90/20/PC To consider under the Town & Country Planning Act 1990, proposed Public Path Diversion Order of Footpath AX 32/21 (in part) Land at Lakeside, in the Parish of Burnham and Highbridge.
The meeting discussed the Public Path Diversion Order and were very pleased to see that the diversion improved public safety by diverting it away from crossing the railway line. This had been a safety concern of the Town Council on the outline planning application 11/18/087.
