• grid reference 356397 168760 at Highridge Green in a northeasterly direction along the hard surface footpath for approximately 22 metres to grid reference 356416 168772 at Geoffrey Close, then running in a generally easterly direction along Geoffrey Close for approximately 107 metres to grid reference 356522 168768 at the end of Geoffrey Close, then following the hard surface footpath running in a generally southerly direction for approximately 6 metres to grid reference 356523 168762, then in a generally easterly direction for approximately 28 metres to grid reference 356551 168764, then in a generally northerly direction for approximately 14 metres to grid reference 356543 168776, then running in a generally north-easterly direction for approximately 33 metres to grid reference 356573 168789 at Spartley Drive, being a total distance of approximately 210 metres with a width of 1.5 metres along its entire length as shown on the order map accompanying the order.

The order is also made under Section 53A(2) of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (the 1981 Act) because it appears to the authority that the City Council of Bristol definitive map and statement require modification in consequence of the occurrence of an event specified in section 53(3)(a)(i) of the 1981 Act, namely the diversion of a highway shown or required to be shown in the map and statement.

A copy of the order and the order map have been placed and may be seen free of charge at the offices of Bristol City Council, City Hall, Bristol BS1 5TR, during normal office hours. Copies of the order and map may be bought there at a price of 30p. Copies of the order and order map may be sent by second class post on receipt of a written request at a price of £6 to cover the Council’s administrative costs.
