The Royal Borough is receiving planning applications on a regular basis from developers who want to build on small parcels of open space that have been “adopted” as public highway. Residents often find these parcels of land (which they consider to be "public" or "council" owned) auctioned off to the highest bidder who then makes a speculative planning application on the land.
The Council must meet its obligations under the Highways Act 1980 and not permit the obstruction of adopted highway. In particular the Royal Borough must act now to:
• Publicise Its desire to enforce the law relating to the obstruction of adopted highways; and
• Ensure that all new planning applications are checked to ensure that they do not obstruct the public highway.
