To submit the report of the Head of Environment Department.
LOCAL MEMBER: Councillor Louise Hughes
Minutes:
The Senior Rights
of Way Officer (Arfon) noted that due to local
interest on the item, it was recommended to defer in order to consider it at
the next meeting to be held in Dolgellau on 26 February.
The local member
noted that she supported deferring the item due to the local interest and it
would be better to consider it when the meeting was held in Dolgellau.
It was proposed
and seconded to defer the item. A vote was taken on the proposal and it
carried.
A member suggested
that a site visit should be undertaken. The Senior Solicitor asked on what
grounds it was suggested to hold a site visit, considering that written
evidence and photographs of signs in the location had been included in the
agenda. He emphasised that evidence of use of the footpath or prevention of use
was what was under consideration when discussing such an application.
A proposal to
undertake a site visit in order to see the site in its context was made and
seconded. A vote was taken on the above proposal, but it fell.
In response to a
question from a member in relation to whether additional information was
available on the application, the Senior Solicitor noted that if the members
had any questions about the application, they should contact the Senior Rights
of Way Officer (Arfon) and they could ask to view
additional information.
RESOLVED to defer the application.
