The Committee approved the application, subject to the Conditions referred to in the report from the Planning and New Communities Director, and to the following Informatives:

2.    No alteration to the footpath surface is permitted without consent from Cambridgeshire County Council (it is an offence to damage the surface of a public footpath under s 1 of the Criminal Damage Act 1971).

3.    Landowners are reminded that it is their responsibility to maintain hedges and fences adjacent to public rights of way, and that any transfer of land should account for any such boundaries (Section 154 Highways Act 1980).

4.    The granting of planning permission does not entitle a developer to obstruct a public right of way (Circular 1/09 para 7.1).
