Outcome and reasons for the decision

2 June 2005 - the County Council decided not to make an Order on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence and that the route was not successfully claimed in 1954. The County Council made the decision to make an Order on 5 January 2007 following the direction.

Details of appeal to the Secretary of State

The applicant appealed to the Government Office. The County Council was directed to make an Order for a footpath on 3 August 2006. A number of objections to the Order were submitted. The Order was submitted to the Secretary of State on 9 June 2008 for determination. A public inquiry was held at Woolsthorpe village hall on 16 December 2008.

Confirmation,non confirmation (with,without mods)

The Secretary of State decided on 23 January 2009 not to confirm the Order. It was considered that the evidence adduced by the Applicant was insufficient, on the balance of probabilities, to demonstrate that such a public right subsists.
