We are pleased to confirm that, following our objections, the Council has confirmed that it will not remove the right of way – and the decision will be referred to the Planning Inspectorate.
The referral to the Planning Inspectorate allows for their independent evaluation and prior to a final decision.
The Planning Inspectorate will be provided with a detailed case file, which will include copies of all comments and objections received.
The inspector may request further information or indeed call a public inquiry which would be held locally (subject to the guidance related to Covid 19).
We are hopeful that the Planning Inspectorate will agree that Borough Bridge must be maintained.
