Deregulation Bill
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what proposals they have included in their rights of way reforms in the Deregulation Bill to enable local authorities retrospectively to reject outstanding applications that have not yet resulted in an order and that do not meet any new prescribed standards introduced in that Bill.[HL5271]
- Answer
-
Provisions in the Deregulation Bill implement a Stakeholder Working Group recommendation for a preliminary assessment by the local authority of every application for a public right of way, and authorities will be able to reject without further consideration any applications that do not meet a prescribed standard.
In addition there is provision in the Bill for certain of the rights of way measures to be applied to applications that have not yet resulted in an order. The preliminary assessment and the ability of local authorities to reject applications that do not meet the prescribed standard are included in those measures.
