There is currently a proposal to divert Holmfirth Public Footpath 60 at Wolfstone Heights Farm in connection with a planning permission granted in 2014. The case neatly highlights the endemic failings of Kirklees Planning not properly considering public rights of way.
The issue of Holmfirth Footpath 60 ought to have been looked at much more closely by planners. This seems to have been given the nod through despite Kirklees planners being blissfully unaware that Footpath 60 gives direct and traffic free access to the open access land at Wolfstone Height.
If the proposal succeeds 150 metres of lovely open and direct rural footpath will be turned into an enclosed,hard surfaced 130 metre footpath going in the wrong direction and dumping you on a road without a footway some 140 metres from where you were going.
The proposal is shown here reconsult plan with something of an explanation here reason statement .Deadline for comments is 3rd August 2018.
