Recent applications being considered by PCC

  • Location: Creigiau Farm, Creigiau, Cardiff, CF15 9NN What3Words Location: https://w3w.co/homes.note.depend I am writing to inform you an application has been made to extinguish the Public Right of Way Pentyrch No.79 bridleway. The bridleway is inaccessible on its current alignment due to property frontages and no access across the former railway line. The landowner has applied to extinguish the bridleway as no alternative routes are deemed suitable or agreeable. Please refer to the enclosed plan showing the bridleway section proposed for extinguishment. If you have any objections or comments of support to this proposal, please submit them to the Public Rights of Way Team within 14 days of receipt of this letter.

    Landowner Statement of Reasons for Extinguishment of Bridleway:

    Extensive and multiple site visits have already been held with the council Public Rights of Way Officer and the landowners own consultant to see if as a first option if it is possible to divert Bridleway 79 rather than apply to extinguish it. Unfortunately for various reasons such as there being no easy place to divert the route to in order to link it up with another public road or public right of way and adjoining landowners not been willing to accommodate a diversion this has proved not viable. 

    As background the west end (Point A) of Bridleway 79 ends on an overgrown railway bed and therefore serves no practical termination or joins any other public route whilst  the eastern end  (Point B) joins public Footpath 98 going north on quarry land but also it used to join Bridleway 88 which ran a long way south but was legally permanently extinguished a few years ago and was the main adjoining length of this bridleway route.

    PCC: PCC agreed to object on the grounds that as this is a bridleway if it cannot be reinstated an alternative should be provided. Please contact PCC if you have any objections.
