Specific Delegation:

(If any)

Power to apply to the Secretary of State for an order stopping up or diverting any highway under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990:-

•         Section 247 Highways affected by development.

Brief Description of Decision:

To support the implementation of the stopping up of two irregular shaped areas of highway bounded by Corporation Street, Domine Lane and the River Don subject to DfT processes.

Reasons for the Decision:

The scheme approved at planning creates a pedestrian walkway from Market St/Domine Lane to the new pedestrian bridge to Forge Island through a tiered landscaped space. Stopping up of the areas mentioned above is required to enhance pedestrian movement in the area.

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

The alternative option is not to agree to the stopping up of these areas of highway resulting in the Riverside Gardens design approved by planning not being deliverable. Requiring a redesign and amended planning application to be submitted. By removing the areas to be stopped up the scheme would be negatively affected, as there would be less space to enable the accessible to all ramped path access through the site to be installed.
