7       The Public Rights of Way Manager advises:

-        The nearby right of way, i.e. Public Footpath L05, should remain open at all times throughout the development.  If development works are perceived to be likely to endanger members of the public then a temporary closure order should be applied for from the Public Rights of Way Department, preferably 6 weeks in advance of work starting.

-        The right of way should remain at its historic width and suffer no encroachment or obstruction during the works or at any time after completion.

-        The applicants should ensure that they hold lawful authority to drive over the public footpath.

-        The applicants should note that the right of way has footpath status and will only be maintained as such.
