of Transformation (enclosed). Additional documents: Minutes: The Director of Transformation submitted a report seeking the Committee’s formal confirmation of Tree Preservation Order No. 2 (Wheelton) 2010 with modifications.
The order was made on 14 June 2010 and served along with the statutory notice prescribed in regulation on all those with an interest in the land on which the beech tree is situated on 14 June 2010. The same documents were also served to the owner/occupiers of adjacent properties.
The order was made because the Council’s Tree Officer’s assessment stated the tree made a valuable contribution to the visual amenity of the area, being prominently situated and clearly visible to the public and that the removal would have a significant impact on the environment and its enjoyment by the public.
No objections had been received in response to the making of the Order.
An error in the postal description of the land on which the single protected beech tree is situated was identified after the Order was made. The Schedule in the Order has been corrected to replace the words ‘Southern boundary of 1 Victoria Street, Wheelton” with the words ‘Southern boundary of 1 St Paul’s Close Wheelton’.
It was proposed by Councillor Ralph Snape, seconded by Councillor Simon Moulton and subsequently unanimously RESOLVED – That the Tree Preservation Order No 2. (Wheelton) 2010 be confirmed with modification.
