Footnote:  The development site adjoins a public right of way.  This must not be obstructed by any plant, materials or equipment during the development.  Any obstruction of the route, including obstruction by the temporary storage of materials or equipment, would constitute an offence under the Highways Act 1980 and may lead to enforcement proceedings.

 

If building works mean that the public right of way cannot be kept open because of safety hazards, a temporary diversion or closure order must be obtained.  For details, please contact the Council's Transportation and Highways (Network Resilience) team via network.management@bradford.gov.uk

 

The surface of the footpath should not be disturbed.  However, if damage to the public footpath caused by development works does occur, it must be promptly repaired by the applicant at their expense.  If any changes are proposed that would affect the surface in any way, these must be approved, in advance by the Rights of Way Section.  No new stiles, gates, barriers or other structures can be erected on or across a public right of way without prior approval from the Council's Rights of Way Section.  Contact rightsofway@bradford.gov.uk.

 

The requirements of the Equality Act 2010 must also be considered.
