Decision details

A report was presented providing an update on the progress made in relation to matters previously considered by Committee.

Committee noted that although the term 'applications' had been used for convenience these were not all formal applications made under Schedule 14 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 but included some cases where sufficient evidence had been discovered or presented to the county council to indicate an investigation was appropriate.

The Chair informed Committee that funding had now been made available for an additional Public Path Order Officer, which should help with the delay in processing applications.

Resolved: That the report be noted.
