MY COMMENTS

I had asked for the associated issues with the order to be addressed by the inspectorate. Para 4 of the Order Decision explains.

Inspector Mrs Helen Slade opened the PI by stating that she would not deal with any matters relating to Broxhead Common or the issues associated with the Order.    She offered no explanation for this other than saying she could only consider the Order as submitted and any other related matters.  That meant excluding evidence which showed the claimed route B – D is in fact a continuation of an old highway, Cradle Lane.

The ‘accommodation road’ to Lindford declared for the FA 1910 also joins it at point B from the south.

She also said she did not want to hear the word ‘common’ associated with the application, which was the only subject she would address. She would also apply costs if these instructions were not adhered to.  

This prohibited much of the evidence from being presented, as the claimed route runs almost entirely on historical highways, common land or manorial waste.  

Next time:  my notes continued.
