Threemilestone, The Community Centre: Stopping up application
Thank you for your interest in this proposal. The consultation period has now concluded.
Any feedback received during this time has been recorded and will be considered by senior officers at Cornwall Council.
A decision will be made in due course as to whether to proceed with the proposals, amend them or abandon them. Following this, respondents will be notified of the outcome.
We are submitting an application for the stopping up of a section of the highway at Threemilestone Community Centre.
What are we consulting on?
There has been an application submitted to stop up a section of highway at Threemilestone Community Centre, Threemilestone. The area proposed for stopping up is shown with a black and white stripe on plan in the documents section to the right.
Cornwall Council is now consulting on this proposal and is inviting comments or objections from the public before proceeding further.
Why are we doing this?
Cornwall Council has received an application under Section 117 of the Highways Act 1980 to stop up a section of highway at Threemilestone Community Centre, Threemilestone.
The area in question, shown with a black and white stripe on plan, has been built on and is no longer accessible for public use. As such, it is considered surplus to highway requirements.
If the stopping up order is granted, highway rights over this land will be removed, and responsibility for maintenance will revert to the landowner or adjacent properties.
Before proceeding with an application to the court, the Council is seeking views from the wider community and highway users as part of the consultation process.
Next steps
Once the initial consultation process is concluded all responses will be reviewed and, if no objection, the formal consultation will be commenced and an application made to the magistrates court.
The consultation period runs from 3rd of July to the 15th of September 2025.
