Hi all, I've been looking for a suitable plot for many years and recently come across a few that finally look suitable. However, they all seem to have a public footpath or bridleway either directly through the plot or around the side of it within the plot boundary. I know the process to re-route/divert can be long and costly. Does anyone have any experience of obtaining planning permission to develop a site whilst a footpath diversion application is in place? Just trying to ascertain if the site could still be developed at the same time the diversion order was being processed. Obviously if the diversion order has to be completed first before any planning permission is granted you might be talking 2 years for the diversion order to complete, then a year for PP then a year or so for build which is obviously a considerable amount of time! Thanks

Does anyone have views / experience for a choice of materials and build suggestions for paths to a front door to be resilient to snow 'n' ice? More a general question brought on by taking the dustbin out on a frosty morning and an 80 year old person in the house than an urgent need. Finishes that I have around my house include Pressed Council slabs, gravel and aggregate-exposed concrete. Of those: Council Slabs are an elevated patio on adjustable rises, and is very well drained but perfectly flat so sometimes gets ice puddles. Gravel is perfect but more difficult for eg wheelchairs. Exposed aggrgate concrete looks OK and drains well as it has a fall, and is good until conditions become a little more extreme. Ferdinand
