Mixed opinion amongst Access Forum members (record all views below)

Majority View Although there was agreement that the route should be a core path there was uncertainty over the preferred route, a number of members felt the diversion shown in the report would be favourable, however this would require obtaining the permission of all landowners affected by the diversion and the cost of the diversion should be met by the householder. If this cannot be achieved the route should be designated as is shown. Minority View
