Can you tell me:
1. The length, in miles, of A) proposed traffic-free paths or greenways being held up because they would need to cross a resistant landowner’s land, and B) the total length of route(s) that would be deliverable were those landowners to assent, i.e. if a proposed path would travel three miles between two towns but A), landowner X refuses to agree to a path across 500m of their land (and there’s no feasible alternative), B), this makes the whole three miles undeliverable, or so expensive to re-route as to be undeliverable.
We do not hold this information
2. Has your local authority successfully used A) the threat (for want of a better word) of, or B) implemented, CPO (compulsory purchase order) powers to deliver any traffic-free cycling and/or walking paths since April 2017?
If so, any details would be appreciated.
Devon County Council have recently delivered a scheme connecting the missing section of a shared use path between Seaton and Colyford which utilised CPO. Scheme details are available in the following record: Notice of Confirmation
